| Description |
Bridges-2 combines high-performance computing (HPC), high performance artificial intelligence (HPAI), and large-scale data management to support simulation and modeling, data analytics, community data, and complex workflows.
Bridges-2 Extreme Memory (EM) nodes enable memory-intensive genome sequence assembly, graph analytics, in-memory databases, statistics, and other applications that need a large amount of memory and for which distributed-memory implementations are not available. Bridges-2 Extreme Memory (EM) nodes each consist of 4 Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M “Cascade Lake” CPUs, 4TB of DDR4-2933 RAM, 7.68TB NVMe SSD. They are connected to Bridges-2's other compute nodes and its Ocean parallel filesystem and archive by two HDR-200 InfiniBand links, providing 400Gbps of bandwidth to read or write data from each EM node.
