How does Delta HPCs NUMA system provide an advantage over my Linux Cluster systems?
Delta HPC utilizes NUMA systems, which have a computer architecture that performs shared memory processing (SMP). SMP allows the memory to be combined so that large numbers of CPUs can access memory simultaneously. One CPU does not wait for another CPU to finish an operation as occurs in commodity Cluster architectures. Delta HPC’s systems have been designed using Cache-coherent Non-uniform memory access (CC-NUMA). A system with CC-NUMA is in fact easier to program because of the aspect of fast access to a combined memory.
