Architecture and technical
description
The IBM Power System S822LC for High Performance Computing (8335-GTB) server, the
first Power System offering with NVIDIA NVLink Technology, removes GPU computing
bottlenecks by employing the high-bandwith and low-latency NVLink interface from CPU to
GPU and GPU to GPU. This unlocks new performance and new applications for accelerated
computing.
Power System LC servers are a product of a co-design with OpenPOWER Foundation
ecosystem members. Power S822LC for High Performance Computing innovation partners
include IBM, NVIDIA, Mellanox, Canonical, Wistron, and more.
The Power S822LC server offers a modular design to scale from single racks to hundreds,
simplicity of ordering, and a strong innovation roadmap for GPUs.

The IBM Power S822LC for High Performance Computing (8335-GTB) server offers two
processor sockets for a total of 16 cores at 3.259 GHz (3.857 GHz turbo) or 20 cores at 2.860
GHz (3.492 GHz turbo) in a 19-inch rack-mount, 2U (EIA units) drawer configuration. All the
cores are activated.
The server provides eight memory daughter cards with 16 GB (4x4 GB), 32 GB (4x8 GB),
64 GB (4x16 GB), and 128 GB (4x32 GB), allowing for a maximum system memory of
1024 GB.
