1,024 x64 CPU threads in just 2u? (AMD EPYC)

[Richard Graeme]

Guys

 

You've talked about the AMD EPYC 7002 64-core (128 thread) before..  but -  It would be very interesting to feature this build-option cus it's crazy high spec for just 2u...  and maybe come up with some sensible benchmarks, if you could swing it.

 

Supermicro have, from their  'Aplus' range -  a Quad-node server in 2u, dual cpu per node servers.   

 

      - I'm thinking  2123BT-HNC0R (v2 board).   It is a 2u server with 4 server-blades, and dual redundant PSU.   

 

     Each node can be configured with up to 4TB ram,   Flash storage and 10Gbit networking - there's a quad 10GbaseT personality card, and remote server management/IPMI.

   

    Collectively that's a huge specification in just 2u -   512 real cores/1024t  -- crazy storage options and memory potential,   (16TB ram in 2u?).  

 

    Should be enough to get some wow's and stupidly high performance numbers...

Just think of the productivity. The VMs you could run.

 

I want one now...

Hate being the fun-killer but no "Redundant" PSU's exist to power such a monster. Though, if you are considering such a device having an engineering department build a custom one probably isn't out of the question.

hmm possibly i've put this thread in the wrong forum.  oops! .

 

.. in software mode?       heck, you've got 256t and oodles or ram per node.  perhaps..

 

-- it has pcie 3.0 slots, low profile. so the cards would have to be kicked out of the case, but i guess it could work..
