internetse_admin News & Events, Uncategorized
Go Virtual has recently delivered Denmark’s largest Supercomputer to Danish Technical University.
This is to be used for Bioinformatics by the Center for Bioinformatics and Sequencing. In a tender for 40M DKK CBS wanted a Supercomputer that could solve some of the world’s largest Life Science problems.
Data Center Housing Solution:
Go Virtual designed and delivered for hosting the Supercomputer:
- 2x 15m Datacenter containers with state of the art air and liquid cooling
- Each container 2 Expandable containers from DCC
- Guaranteed 10 years warrenty
- Raised floor with two water cooling circuits
- Cold water 10-18 degrees
- Warm-water up to 40 degrees
- 500KW of power capacity
- 500KW of cooling capacity – air and liquid cooling
- In-row cooling racks for air cooled equipment
- State of the art fire extinguishing equipment and sensors to detect any possible problems and leaks.
- First container contains the cluster
- Second container contains the Storage cluster
Supercomputer solution:
With CBS’s specific need Go Virtual designed the following solution:
- Compute Nodes: 540 HP XL230
- 128GB, 2x E5-2683v3 Intel processor each with 14 cores at 2,0 GHz
- Fat Nodes: 27 HP DL560
- 1TB, 4x E5-4610v2 Intel processors each 8 2,3 GHz cores
- Head Nodes: 2 Hewlett Packard DL560 –
1TB, 4x E5-4610v2 Intel processors each 8 2,3 GHz cores and redundant shared storage
- 16048 with a theoretical performance of 548TF #121 on T500
- 96 TB of extremely fast memory in total 569 servers.
-
Cluster Network solution:
With CBS’s requirements in mind GoVirtual designed and delivered following Mellanox Infiniband interconnect solution:
-
Storage Solution
With CBS’s needs for an Enterprise storage solution Go Virtual designed a solution from EMC:

GoVirtual builds the first Bioinformatics Cloud Solution on top of the Cluster:
Meeting CBS’s requirements GoVirtual and HP has designed and are in the process of building a cloud environment on top of the HPC cluster:
- This will enable CBS’s users to share the cluster in the following way:
- The CBS system will have a large larges cluster pool running standard jobs as in a more traditional HPC cluster. But additionally higher level users can purchase and size an environment as sub clusters with CBS’s software tools which will be living on the system as needed. I will be totally logically/physically separated from other users without any overhead of server virtualization. The environment will be flexible in size and can be expanded if needed both on the server and storage side. End users will be accountable for their usage and have to pay for the usage.This Enterprise solution is unique and nothing like this has been built before.
We are pleased to welcome a new colleague Hans Rickardt to our Stockholm office

Here is a short presentation of what his done in the past:
The last 8 years as a solutions architect at HP designing solutions for HPC, Hadoop, High Available Linux Applications, HP-UX, CMU and also database solutions SAP HANA, Vertica and Oracle.
I have been working with Unix/Linux system the last 25 years with focus on performance at Digital/Compaq/HP.
AT HP I have been working together with Go Virtual on large deals therefore it was a natural step to join Go Virtual.
We wish him welcome, and hope he will enjoy working with us.
Two new Go Virtual Systems on Top500
internetse_admin News & Events
The Top500 list was announced in November, 2014, in New Orleans at the Supercomputing conference. Go Virtual has in close collaboration with our customers and partners sold and delivered two new systems during the last six months which have been qualified for the Top500. The new systems are:
Rank 121 – “Computerome” Center for Biological Sequence Analysis – DTU
The system is based on the HP Apollo 6000 XL230a and consists of 540 compute servers providing a Theoretical Peak (Rpeak) of 483.84 TFLOPS.
Rank 383 – Volvo Car Group
The system is based on the HP Cluster Platform 3000 and HP Proliant DL380p and consists of 456 compute servers providing a Theoretical Peak (Rpeak) of 204.3 TFLOPS.

We are pleased to introduce our new colleague Faranggis Bagheri to the software team:
I am a 31 years old female from Iran. I got my B. Sc.’s degree in mechanicalengineering in Iran and continued with the M.Sc.’s degree in the same field in Sweden. I worked around half a year for Epsilon AB as a calculation engineer at transmission group of Scania and then around 3,5 years at FS Dynamics AB as a CFD engineer. At FS Dynamics I had the opportunity to perform CFD simulations for different industries and work with different CFD software programs. I am looking forward to the new challenges in my new roll at GoVirtual.
