It’s my understanding that NeoCortex is going to have a petabyte or two of NVME disk sitting in front of it with some HPE hardware and then it’ll utilize the queues and lustre file system on Bridges2 as its front end.
There's more information here: https://www.psc.edu/3206-nsf-funds-neocortex-a-groundbreaking-ai-supercomputer-at-psc-2 # Neocortex will use the HPE Superdome Flex, an extremely powerful, # user-friendly front-end high-performance computing (HPC) solution # for the Cerebras CS-1 servers. This will enable flexible pre- and # post-processing of data flowing in and out of the attached WSEs, # preventing bottlenecks and taking full advantage of the WSE # capability. HPE Superdome Flex will be robustly provisioned with # 24 terabytes of memory, 205 terabytes of high-performance flash # storage, 32 powerful Intel Xeon CPUs, and 24 network interface # cards for 1.2 terabits per second of data bandwidth to each # Cerebras CS-1. The way it reads both of these CS-1's will sit behind that single Flex.
