Summit or OLCF-4 is a supercomputer being developed by IBM for use at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.[2][3][4] The system will be powered by IBM's POWER9 CPUs and Nvidia Volta GPUs. The system is targeting 150–300 PFLOPS of performance at 10 MW of power.[5] The computer will be finished in 2017, and moved to Oak Ridge in 2018 where it will replace the Titan supercomputer.[6]
Design
Each node will have over half a terabyte of coherent memory (high bandwidth memory + DDR4 SDRAM) which will be addressable by all CPUs and GPUs plus 800GB of non-volatile RAM that can be used as a burst buffer or as extended memory.[7] The Power9 CPUs and Volta GPUs will be connected using NVIDIA's high speed NVLink. This allows for a heterogeneous computing model.[8] To provide a high rate of data throughput, the nodes will be connected in a non-blocking fat-tree topology using a dual-rail Mellanox EDR InfiniBand interconnect for both storage and inter-process communications traffic which delivers both 200Gb/s bandwidth between nodes and in-network computing acceleration for communications frameworks such as MPI and SHMEM/PGAS.
