Supermicro New Zealand
HPC in a box with GP-GPU
27 September 2012
This month we introduce a recent addition to our solutions lineup. It is a new class of servers (or desktops) that combines massively parallel GPUs (General Purpose GPUs) with multicore CPUs in a single system. This configuration delivers performance at least an order of magnitude better than traditional 4 or 6-core CPU servers. This breakthrough technology immediately provides users with the ability to implement tasks that were traditionally addressed only with massive supercomputers or that were simply unsolvable. CUDA is one parallel computing platform that enables this performance leap; it is a programming model invented by
NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by
harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). The easiest way to harness the performance of the GP-GPU is with their CUDA
Toolkit, which provides a comprehensive development environment for C
and C++ developers.
Our selected system model for the New Zealand market is based on Dual Socket Xeon E5-2600 series processors and provides up to 4 Tesla GPU cards. It is housed in a pedestal tower case which can be mounted as a 4U chassis as an
option.
Other features include Redundant 80 PLUS Platinum certified power supplies, Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet, SATA 6Gbps ports for SSD drives and a dedicated RJ45 network port for remote management using IPMI 2.0 with KVM and Virtual Media.
Our team will fully integrate and test the machine to customer
specification before delivery. Please feel free to contact us for further information.
