Reference architecture
High-performance computing (HPC) systems are available in various sizes. These solutions can start with a few nodes and scale out to hundreds or even thousands of nodes.
This chapter describes CORAL-like driven HPC systems in two different sizes to illustrate the process of their design and scaling. The cases describe solutions for large clusters, and then describe medium-sized ones by highlighting features, differences, and functions consolidation.
The following topics are described in this chapter:
