Exxact Introduces New Spectrum Development Workstation Featuring NVIDIA Quadro GP100 and NVLink Technology

March 6, 2017

FREMONT, Calif., March 6 — Exxact Corporation, a leading provider of high performance computing solutions and professional workstation graphics, announced today its planned production of the Spectrum TXN005-0128N Development Workstation. The system, expected to be among the first powered with the newly announced Pascal-based NVIDIA Quadro GP100, features NVIDIA NVLink technology, which scales multiple GPUs for unmatched desktop compute capability and reduced simulation times.

“We are pleased to reveal our Spectrum Development Workstation featuring Quadro GP100 and NVIDIA NVLink technology,” said Jason Chen, Vice President of Exxact Corporation. “The Spectrum TXN005-0128N will utilize multiple Quadro GP100s interconnected via NVLink to provide high-end graphical and compute performance, unified to streamline workflows for engineers, designers, and researchers alike.”

“Artificial intelligence, virtual reality and photorealism are central to today’s most demanding workflows,” said Bob Pette, Vice President of Professional Visualization at NVIDIA. “Equipped with Quadro GP100 GPU technology, the Spectrum Development Workstation will provide an enterprise-grade visual computing platform invaluable to those who require extreme render and compute capabilities for larger datasets.”

The Spectrum TXN005-0128N will feature an Intel Core i7 or Xeon E5-2600/1600 v3/v4 processor and offer the option of either one or two pairs of Quadro GP100 cards interconnected via NVLink to utilize a high-bandwidth, energy-efficient interconnect enabling ultra-fast communication between the GPUs themselves. NVLink technology allows data sharing at rates five to 12 times faster than the traditional PCIe Gen3 interconnect, creating dramatic speed increases in application performance. A pair of Quadro GP100 GPUs in the Spectrum TXN005-0128N will increase the effective memory footprint and scale application performance by enabling GPU-to-GPU data transfers at rates up to 80 GB/s (bidirectional).

Equipped with the latest Quadro GP100 technology, the Spectrum TXN005-0128N will enable engineers, designers, researchers, and artists to:

  • Unify simulation, HPC, rendering and design – A single Quadro GP100 combines unprecedented double precision performance with 16GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM2) so users can conduct simulations during the design process and gather realistic multiphysics simulations faster than ever before. By combining two of the GPUs with NVLink technology, customers can scale to 32GB of HBM2 to create a massive visual computing solution on a single workstation.
  • Explore deep learning – One Quadro GP100 provides more than 20 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point precision computing — making it an ideal development platform to enable deep learning in Windows and Linux environments.
  • Incorporate VR into design and simulation workflows – The “VR Ready” Quadro GP100 has the power to create detailed, lifelike, and immersive environments. Larger, more complex designs can be experienced at scale.
  • Reap the benefits of photorealistic design – Pascal-based Quadro GPUs can render photorealistic images more than 18 times faster than a CPU.
  • Create expansive visual workspaces – Visualize data in high resolution and HDR color on up to four 5K displays.
  • Efficiently run a variety of compute and visualization applications – With single and double precision performance, the Spectrum TXN005-0128N can be used for applications such as: SIMULIA Abasqus/Standard, ANSYS Mechanical, CST STUDIO, ANSYS Workbench, Altair HyperWorks, and Siemens NX SimCenter.

The Quadro GP100 GPU is the most versatile computing powerhouse for professional desktops. Able to deliver more than 5 TFLOPS of double-precision (FP64), 10 TFLOPS of single-precision (FP32), and 20 TFLOPS of half-precision (FP16) performance, the card supports a wide range of compute-intensive workloads flawlessly. It is equipped with 16GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM2), offering one of the industry’s fastest graphics memory currently available (717GB/s peak bandwidth) and making it the ideal platform for latency-sensitive applications that handle large datasets. With 16-bit floating point precision computing, the Quadro GP100 provides double the throughput and reduces storage requirements to enable the training and deployment of larger neural networks.

The Exxact Spectrum TXN005-0128N Development Workstation featuring the Quadro GP100 with NVLink technology is available for order now. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 is also now available from Exxact Corporation. For more information or inquiries, please contact our sales department here.
