AMAX Launches New High Performance GPU Solutions

Delivering Supercomputing Power to Standard, CPU-based server clusters

Fremont, CA – July 21, 2008.  AMAX, the # 1 server and storage system builder in North America, launches a new series of dedicated, high performance Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) solutions. AMAX’s Tesla HPC GPU solutions bring supercomputing power to any workstation or server and to standard, CPU-based server clusters, transforming today's workstations or servers into "personal supercomputers" and large scale server clusters.

AMAX’s Tesla HPC GPU solutions deliver the computing power previously available only from supercomputers to scientists, engineers and other technical professionals. It arms them with extraordinary computational power to accurately complete computing tasks and challenges that previously took hours or days and weeks of processing time. It also enables the necessary transition to energy efficient parallel computing power, with simplified application development.

Additional features of AMAX’s Tesla HPC GPU solutions include:

• Industry's first massively multi-threaded architecture with a 128-processor or 240-processor computing core
• High performance Petascale computing systems
• Many-core architecture delivers optimum scaling across HPC applications
• High-efficiency computing platform for energy-conscious organizations
• NVIDIA CUDA™ technology unlocks the power of Tesla many-core computing products
• A suite of developer tools (C-compiler, debugger, performance profiler, optimized libraries)
• Largest ISV development community for GPU Computing applications
• Seamlessly fit into existing HPC environments

"AMAX is proud to be working closely with technology partners such as NVIDIA to deliver best-in-class, high performance GPU supercomputing solutions that address customers' most demanding HPC application and I/O requirements," said Jean Shih, President of AMAX. “Our Tesla platform dramatically reducing computation times from weeks and months to hours and minutes. It represents one of the most significant product introduction the high-performance computing industry."

AMAX’s Tesla HPC GPU delivers massive processing power for HPC fields such as geosciences, molecular biology, and medical diagnostics, enabling timely discoveries that transform billions of lives every day. Tesla also enables universities, research institutions, and companies in these and other fields to complete exponentially complex simulation models much quicker than before.
