Complementary Systems¶

Complementary systems offer development environment for users that need to port and optimize their code and applications for various hardware architectures and software technologies that are not available on standard clusters.

Complementary Systems 1¶

First stage of complementary systems implementation comprises of these partitions:

compute partition 0 – based on ARM technology - legacy
compute partition 1 – based on ARM technology - A64FX
compute partition 2 – based on Intel technologies - Ice Lake, NVDIMMs + Bitware FPGAs
compute partition 3 – based on AMD technologies - Milan, MI100 GPUs + Xilinx FPGAs
compute partition 4 – reflecting Edge type of servers
partition 5 – FPGA synthesis server

Complementary Systems 2¶

Second stage of complementary systems implementation comprises of these partitions:

compute partition 6 - based on ARM technology + CUDA programmable GPGPU accelerators on ampere architecture + DPU network processing units
compute partition 7 - based on IBM Power10 architecture
compute partition 8 - modern CPU with a very high L3 cache capacity (over 750MB)
compute partition 9 - virtual GPU accelerated workstations
compute partition 10 - Sapphire Rapids-HBM server
compute partition 11 - NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip

Modules and Architecture Availability¶

Complementary systems list available modules automatically based on the detected architecture.

However, you can load one of the three modules -- aarch64, avx2, and avx512 -- to reload the list of modules available for the respective architecture:

[user@login.cs ~]$ ml architecture/aarch64

  aarch64 modules + all modules

[user@login.cs ~]$ ml architecture/avx2

  avx2 modules + all modules

[user@login.cs ~]$ ml architecture/avx512

  avx512 modules + all modules
