Case Studies


Tera-10 at CEA/DAM

Tera10 is a multi-rail system of 544 NovaScale 6160 Computing Nodes for a total of 8704 Itanium Montecito Processors interconnected with QsNetII, and the first Quadrics system using paralle fiber links.
System Performance:
  • 60 Teraflops of Computing Power
  • 27 Terabytes of Core Memory
  • 1 Petabytes of disc space with a throughput of 100GB/s

    Thunder at LLNL

    Quadrics has collaborated with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory over the past 4 years to integrate Quadrics technologies in over six large scale commodity based clusters to ensure that the demanding production performance, scalability and stability requirements of the Laboratory are satisfied. The latest Quadrics based system at LLNL , called Thunder delivers world-record performance for a commodity Linux cluster.

    Brutus Cluster at ETHZ

    Brutus is a high-performance Linux cluster consisting of 2200 processor cores in 756 compute nodes deployed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), one of the top research centers in the world.

    512 of the 756 compute nodes are connected together via high-speed Quadrics QsNetII network, and characterized by high bandwidth (870 MB/s sustained) and low latency (1us).

    ASCI Q at LANL

    The ASCI-Q system at Los Alamos National Laboratory was in the 22nd top500 list the most powerful supercomputing system in the US. It is based on the HP™ AlphaServer™ SC. It deploys 2 rails of Quadrics QsNet and spans over 2000 nodes.
    The Q-machine can be described as a cluster of Shared Memory Multiprocessors (SMP), which is expected to deliver a peak performance in excess of 30 Teraflops with approximately 12,000 processors. Multiple independent QsNet network rails will interconnect the SMPs through their I/O ports (PCI or PCI-X).

    Mpp2 at PNNL

    Quadrics worked very closely with HP and HP sub-contractors in architecting a Linux/Supercomputing solution. Quadrics interconnect (QsNet) and software-stack (QsRMS) have been ported to Linux and are now being deployed in production environments at both US National Laboratories and Industrial organization where performance and reliability both play demanding roles in guaranteeing time-to-solution.

    MCR at LLNL

    In order to meet the exacting requirements of this program, Quadrics developed a custom version of its QsNet switch and expanded the number of nodes in the fat tree topology for a given number of switch stages to produce a more cost effective network.This allowed the proven supercomputer class technology of QsNet to be combined with commodity processing elements.

    Le Mieux at PSC

    The Terascale Computing System at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), entered the top500 some 2 years ago as the most powerful Supercomputer in academia with an RMAX of 4463 GigaFlops. It was the first system to deploy the federated QsNet network and comprises 2 rails of Quadrics QsNet. The system is based on the HP' AlphaServer SC product and combines Intel processing nodes using Linux to create a customized heterogeneous QsNet configuration for high performance graphics and storage.
