Supermicro Tops $2 Billion in Cumulative Revenue

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 8 -- Super Micro Computer, Inc., a leader in application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced that the company has surpassed the $2 billion milestone in cumulative sales revenue since it was founded in 1993. Supermicro's annual growth rate during the last five fiscal years was several times faster than the server industry growth rate, as the company has consistently posted double-digit growth figures year after year.

"With our annual run rate now over $0.5 billion, we are squarely focused on our next milestone of $1 billion in annual revenue," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "As the technology leader in performance-per-watt (up to 290 GFLOPS/kW) server solutions, Supermicro has never been stronger than it is today. With a 57 percent growth in R&D manpower over the last 12 months now in place, we are offering the strongest product lineup in our history. As a result of this worldwide infrastructure growth, Supermicro is quickly increasing its business with Fortune Global 100 companies."

The company's impressive track record of 14 consecutive years of profitability and consistent growth can be attributed to Supermicro's Server Building Block Solutions, its dedicated and talented engineering teams, the visionary leadership of Supermicro management as well as the close customer and partner relationships that the company continues to build and nurture.

Furthermore, as the chair of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI) APAC region, Supermicro is strongly committed to the CSCI mission to reduce worldwide computer power consumption by 50 percent by 2010. As a leader in green server technology, Supermicro offers up to 93 percent* efficiency power supplies, high-efficiency cooling designs, low-voltage memory support, and high-efficiency voltage regulator modules (VRMs) to help customers minimize their total cost of ownership (TCO).

Revaluating FPGAs for 64-bit Floating-Point Calculations

We now have generally available 2.5 GHz quad-core Opterons and Virtex-5 LX330, SX95T and recently announced SX240T FPGAs. In addition to this, Xilinx is releasing a new version of their floating-point cores that reduces the amount of logic and DSP slices needed for building floating-point function units. Taken together it is time to revisit Opteron floating-point performance versus FPGA performance.
