Supermicro Creates Dual GPU, 1U Server Architecture


SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


     World's Fastest Non-Blocking PCI-E Gen2 GPU Product Line to be Unveiled


     Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in

application-optimized, high performance server solutions, announced today

that it has designed a new, non-blocking architecture for 1U multi-GPU

(graphics processing unit) systems. Supermicro is rolling out an entire

family of GPU systems, starting with a 1U server that integrates two

enterprise-class GPUs as well as 2U/4-GPU and 4U/4-GPU models. Strategic

customer sampling is beginning now with production expected in early June.


    "To address the requirements for this emerging high-performance,

highly-parallel computing segment, Supermicro has developed the world's first

truly optimized GPU servers," said Charles Liang, CEO and President of

Supermicro. "Advancements such as multiple x16 non-blocking native Gen2

PCI-Express connectivity, highly reliable thermal optimization, and

industry-leading power efficiency establish Supermicro as a global IT

hardware leader in architecture, performance and green computing. These

platforms feature new Gold level (93% efficiency) power subsystems and

deliver breakthrough performance-per-watt."


    This new family of highly parallel, multi-core, multi-GPU systems is an

exceptional choice for a wide range of graphics and computationally intensive

applications in fields like medical imaging, oil and gas exploration, quantum

chemistry, financial simulation, 3D ultrasound and astrophysics. In general,

these systems are expected to make the fastest teraflop clusters much more

affordable and accessible for researchers throughout the world.
