1,350 times greater heat rejection capacity by volume than air; keeping components cooler and providing greater reliability and sustained optimal performance. Boston will also be exhibiting its latest
generation of SuperFlex Blade solutions, powered by HPC Links’ latest Vertex software. Vertex (Virtual Execution of Resource Tagged Executables) is an HPC system architecture for commodity platforms to deliver supercomputer-class performance. It enables the scalability of hundreds of thousands of standardised commodity components with a virtual execution environment that makes compute node execution transparent to applications running on the control nodes (Vertex nodes), providing a usable and scalable environment from personal supercomputers to exascale-class clusters of super-nodes.

Gnodal has developed an ultra-low latency 10/40 GbE switch family, free from
current network limitations, offering unprecedented performance improvements and almost unlimited scalability. Gnodal switch products derive their performance from their architectural design, which minimises network congestion and delivers optimum performance, with minimal cost and power consumption. When multiple switch products are
combined, the latency increase across multiple switch units is minimised and full congestion management is maintained and the overall administration of the switch infrastructure is simplified. This allows Gnodal Ethernet to extend the capabilities of the Ethernet standard into highly-scalable configurations with minimal complexity,
offering an overall more efficient use of capital equipment in the data centre. Gnodal products fulfill today’s high-performance requirements in such markets as science and engineering, financial services, Web 2.0, cloud and hosting providers, video, life sciences, and oil and gas exploration.

NextIO will be featuring its
recently
updated vCORE Extreme GPU consolidation
appliance. Now with the ability to deliver the Nvidia M2090 GPUs, the vCORE Extreme is a data centre-class GPU consolidation solution specifically designed to maximise density for the Tesla Fermi M-Class GPUs. A 3U box that supports up to 16 GPUs, vCORE Extreme 2090 enables customers to run GPUs outside of their servers providing denser server configurations, easier lifecycle management and a lower overall cost of ownership. The vCORE Extreme 2090 is the ideal solution for real-world applications such as seismic processing, biochemistry simulations, weather and climate modelling, signal processing, computational finance, CAE, CFD, and data analysis.
