SAKURAONE：オープンなEthernetベースAI HPCシステムとLLM開発環境におけるワークロード動態

SAKURAONE is a managed high performance computing (HPC) cluster developed and operated by the SAKURA Internet Research Center. It builds on the KOKARYOKU PHY bare metal GPU platform and is optimized for advanced workloads, including large language model (LLM) training. In ISC 2025 TOP500, SAKURAONE is ranked 49th by HPL and is the only top 100 system that uses a fully open networking stack - 800 GbE with SONiC - demonstrating the scalability of vendor-neutral technology. Measured performance is 33.95 PFLOP/s (HPL Rmax), 396.295 TFLOP/s (HPCG), and 339.86 PFLOP/s on HPL-MxP with FP8. The system consists of 100 nodes, each with eight NVIDIA H100 GPUs and a 2 PB all-flash Lustre file system, interconnected via a rail-optimized 800 GbE leaf-spine fabric with RoCEv2. Through exclusive use by a single research project, we observed the characteristics of development-related jobs. Consistent with previous HPC studies, small-scale jobs dominated in number, while a few large-scale jobs accounted for most GPU resource time. As the project progressed, resource use shifted from large-scale to mid-scale jobs, reflecting a transition from initial large-scale training to iterative refinement. These observations illustrate the real-world utilization dynamics of GPU clusters under unified project workloads.
