The Technical University of Berlin is planning to expand an existing HPC cluster to carry out scientific calculations.
The expansion is intended to support a wide range of applications and therefore includes both CPU and GPU nodes based on the x86-64 architecture.
The Technical University of Berlin is planning to expand an existing HPC cluster to carry out scientific calculations.
The expansion is intended to support a wide range of applications and therefore includes both CPU and GPU nodes based on the x86-64 architecture. On the one hand, it should allow independent use, but it should also blend in with the existing environment as seamlessly as possible. In particular, an existing high-speed network is to be expanded, thus enabling the use of a distributed storage system.
A fixed budget of EUR 400,000.00 (including VAT) is available for the purchase. Within the scope of this budget, an expansion of an HPC cluster is to be implemented, which, taking into account the required performance characteristics, has the highest possible performance and number of nodes.
All components of the HPC cluster should be new devices. Reconditioned products, returns, etc. or gray imports are excluded.
