INT2 has completed the installation and integration of the Phenikaa High-Performance Computing system (Phenikaa HPC) for Phenikaa University. The system was officially launched on July 27, 2022.
Phenikaa HPC serves research and development across multiple disciplines at the university, including Artificial Intelligence, Operations Research, Big Data Processing, Computer-Aided Engineering, and Materials Science. The system also supports large-scale computational tasks for teaching, research, and university operations.
The cluster comprises 25 compute nodes plus a management node: 20 CPU-only compute nodes (2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6226R, 32 cores each, 384GB RAM), 4 GPU compute nodes (each with 1 x NVIDIA RTX A5000), and 1 dedicated AI compute node (2 x AMD EPYC 7742, 128 cores, 1TB RAM, 8 x NVIDIA A100 SXM4). Notably, Phenikaa University became the first institution in Vietnam to own an NVIDIA DGX A100 system. All nodes run AlmaLinux 8, with the AI node running DGX OS 5. The system is equipped with a high-speed parallel storage infrastructure for simulation, big data analytics, and AI workloads. The compute fabric uses InfiniBand HDR at 200 Gbps, complemented by a 1 Gbps management network.
