More than 10 km of fibre optic wires are needed to cable all 1820 nodes of HPC5

The power of the Eni supercomputer

HPC5, located inside Eni's Green Data Center has a peak power of over 50 petaflops/s. It is the most powerful non governmental supercomputer in the world. Together with its predecessor HPC4, the processing power of the two supercomputers exceeds 70 petaflops/s. It consists of 1820 Dell EMC PowerEdge C4140 nodes, each with 2 Intel Gold 6252 24-core CPUs and 4 NVIDIA V100 GPU accelerators.

The nodes will be connected through an Infiniband Mellanox HDR ultra-high-performance network with a speed of 200 Gbit/s, using over 10 km of fibre-optic cable. HPC5 comes with a high-performance 15-petabyte storage system (200 GB/s aggregate read/write speeds).
