System Cost (Chemistry) – ROI Example

InfiniBand 40Gb/s Connected Ethernet Connected

$95K (blades servers) Cost (estimation) $80K (blade servers)

1400 jobs/dayCost per job: $70

Productivity 200 jobs/dayCost per job: $400

16 servers provide performance equal to 16 servers capability

Utilization 16 servers provide performance equal to 2.2 servers capability

$95K - in actual compute capability $0 - wasted

Return on Investment $11K - in actual compute capability$69K - wasted

>3X performance vs GigE $9000 saving in power (year) 24-node cluster

>4X performance vs 10GigE >82% power reduction per job 24-node cluster

>50% higher performance vs 10GigE 12 server nodes with IB achieve higher

performance than 24 server nodes with 10GigE

>2X faster simulation vs 10GigE >60% power reduction per job 24-node cluster
