NVIDIA And Supermicro Shatter 1U Server Performance Record

If you happen to be in Taiwan attending the Computex show this week, then you might wanna stop by the Supermicro booth to see the new “SuperServer 6016T-GF” system which combines the NVidia Tesla and traditional CPU’s into a single 1U rack.

“Our new Tesla GPU-based SuperServer 6016T-GF Series delivers a much higher performance-per-watt and per-rack than any other 1U solution in the market today,” stated Don Clegg, Vice President of Marketing, Supermicro. “This 2-Teraflop SuperServer meets the most demanding enterprise data center requirements for reliability and manageability.”

A great addendum to our What’s the Big Deal with CUDA & GPGPU Anyway? Article.  A Tesla traditionally offers 4TFlops of power, but by using half a Tesla & Traditional CPU’s, they’ve got a single enclosed 1U solution.
