The expanded HPC system bwUniCluster 3.0 now consists of more than 370 SMP nodes with 64-bit processors from AMD and Intel. It offers the universities of the state of Baden-Württemberg a basic supply and can be used free of charge by the employees of all participating universities.
The massive parallel computer integrates around 90 new computing nodes, which are operated at the KIT North Campus. A further 280 or so nodes come from the expansion of bwUniCluster 2.0 from 2022 and will continue to be operated at the KIT South Campus. Thanks to modern components and the existing infrastructure for hot water cooling at the North Campus, the now significantly more powerful hardware of the cluster can be operated even more energy-efficiently.
- Compute power: 7,1 PetaFlop/s
- 112 Graphics processing units
- ca 27.000 Compute cores
