HPE DL 380 Gen 10, 26 Core -- Network multiple systems for 78 Simultaneous CPUs

[AdamMartinez]

Using multiple HPE DL 380 (26 cores each) servers (NIB), with RHEL.  

Is it possible to "network" three HPE DL 380s together to be able to use all 78 CPUs on a single job?    If so, please advise.

Hello there, physically there's no way to "network" or link the CPU's, but you may consider a software solution similar to containers.

Since you're using RHEL, maybe OpenShift Container platform will do the trick for you.

Check this Document: HPE REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE FOR RED HAT OPENSHIFT ON HPE PROLIANT DL380 GEN10 AND HPE PROLIANT DL360 GEN10 SERVERS

Thanks for the input and guidance.  I will explore the 'Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform" solution.  A cursory reiew of the document is leading me down a viable path. 

I've been reading about high performance computing (HPC) and Slingshot HPE interconnect as well.

Thanks for the lead.  I will perfrom due dilligence and report back.
