Overview of a UBELIX CPU compute node

Each UBELIX CPU compute node is equipped with two CPU sockets with up to 96 cores each, depending on the node type.

The CPU compute nodes are equipped with roughly 8GB of DDR memory per CPU core on the AMD EPYC nodes.

Depending on their generation, the UBELIX CPU compute nodes each have a single 100 Gb/s interface to the Infiniband interconnect.

Depending on the node type the CPU compute nodes are equipped with up to 1.5TiB of local NVMe SSD storage avaible as local scratch for high-performance I/O operations. See the UBELIX data storage options for details.
