Supplies

II.1.4) Short description:

DTU wants to purchase a fast, high capacity, HPC cluster for wind energy, mechanical structure optimization, and general research purposes, with an emphasis on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models.

A large part of the research in wind energy technology is centered around computer models, from advanced structural modeling, aeroelastic and dynamic stability, aerodynamics, incompressible finite volume based computational fluid dynamics models, wind resources, and mesoscale meteorological models.

The typical workload on the computer is a blend of large parametric studies of a relative, short single-processor runs, parallel runs utilizing a limited number of CPU's with high memory requirement, and massive parallel runs with balanced memory requirements.

A range of software is in use, ranging from locally developed applications to standard scientific software from other research institutes and commercial vendors.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement:

The Danish Technical University (DTU) wants to purchase a fast, high capacity, high performance computing cluster for wind energy, mechanical structure optimization, and general research purposes, with an emphasis on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models.

The Danish wind energy research environment is internationally recognized as being in the forefront of wind energy technology, and The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has provided a major part of the wind energy research in Denmark.

A large part of the research is centered around computer models, from advanced structural modeling, aeroelastic and dynamic stability, aerodynamics, incompressible finite volume based computational fluid dynamics models, wind resources, and mesoscale meteorological models.

A range of software is in use, ranging from locally developed applications to standard scientific software from other research institutes and commercial vendors.

This system is to be built as a commodity hardware cluster based on Linux and open source software. The operating system for the cluster will be a recent version of CentOS 7 or RedHat 7 and the cluster will be deployed using the OpenHPC (http://openhpc.community/) for the compute nodes and EasyBuild (http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or Spack (https://spack.io/) for the cluster software.

All servers in this cluster will have Lustre client installed for access various file systems residing on a Lustre storage cluster.

Parallel computations are expected to be mainly conducted using Message Passing Interface (MPI) protocol and utilize the OpenMPI and Mvapich software packages in particular.

Compilers used:

— GNU C/C++/Fortran,

— Intel C/C++/Fortran, and,

— PGI,

The community version of SLURM (https://www.schedmd.com/) will be used for resource management and scheduling.

In addition, the ethernet for management purposes the cluster should have a low latency, high-performance, and non-blocking network, preferably with simple cabling, for compute node interconnection and storage transport.

Evaluation will include a benchmark test.

It is mandatory that test servers are provided for this benchmark test, at least 2 fully configured servers according to requirements 7.1-7.21 fully representing the setup of the tendered solution.
