nodes in its ~1,500 core (including Phi cores) compute component with tiered storage based on the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) parallel file system fused with near-line tape library through Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) module in its storage component (aggregating ~100 TB in tier-1 magnetic disk, ~600 TB in tier-2 magnetic disk, and ~4 PB in tier-3 tape when fully populated with disks and tapes). Communication layers include Fourteen Data Rate (FDR) InfiniBand, 10 GigE, and 1 GigE. While the infrastructure is optimized for fast Input/Output (I/O) targeting efficient operations on high-velocity and low-veracity “big-data” it also serves as a powerful auxiliary modeling and simulation tool. DICRE has modular design for easy on-demand expansion.
