IP133 Blade Architecture Overview
An enhanced and updated dual-node SGI ICE X (IP133) compute blade is used in specific
versions of the ICE X systems. The IP133 blade architecture is described in the following sections.
Two dual-socket node boards are installed in each IP 133 blade. Each node board in the blade
contains the processors, memory, and the following fourteen-data rate (FDR) InfiniBand
embedded HCA:
•
Two HCAs each with a single-port IB connector
Each of the two node boards inside the compute blade is configured with two Intel processors - a
maximum of four processors per compute blade. Note that the two node boards within the blade
are logically independent. Each processor assembly uses a liquid-cooled “cold-sink” to draw off
heat from the CPU. Processor core counts will differ on individual blades based on processing
requirements. Check with your SGI sales representative for processor core counts that meet your
compute needs.
Note:
In a blade enclosure-pair using IP133 nodes, all four switch blades must be present, as two
switch blades are required for each enclosure. This configuration supports a single-plane topology
in each of the blade enclosures.
A maximum of 16 DDR4 memory DIMMs are supported per compute blade (8 on each node
board). The DIMM slots support up to 2133 MT/s DIMMs.
Each node board in the IP133 blade assembly supports one optional 2.5-inch hard disk drive or
one optional solid state drive (SSD).
The two processors on each node board in the IP133 blade maintain an interactive communication
link using the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology. This high-speed interconnect
technology provides data transfers between the on-board processors. See the section “QuickPath
Interconnect Features” on page 34 for an overview of link functionality and bandwidth capability.
The IP133 compute blade assembly cannot be plugged into and cannot be used in “previous
generation” SGI Altix ICE 8200 or 8400 series blade enclosures. The IP133 is a custom
liquid-cooled blade and usage in third-party or non SGI ICE X racks is unsupported at the time
this document was published. Multi-generational system interconnects can be made through the
InfiniBand fabric level. Check with your SGI service or sales representative for additional
information on these topics.
