Cost-effective Parallel Computing with Large Core Counts
Microway Navion™ Dense Clusters with AMD EPYC™ Processors
Navion Clusters deliver supercomputing performance at a lower power, lower cost, and with better cooling than the competition. Users with compute-intensive applications including DSP, CFD and FEA, as well as high-performance database and enterprise-class applications choose Navion clusters for exceptional performance and power/space efficiency.
For large core count clusters, we provide 5120 processor cores in a standard 42U rackmount cabinet. Our Navion Twin2 servers include four dual-processor compute nodes (totaling 256 cores) in a 2U chassis. Effectively doubling rack capacity, each motherboard features two 32-core AMD EPYC 7000-series processors, up to 2 TB of DDR4 2666Mhz memory, InfiniBand and Gigabit Ethernet, robust cooling, and ample storage.
Installed Software
A Microway Navion preconfigured cluster comes preinstalled with:
- Linux distribution of your choice, including Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, Fedora and Gentoo
- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, Libraries and SDK
- Bright Cluster Manager or Microway Cluster Management Software (MCMS™) integrated with optional MPI Link-Checker™ Fabric Validation Suite
- Portland Group Compilers (PGI)
- User-level applications and libraries optional
