immediately after the Big Bang, allowing matter to survive and build the Universe in the form in which it is known today.
For the experiment LHCb were obtained indicators I / o and memory with AMD EPYC. A large number of CPU cores AMD EPYC allowed fast processing of the data, and 128 PCI
Express 4.0 advantage. In the framework of LHCb was used four 200Gbit adapter Mellanox InfiniBand and AMD EPYC 7742 c 64 cores enabled devices Mellanox in each server to work without delay. “With CPU AMD EPYC we have the opportunity to support
level more terabytes of data per second for days. To achieve this with a single server and not to use the supercomputer, as we did earlier – this is serious progress,” says Nico
Neufeld (Niko Neufeld), project Manager LHCb Online Computing at CERN.
