Kodiak Data AMD EPYC Private Cloud Cluster

[Patrick]

Building an EPYC cluster for a piece we are doing on a private cloud solution from Kodiak Data. Small POC that fits into a single 2U box with 4x dual AMD EPYC nodes.
Here are two of the nodes. 40GbE or faster is required.
Starting off with 3x nodes for initial terraforming:


More to come.

176 cores / 352 threads in 3/4 of the 2U chassis running CentOS 7.4. Ready to start terraforming.

sweet.. 176 cores ?? 176/32 = 5.5 cpus ?

edit: oh thought you had all AMD EPYC 7501s

@Patrick This looks amazing.

I am kind of interested to see what some of your terraform code looks like, now that I am using it exclusively at my current job.

Just
I think we have all of the 32 and 24 core SKUs online in 2p configs right, now plus a few 1p configs.

Hoping by next week to have all 16C 2P models online as well.

@RandyC not my code. DemoEval setup. I just provide the facilities

some of us play with legos @Patrick plays with big boy legos -- looking forward to the write up. As much as you can disclose how is the DemoEval thing working out?
