The Teide HPC (High Performance Computing) infrastructure constitutes a fundamental piece of the ALiX project for the implementation of infrastructures aimed at creating an industrial fabric around Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) in Tenerife.
The Teide supercomputer is one of the most powerful in Spain, offers researchers, companies of the Tenerife Science and Technology Park, and the University of La Laguna, a means of high processing capacity, to improve and expand the national and international scope of the investigations. It is also present in the top500 list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, occupying position 138 on the list of November 2013.
The Teide supercomputer is a general-purpose, high-performance computing infrastructure. Managed at ITER, the Teide supercomputer is housed in the D-ALiX datacenter and provided with high-availability electrical and cooling infrastructure, and high-speed internet connectivity.
Cluster description#
The following diagram describes how the cluster is structured.
Compute nodes#
TeideHPC has these types of computing platforms.

| GPU | 4 | Icelake | 2 X Intel Xeon Gold 6338 32C | 64 | 256 GB | 8 Nvidia T4 |
Storage#
-
NetApp storage with a net capacity of 2.6 Peta Bytes, configured in a cluster format with all redundant elements to face possible hardware failures, with spare disks according to best practices, these being global.
-
Lustre parallel storage will also be available for applications requiring a high number of I/O operations.
Net#
Teide-HPC has a network topology where four specific purpose networks are defined.
- Dedicated storage network.
- Dedicated management network.
- Out of band net.
- 100Gbps Infiniband EDR low latency network for computing.
As security measures, TeideHPC has IPSec tunnels, VPN connections and the possibility of establishing private VLANs for its clients.
Connectivity#
TeideHPC connects to internet through RedIris, the Spanish Academic and Research Network, with a 10 Gb link. It also has connectivity through the ALiX project with another spanish provider.
For data transfers, there are transfer nodes that allow large amounts of data to be copied to user space by directly accessing the data backbone.
