TITAN Supercomputer

TITAN crowned as World's Fastest Supercomputer

Titan Cray XK7 is the latest supercomputer to be deployed at  Oak Ridge National Laboratory 


                                       The hardware comes from Cray.Titan uses 200 cabinets which has 18,688 nodes (4 nodes per blade, 24 blades per cabinet) each containing a 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 CPU with 32 GB of DDR3 ECC memory and an Nvidia Tesla K20X GPU with 6 GB GDDR5 ECC memory.The total computational power of Titan is 17.59 petaflops per second(17 thousand trillion calculations per second).There are a total of 299,008 processor cores and just over 710 TB of RAM.

The initial cost of the upgrade was US$60 million

Storage
 
               System storage is equally impressive: there's a total of 10 petabytes of storage in Titan.ORNL uses 10,000 standard 1TB 7200 RPM 2.5" hard drives. The IO subsystem is capable of pushing around 240GB/s of data






OS & Software




Titan runs the Cray Linux Environment, which is based on SUSE 11.



 
Power Delivery

Total power consumption for Titan should be around 9 megawatts under full load and around 7 megawatts during typical use.
