Piz Daint supercomputer is a Cray XC50 system and the flagship system at CSCS – Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, Lugano. Piz Daint is a hybrid Cray XC50 system with a 4’400 nodes available to the User Lab. The compute nodes are equipped with an Intel® Xeon® E5-2690 v3 @ 2.60GHz (12 cores, 64GB RAM) and NVIDIA® Tesla® P100 16GB. The nodes are connected by the “Aries” proprietary interconnect from Cray, with a dragonfly network topology. Please visit for further information the CSCS website.

SuperMUC is the Tier-0 supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching, Germany. It provides resource to PRACE via the German Gauss Centre. SuperMUC Phase 1 consists of 18 Thin Node Islands with Intel Sandy Bridge processors and one Fat Node Island with Intel Westmere processors. Each compute Island contains (512 compute nodes, each node having 16 physical cores) 8192 cores for the user applications. Each of these cores has approx. 1.6 GB/core available for running applications. Peak performance is 3.1 Petaflops. All compute nodes within an individual Island are connected via a fully non-blocking Infiniband network (FDR10 for the Thin Nodes and QDR for the Fat Nodes). A pruned tree network connects the Islands. SuperMUC Phase 2 consists of 6 Islands based on Intel Haswell-EP processor technology (512 nodes/island, 28 physical cores/node and available memory 2.0 GB/core for applications, 3072 nodes, 3.6 PF). All compute nodes within an individual Island are connected via a fully non-blocking Infiniband network (FDR14). A pruned tree network connects the Islands. Both system phases share the same Parallel and Home filesystems. For technical assistance: lrzpost@lrz.de or https://servicedesk.lrz.de/?lang=en
Italian supercomputer systems complement the PRACE infrastructure from spring 2012. CINECA’s Tier-0 system named MARCONI provides access to PRACE users since July 2016. The MARCONI system is equipped with the new Intel Xeon processors and it has two different partitions: Marconi – Broadwell (A1 partition) consists of ~7 Lenovo NeXtScale racks with 72 nodes per rack. Each node contains 2 Broadwell processors each with 18 cores and 128 GB of DDR4 RAM. Marconi – KNL (A2 partition) was deployed at the end of 2016 and consists of 3600 Intel server nodes integrated by Lenovo. Each node contains 1 Intel Knights Landing processor with 68 cores, 16 GB of MCDRAM and 96 GB of DDR4 RAM. The entire system is connected via the Intel OmniPath network. The global peak performance of the Marconi system is 13 Petaflops. In Q3 2017 the MARCONI Broadwell partition will be replaced by a new one based on Intel Skylake processors and Lenovo Stark architecture, reaching a total computational power in excess of 20 Petaflops.

MareNostrum is based on Intel latest generation general purpose Xeon E5 processors with 2.1 GHz (two CPUs with 24 cores each per node, 48 cores/node), 2 GB/core and 240 GB of local SSD disk acting as local /tmp. A total of 48 racks, each with 72 compute nodes, for a total of 3456 nodes. A bit more than 200 nodes have 8GB/core. All nodes are interconnected through an Intel Omni-Path 100Gbits/s network, with a non-blocking fat tree network topology. MareNostrum has a peak performance of 11,14 Petaflops.
