The Validated Design for HPC Digital Manufacturing is designed using preconfigured building blocks. The building block architecture allows an HPC system to be optimally designed for specific end-user requirements, while still making use of standardized, domain-specific system recommendations. The available building blocks are infrastructure servers, storage and networking building blocks. Configuration recommendations are provided for each of the building blocks which provide good performance for typical applications and workloads within the digital manufacturing domain. This section describes the available building blocks, along with the recommended server configurations.
With this flexible building block approach, appropriately-sized HPC clusters can be designed based on individual customer workloads and requirements. Figure 1 shows three example HPC clusters designed using the Validated Design for HPC Digital Manufacturing.
