Features
Performance and Scalability
⚫
Powered by Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable Skylake or Cascade Lake processors, the server
provides up to 28 cores, 3.8 GHz frequency, a 38.5 MB L3 cache, and three 10.4 GT/s
UPI links between the processors, which deliver supreme processing performance.
−
It supports four processors with 112 cores and 224 threads to maximize the
concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.
−
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run faster than the
frequency specified in the Thermal Design Power (TDP) configuration if they are
operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
−
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables each processor core to run up to two
threads, improving parallel computation capability.
−
The hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) allows
operating system (OS) vendors to better use hardware to address virtualization
workloads.
−
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) significantly accelerates
floating-point performance for computing-intensive applications.
−
The Cascade Lake processors support Intel® Deep Learning Boost vector neural
network instructions (VNNI) to improve the performance of deep learning
applications.
⚫
The CH242 V5 fully configured with 48 LRDIMMs provides supreme speed, high
availability, and a maximum memory capacity of 6 TB.
⚫
The maximum theoretical memory bandwidth is 550 GB/s (64 bit/8 x 2933 MHz x 6
channels x 4), which is 83.3% higher than that of the previous-generation platform.
⚫
The use of all solid-state drives (SSDs) is supported. An SSD supports up to 100 times
more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical hard disk drive (HDD). The use of
all SSDs provides higher I/O performance than the use of all HDDs or a combination of
HDDs and SSDs.
⚫
The compute node supports 192-lane PCIe 3.0 (8 GT/s per lane) to provide 20% higher
I/O bandwidth than the previous 160-lane PCIe.
⚫
With Intel integrated I/O, the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable processors integrate the PCIe 3.0
controller to shortens I/O latency and improve overall system performance.
⚫
The compute node supports mezzanine cards with a variety of network ports to meet
requirements for flexible networking.
⚫
The compute node supports standard PCIe SSD cards.
