Save time as you create robust Intel® Cluster Ready systems. Intel Cluster Ready reference designs – recipes – provide starting points to help hardware vendors, platform integrators, and system integrators design and build certified Intel Cluster Ready systems.
Recipes provide instructions to get you started configuring Intel® Xeon® processor-based systems into a copy of a certified implementation of the Intel Cluster Ready architecture specification. Use the Intel Cluster Ready specification for guidance as you add components and features that enhance capabilities, differentiate your cluster offerings, and add value for customers.

Get started designing and building Intel Cluster Ready systems. Use the pre-certified reference cluster designs below as a foundation for further development. Or implement them “as is”, without modifications or enhancements.
For additional recipes, go to the Intel® Enabled Solutions Acceleration Alliance (Intel® ESAA) and search on High Performance Computing (HPC).
Intel Cluster Ready recipes are grouped here by Operating System, with newer recipes first. Please note:
- Recipes provide repeatable instructions, but do not include software itself.
- Additional tools and requirements for achieving Intel Cluster Ready certification, including Intel® Cluster Checker, are available to partners of the Intel Cluster Ready program.
- Each new system you create is subject to individual verification and certification to confirm that it follows the Intel Cluster Ready specification.

†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.
