By: Bright Computing Bright Cluster Manager provisions, monitors and manages the multicore Intel Xeon processors and many-integrated core (MIC) Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors that collectively make up Cherry Creek’s 10,000 cores. Bright also manages Cherry Creek’s interconnect fabric based on low-latency, high-bandwidth Intel Truscale fabric. Additional Bright-managed software includes the Intel Composer XE 2013 compiler, Intel MKL library and Intel MPI. Bright integrates workload-management capabilities so that applications take advantage of the native and offload execution models presented by Cherry Creek’s neo-heterogeneous architecture - a heterogeneous system with a single programming model. Finally, Bright collects metrics and executes health checks to ensure Cherry Creek performs according to its theoretical peak performance of almost 200 TFlops/s. “Cherry Creek presented the opportunity to demonstrate neo-heterogeneous architecture’ “Bright Computing works closely with Intel to support its ecosystem of hardware and software on an ongoing basis,” stated Bright Computing CEO Dr. Matthijs van Leeuwen. “This collaboration raises awareness of both company’s offerings. We are delighted that Bright Cluster Manager accelerated Intel’s efforts, and congratulate them on achieving impressive Top500 and Green500 rankings with Cherry Creek.” Intel Data Center Demos designed Cherry Creek and contracted Supermicro to manufacture it. Cherry Creek ranked 400th on the 42nd edition of the Top500 list based on a Linpack performance of 131.5 TFlop/s. According to Intel: “Within a year after the introduction of Intel's first Many Core Architecture product, Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor- Cherry Creek was present in the Intel booth at SC13.
