Tigons are powerful hybrid animals, a cross breed between lions and tigers. Powerful yet versatile, the Eurotech Aurora Tigon breaks all performance barriers, maintaining very high energy efficiency. Based on x86 Intel processors, the Tigon nodes have additional 2 accelerators that can be Nvidia GPUs or Intel Phi coprocessors.
The Tigon architecture ensures extreme scalability and the flexibility that guarantees user to configure the supercomputer to meet their today requirements yet providing the possibility to upgrade and adapt to future needs.
Cooled by the proven Aurora Direct Hot Water Cooling, the Tigon unveils very high densities and it leverages both Infiniband and 3D torus connectivity, providing low latency and scalability.
Performance – up to 430 Tflop/s per rack - 84% Rmax/Rpeak
Save space – 2560 CPU processor cores, 256 accelerators, up to 430 Tflop/s in just 1.5 m2
Save energy– 3.2 Gflop/s per Watt – data center PUE of 1.05, no need for air conditioning, up to 50% less energy consumed
No compatibility issues– Tigon architecture is based on standard off the shelf components
Flexible Liquid Cooling– All components are cooled by water, temperature from 18°C to 52°C and variable flow rates
Reliability– 2 independent sensor networks, soldered memory, no moving parts
