This server with four CPU sockets can be extended to 8, 12 or 16 CPUs, thus allowing a maximum configuration of up to 128 processor cores and 2 TB shared memory.

The server has developed the S-series, the bull on its own and close cooperation with the French Atomic Energy Authority (CEA), are suitable as a powerful node systems. Is made possible by the processors, the Intel Xeon 7500 series (codenamed Nehalem-EX). On the basis of an extensible processor technology Bull SMP server platform (Symmetric Multi-Processing has created).

SMP servers enable the physical clustering of computing power and memory resources. bullx super node as part of a cluster according to the manufacturer to simplify the often complex structures of a HPC cluster computing by reducing the node by a factor of five, compared with conventional servers. Thus, both the implementation and the management of the cluster is much easier.

Among the possible applications that benefit from it, such as:

• The calculation of lattice models (for climate research, aerospace, automotive, crash simulation and exploration, etc.)
• or to calculate the mechanical properties of complex structures, such as fracture calculation for metal components, or the chemical and physical properties of materials and the behavior of its components at the molecular level.

The S series comprises two models: bullx S6010, ultra high-end computing nodes, and the bullx S6030, service node with a large range of connections and lots of memory options in 3U format. bullx Super Nodes are now available. Aggregation functions for the slide are from the 2nd Half of 2010 to be available.
