The bullx blade chassis can host indifferently 18 single-width compute blades (B500 model), 9 double-width accelerator blades (B505 model) or 9 Twin 2-Socket boards double-width Compute server blades (B510 model) - or any combination of those three types of blades.

The bullx B510 Compute blade hosts 2 distinct servers called SandyBridge CPU Board (SCB).

Each SandyBridge CPU Board contains:

2 high-frequency Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 family processors

Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 processors or SandyBridge (up to 8 cores at 2.9GHz)

2 QPI links at 8GT/s

A large memory capacity (up to 64GB memory)

Up to 8 DDR3 dimm at 1600MHz

1 InfiniBand (QDR link - ConnectX-2 or FDR link - ConnectX-3)

1Gb dual port Ethernet controller for the links to CMM and ESM
1 Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)

1 SATA disk (2.5", 80/120/250 GB) or 1 SSD drive (2.5"- 120 GB)
