H2 ECSs are designed to meet high-end computational needs, such as molecular modeling and computational fluid dynamics. In addition to the substantial CPU power, the H2 ECSs offer diverse options for low-latency RDMA networking using EDR InfiniBand NICs to support memory-intensive computational requirements.
HL1 ECSs are the second generation of high-computing ECSs, featuring large memory capacity. They are interconnected with each other using 100 Gbit/s RDMA InfiniBand NICs and support 56 Gbit/s shared high I/O storage.

H2 and HL1: High-performance computing (HPC), big data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
H2 and HL1 ECSs provide computing capabilities for clusters with a large memory, good connectivity between nodes, and high storage I/O. The typical application scenarios include HPC, big data, and AI. In HPC solution, HL1 ECSs are perfectly suited for the Lustre parallel distributed file system, generally used for large-scale cluster computing.
For example, in HPC scenario, H2 ECSs can be used as compute nodes, and HL1 ECSs can be used as storage nodes.
High-performance computing ECSs have the following features:
High I/O (performance-optimized I)
Ultra-high I/O (latency-optimized)
To support 56 Gbit/s shared high I/O storage, you only need to attach high I/O (performance-optimized I) or ultra-high I/O (latency-optimized) EVS disks to target HL1 ECSs.
