The bullx blade chassis can host indifferently 18 single-width compute blades (B500 model), 9 double-width accelerator blades (B5X5 model) or 9 Twin 2-Socket boards double-width Compute server blades (B5X0 model) - or any combination of those three types of blades.

The bullx B520 Compute blade hosts 2 distinct servers called Haswell CPU Board (HCB).

Each Haswell CPU Board contains:

2 high-frequency Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 V3 family processors

Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 V3 processors or Haswell

2 QPI links at 9,6GT/s

A large memory capacity (up to 256GB memory)

Up to 8 DDR3 dimm at 2133MHz

1 InfiniBand (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 or 1 SSD drive
