Appro HyperPower™ Cluster
- Featuring Intel Xeon CPU and
NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPU computing
technologies
| The amount of raw data
needed to process research
analysis in drug discoveries,
oil and gas exploration, and
computational finance create
a huge demand for computing
power. In addition, the 3D
visualization analysis data
has grown a lot in recent
years moving visualization
centers from the desktop to
GPU clusters. With the need
of performance and memory
capacities, Appro clusters
and supercomputers are ideal
architectures combined with
the latest CPUs and GPU's
based on NVIDIA® Tesla™
computing technologies. It
delivers best performance
at lower cost and fewer systems
than standard CPU-only clusters.
With 240-processor |
|
computing core per GPU, C-language
development environment for the
GPU, a suite of developer tools
as well as the world’s largest
GPU computing ISV development community,
the Appro HyperPower GPU clusters
allow scientific and technical professionals
the opportunity to test and experiment
their ability to develop applications
faster and to deploy them across
multiple generations of processors.
The Appro HyperPower cluster features
high density 1U servers based on
Intel® Xeon® processors
and NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPU
cards onboard. It also includes
interconnect switches for node-to-node
communication, master node, and
clustering software all integrated
in a 42U standard rack configuration.
It supports up to 304 CPU cores
and 18,240 GPU cores with up to
78TF single/6.56 TF double precision
GPU performance. By using fewer
systems than standard CPU-only clusters,
the HyperPower delivers more computing
power in an ultra dense architecture
at a lower cost.
In addition, the Appro HyperPower
cluster gives customers a choice
of configurations with open-source
commercially supported cluster
management solutions that can
easily be tested and pre-integrated
as a part of a complete package
to include HPC professional services
and support.
Ideal Environment:
Ideal solution for small
and medium size HPC Deployments.
The target markets are Government,
Research Labs, Universities and
vertical industries such as Oil
and Gas, Financial and Bioinformatics
where the most computationally-intensive
applications are needed.
