Intel® Cluster Ready “recipes” are reference designs provided to help hardware vendors, platform integrators, and system integrators design and build certified Intel Cluster Ready systems. Please note, however, that there are additional requirements for achieving Intel Cluster Ready certification, which are only available to partners of the Intel Cluster Ready program, such as the Intel® Cluster Checker.

The recipes below offer an excellent starting point for program partners, though you may add certain components and features to enhance capabilities and add value. Each new system is subject to individual verification and certification as Intel Cluster Ready.

The recipes are grouped by Intel® Server Board Number, with the newest recipe being on top.

Intel® Server Board S5520UR based reference implementations

Intel® Server Board S5400SF based reference implementations

Intel® Server Board X38ML based reference implementations

Intel® Server Board S5000PAL based reference implementations

Intel® Server Board S3000PT based reference implementations

†Indicates the actual number of nodes in the recipe used to certify the reference implementation as Intel® Cluster Ready. The same recipe may be used to scale up to 2N nodes, where N is the number of nodes recorded for the original certified cluster. For example, a certified 32-node recipe means that a 16-node cluster is considered certified, as would any number of nodes from 4 to 64 based on the same recipe. Read more about scaling your certified clusters in the white paper, Mass-Producing Your Certified Cluster Solutions.
