Supermicro Demos 290 GFLOPS/kW HPC Solutions
"CRN recently ranked our SuperBlade number one in its latest blade product review, recognizing that SuperBlade is easy to deploy, easy to use, and offers the best price-to-performance and profit potential available," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "This excellent endorsement came right after SuperBlade won the Best Green Data Center Solution award at BladeSystems Insight 2008. Leading power efficiency (up to 93%*), compute density (up to 960 processing cores per 42U rack), performance-per-watt (290GFLOPS/kW*), and 20Gb InfiniBand switch & HCA, make our SuperBlade the perfect choice for HPC applications."
As the industry's most optimized 1U HPC solutions, Supermicro 1U Twin servers support up to 4 processor sockets via two DP nodes in 1U of rack space. This 0.5U density (84 server nodes in a standard 42U rack) combined with optional onboard InfiniBand or 10GbE makes these platforms an excellent choice for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters where space, cost, energy-efficiency and density are high priorities. Supermicro now offers a wide selection of 1U Twin solutions that includes the following server models:
1U Twin SuperServers:
- 6015TW-INF: DP Intel 5400 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 980W and onboard IB
- 6015TW-T: DP Intel 5400 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 980W
- 1025TC-10G: DP Intel 5100 chipset-based, eight 2.5" HD, 780W and onboard 10GbE
- 6015TC-10G: DP Intel 5100 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 780W and onboard1 0GbE
- 1025TC-T: DP Intel 5100 chipset-based, eight 2.5" HD, 780W
- 6015TC-T: DP Intel 5100 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 780W
- 6015T-INF: DP Intel 5000 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 980W and onboard IB
- 6015T-T: DP Intel 5000 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 980W
- 5015TB-10G: UP Intel X48 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 780W and onboard 10GbE
- 5015TB-T:UP Intel X48 chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 780W
- 1021TM-T+: DP nVidia MCP55V-Pro chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 980W
- 1021TM-INF+: DP nVidia MCP55V-Pro chipset-based, four 3.5" HD, 980W and onboard IB
"We are working with Supermicro to deliver a large breadth of optimized multi-core computing and storage servers," said Thad Omura, vice president of product marketing at Mellanox Technologies. "With outstanding InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance, I/O flexibility, and power efficiency, Mellanox ConnectX Virtual Protocol Interconnect accelerated, Supermicro servers and blade servers are ideal for high-performance computing and enterprise applications."
