SuperMUC – FactsSUSE® High Performance Computing
• 60x faster,one of the fastest HPC systems in Europe
• 20x better performance per Watt,provide green HPC
• > 155,000 Intel Xeon Processor,migration from Itanium2 to x86

LRZ - Leibniz RechenzentrumEurope’s supercomputer run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
Business challenge:LRZ is part of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which operates the most powerful HPC infrastructure in Europe, and needs to provide researchers across Europe with a reliable and powerful HPC platform, which enables users to make faster progress in their complex research projects. To reduce the environmental impact of HPC, the institution aimed at improving the energy efficiency leverage established automation solutions to maximise the efficiency and manageability of the new supercomputing platform.
Benefits:• Completed easy and smooth migration from previous Itanium 2
infrastructure to new x86 processor architecture• Considerably simplified configuration and automation of the new system,
using the automation capabilities of AutoYaST(integrated with SLES)• Improved the energy efficiency: SuperMUC delivers appro. 20 times
more performance per watt than its predecessor• Boosted overall performance by a factor of 60
Solution:Working with SUSE and IBM, LRZ implemented SuperMUC with approx. 9,400 general purpose computing nodes, a peak performance of three Petaflop/s, comprised of 155,000 Intel Xeon processor cores and more than 300 TB main memory. LRZ chose to run SuperMUC on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, leveraging SUSE’s proven HPC expertise and leading automation tools such as AutoYaST, which allows systems to be installed without manual intervention.
“We have relied on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for 15 years, and have always been very satisfied.
The SUSE team is close at hand, should we require support or guidance.
We have received highly competent support over the years, and look forward to collaborating with them.
