Super Micro Computer, Inc. will showcase its latest FatTwin
platforms at Supercomputing 2012 (SC12) in Salt Lake City, Utah,
November 12-15.
FatTwin provide 8x 3.5" HDDs in 1U, and 12x parallel processing,
double-width GPU/MIC cards in 4U. The platform utilizes a shared
resource power saving architecture with 8cm cooling fans,
optimized airflow and Platinum Level (94%+) power supplies. The
company is making strides across all areas of its platforms from
free-air cooling designs able to operate at up to 47°C ambient
temperatures to expanded deployment of cost-effective Battery
Backup Power (BBP) modules which can replace traditional UPS
systems offering up to 99% energy efficiency for
high-availability applications.
"We have many cutting edge innovations launching simultaneously
for HPC applications at SC12. From our expanding line of FatTwin
SuperServers delivering 16% net power savings to
energy-efficient free-air cooling support for new CPUs, GPUs,
PCI-E based Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors, SSD technology and
wider deployment of high-speed 10GbE and low-latency IB-FDR
network connectivity, Supermicro is raising the performance bar
while reducing our impact on the planet across our entire
product line," said Charles Liang, President and CEO of
Supermicro.
Highlights include Supermicro's new 4U FatTwin featuring 8/4
node front or rear I/O configurations and a new model supporting
up to 12x GPU/MIC based cards in 4U for the most compute
intensive applications. A wide range of X9 SuperServer and
highest compute density SuperBlade solutions support the latest
NVIDIA Kepler K20 GPU and new Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor
technologies offering massive parallel processing power for
scalable, clusterable supercomputing solutions. Supermicro's
SuperBlade solutions feature high speed FDR InfiniBand, 10Gb
Ethernet and FCoE switches. New Hyper-Speed server/4U Tower
solutions targeting HFT and computational finance applications
are optimized for enhanced speed of dual high-performance (150W
TDP) CPUs while maintaining stability and reliability with
intelligent monitoring, custom cooling and board-level failsafe
technology. SuperWorkstations with NVIDIA Maximus certification
combining the industry's highest quantity of GPUs (up to 5x) for
simultaneous, real-time visualization and interactive design
capability in a single workstation. Additional solutions include
a new 3U 12x hot-plug node MicroCloud SuperServer for high
density Cloud computing, Twin architecture based SuperServers
featuring maximum power savings and efficiency with
performance, high-density, high capacity SuperStorage with up to
88x 2.5" hot-swap HDDs in 4U Double-Sided Storage models and
Supermicro's exclusive redundant Battery Backup Power (BBP)
module technology that increases overall power efficiency and
cost savings over traditional UPS systems.
Built on Supermicro's 4-way MP, 2-way DP and single processor UP
X9 motherboard configurations, Supermicro's HPC servers support
Intel Xeon processor E5-4600, E5-2600, E5-2400 product families.
A+ motherboards in MP/DP/UP configurations support the latest
AMD Opteron 6300 series processors. Up to 1TB of memory is
supported with a variety of PCI-E 3.0 configurations, high speed
I/O with 10GbE and InfiniBand FDR onboard and add-on cards
options are also available. With 14U and 42U fully integrated
SuperRack solutions, a lineup of 1Gb and 10Gb top-of-rack
Ethernet switches and remote Data Center management software
(SDCM) suite, Supermicro delivers total supercomputing clusters
ready for the Exascale era. |
