HAMBURG, Germany, June 24th, 2009, Boston Limited, now in its 17th year as a Pan European distribution partner for silicon valley based Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), today showcase and launch a PSC (Personal Supercomputer) with 960+ cores at ISC'09 (International Super Computing).
The ground breaking Venom T4000 PSC from Boston Limited, provides up to a staggering 4 TFLOPS of computational power and is based on the 7046GT-TRF which is Supermicro's latest workstation platform . In addition to being able to support four double-width GPU cards the system also supports an additional 3 PCI-E add-on controller cards. This further expansion means the already unparalleled performance can be enhanced by adding a double width performance graphics display card and high performance networking or many combinations that use the industry standard PCI-E slot.
"These highly parallel, multi-core, multi-GPU systems represent today's cutting-edge solutions for a wide range of graphics and computationally intensive applications in fields like medical imaging, oil and gas exploration, quantum chemistry, financial simulation, genomics and astrophysics", said Charles Liang CEO and President of Supermicro.
"Our range of Venom T4000 solutions provides a true heterogeneous computational platform that combines the latest developments in GPU and CPU compute technology into a single space optimised platform. The Venom features a multiple x16 non-blocking native Generation 2 PCI-Express architecture which is put to good use in combination with four of nVIDIA's latest Tesla C1060 240 Core GPU cards".
"Our highly optimised system design provides incredible levels of processing performance whilst paying particular attention to power consumption by taking advantage of Supermicro's Gold level (93% efficiency) power sub systems" says Manoj Nayee Managing Director of Boston Limited.
Boston offers bespoke services for specialist applications which includes product design consultancy. Additional services include on-site warranty and financial solutions including leasing.
