Intel Xeon Skylake SP 6148

The compute nodes of Noctua 1 have dual-socket Intel Xeon Skylake SP 6148 CPUs.

Important Properties

SMT (aka. Hyperthreading)

SMT is disabled on Noctua 1.

Instruction Set

The Intel Xeon 6148 (Skylake SP) CPUs can do up to 512-bit SIMD, i.e. AVX512.

NUMA-Domains

Sub-NUMA Clustering (SNC) is disabled on CPUs. That means that there are 2 NUMA domains per node.

Topology

Because SNC is disabled, one CPU socket is a NUMA domain. There are 2 NUMA domains in one compute node.

The layout of a node is:
