SLATE can operate with various hardware configurations. Below are known configurations that the SLATE project has tested and validated for a SLATE cluster node.
Configuration | Vendor | Sockets/Cores/Threads | DRAM (GiB) | NICs | Storage | Year | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Capacity | Performance | Boot/Other | ||||||
SLATE Reference | Dell | 2S/24C/48T | 384GB | 2x10 Gbps | 8x8TB | 1.6TB NVMe | 2x16GB microSD | 2018 |
ATLAS Tier 2 | Dell | 2S/16C/32T | 192GB | 2x10 Gbps | 12x12TB | 4x2TB M.2 | BOSS Controller 240GB M.2 | 2019 |
The reference platform includes dedicated network measurement hardware (a PerfSONAR node) and an out-of-band management node that is able to bootstrap a SLATE cluster.
