Expanse is a dedicated ACCESS cluster designed by Dell and SDSC delivering 5.16 peak petaflops, and will offer Composable Systems and Cloud Bursting.
Expanse's standard compute nodes are each powered by two 64-core AMD EPYC 7742 processors and contain 256 GB of DDR4 memory, while each GPU node contains four NVIDIA V100s (32 GB SMX2) connected via NVLINK and dual 20-core Intel Xeon 6248 CPUs. Expanse also has four 2 TB large memory nodes.

Allocated CiDeR Resources
Allocated storage for projects using Expanse Compute and Expanse GPU resources.
Expanse GPU will be a Dell integrated cluster, NVIDIA V100 GPUs with NVLINK, interconnected with Mellanox HDR InfiniBand in a hybrid fat-tree topology. There are a total of 52 nodes with four V100 SMX2 GPUs per node (with NVLINK connectivity). There are two 20-core Xeon 6248 CPUs per node. Full bisection bandwidth will be available at rack level (52 CPU nodes, 4 GPU nodes) with HDR100 connectivity to each node. HDR200 switches are used at the rack level and there will be 3:1 oversubscription cross-rack. In addition, Expanse also has four 2 TB large memory nodes. The system will also feature 12PB of Lustre based performance storage (140GB/s aggregate), and 7PB of Ceph based object storage.
Expanse will be a Dell integrated compute cluster, with AMD Rome processors, interconnected with Mellanox HDR InfiniBand in a hybrid fat-tree topology. There are 728 compute nodes, each with two 64-core AMD EPYC 7742 (Rome) processors for a total of 93,184 cores. They will feature 1TB of NVMe storage and 256GB of DRAM per node. Full bisection bandwidth will be available at rack level (56 nodes) with HDR100 connectivity to each node. HDR200 switches are used at the rack level and there will be 3:1 oversubscription cross-rack. In addition, Expanse also has four 2 TB large memory nodes. The system will also feature 12PB of Lustre based performance storage (140GB/s aggregate), and 7PB of Ceph based object storage.
