Abstract

JURECA is a petaflop-scale modular supercomputer operated by Jülich Supercomputing Centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The system combines a flexible Cluster module, based on T-Platforms V-Class blades with a balanced selection of best of its kind components, with a scalability focused Booster module, delivered by Intel and Dell EMC based on the Xeon Phi many-core processor. With its novel architecture, it supports a wide variety of high-performance computing and data analytics workloads.
