Disk space 17 PB local storage
Networks Network type: new Intel Omnipath, 100 Gb/s. MARCONI is the largest Omnipath cluster of the world.
Network topology: Fat-tree 2:1 oversubscription tapering at the level of the core switches only.
Core Switches: 5 x OPA Core Switch “Sawtooth Forest”, 768 ports each.
Edge Switch: 216 OPA Edge Switch “Eldorado Forest”, 48 ports each.
Maximum system configuration: 5(opa) x 768 (ports) x 2 (tapering) → 7680 servers.
Login nodes
 8 login nodes (3 available for regular users). Each one contains 2x Intel Xeon Processor E5-2697 v4 with a clock of 2.30GHz and 128 GB of memory. Login nodes are shared between the three partitions. The three partitions are served by three different PBS servers that must be selected in order to address the required resource.
