Featuring the Appro HyperBlade based on Intel Server board S3000PT

Appro HyperBlade server supports the Intel® Xeon® processors 3000 and 3200 series targeted for HPC only. These servers offer two boards per chassis nearly cutting the chassis and rack infrastructure cost in half. This cost-effective blade server delivers essential server-class features to reduce size, cost, power consumption and complexity. In addition it offers a small form factor board for high performance and high density computing applications enabling greatest system-level innovation. The two socket HyperBlade server solution features one PCI-Express x8 slot enabling added I/O such as GbE, Infiniband, SAS RAID cards with 4 DIMM slots (maximum 8GB) of DDR2 533/667 memory. It delivers maximum flexibility, high-performance and value. To learn more, click here

White Papers, Webcast and Solution Brief

1. Is your HPC Cluster Ready for Multi-core?

The evolution to multi-core processors provides a unique set of challenges and opportunities for the High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster sector. While multiple cores mean more computing power within the same space and power signature, the fundamental changes in processor architecture make efficient use of these processors a bit more challenging than previous designs. Clusters have reshaped the HPC landscape and are almost always the preferred platform on which to achieve the best price to performance in a given application domain. This white paper provides a first look at utilizing multi-core processors within HPC clusters and contains recommendations for achieving good performance on multi-core systems.

2. Petascale -High Performance Computing for Oil and Gas Market

This IT Executive Briefing is based on the Appro’s Executive IT Geoscience’s Seminar held October 2006, in New Orleans. This document discusses the Analytical Needs of Exploration Geophysics. It also discusses how to address those needs by applying High Performance computing capabilities to the particular issues of seismic processing, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and large, complex reservoirs.
Intel®, along with APPRO, LLNL, Schlumberger, Landmark, Paradigm, and a host of other companies, works with a client company's proprietary software to increase processing power, memory capacity and bandwidth capabilities to address these major issues in exploration geophysics.

3. Maximizing High Performance Computing with Multi-Core Technologies
Numerous factors are driving the high-performance computing (HPC) cluster market, such as the accelerated adoption of Linux, increased use of 64-bit applications, and fast interconnect technologies like InfiniBand. But no factor is having as much effect on HPC as the advent of multi-core processors, which hold much promise in increased computer performance, lower power consumption requirements, decreased cooling costs, and lower TCO.
