ClusterVision.
It will consist of about 2000 nodes, each equipped with 2 processors (Intel Xeon E5-2650v2, 2.6 GHz, 8 cores from the Ivy Bridge-EP family) and internally connected with an Intel QDR-80 dual-link high-speed InfiniBand fabric.
Energy-efficient cooling will be provided by the mineral-oil based CarnotJet System of Green Revolution Cooling.
