Bull HPC solutions offer a unique combination of:
Bull expertise to design and implement your cluster
A cluster designed and sized for perfect fit with your codes – and your budget
- Small or large configuration, the size of your cluster is determined for perfect match with your needs.
- The right infrastructure to fit your compute loads: Bull clusters can include a combination of Xeon®-based nodes and NVIDIA® Tesla™ systems, all managed transparently within BAS for Xeon and accessing the same file system.
- High bandwidth network to match communications requirements inside applications: Gigabit Ethernet or InfiniBand
- High performance I/O: with multi core processors and massive parallelism, access to data and file system is the real key to performance.
Expertise in computer room design and overall energy efficiency
Bull provides leading-edge products and expertise to optimize footprint, cooling and power consumption. Intelligent computer room design has as much effect on electrical consumption as the efficiency of individual devices. Bull experts can simulate the entire computer room with air flows, to optimize cooling, cabling, and rack positioning for maximum space and energy utilisation.
And with the Cool Cabinet Door, Bull proposes an energy-efficient alternative or complement to air-conditioning, by adding water-cooling at cabinet level so as to avoid releasing heat into the computer room.
