The SuperMUC will have 147,456 cores and a peak performance of about 3 petaflop/s (=1015 FLOPS). The main memory will be 288 terabyte (=1012 bytes) together with 12 petabytes (=1015 bytes) hard disk space based on the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) file system. The hardware will be based on the Xeon architecture . The system will use 18,432 Intel Xeon Sandy Bridge-EP processors running in IBM System x iDataPlex servers. It will also use a new form of cooling that IBM developed, called Aquasar, that uses hot water to cool the processors, a design that should cut cooling electricity usage by 40 percent, IBM claims
