SEATTLE, WA — (Marketwire) — 11/14/11 — AMAX, a leader in High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, today announced that it is showcasing its latest, most advanced CPU-based HPC solutions built upon the world-s first 16-core x86 processor, the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors (NYSE: AMD). The new server solutions target HPC, Visualization, and Datacenter users with large scale-out applications, such as Simulation/Modeling, Web/Cloud and Business Analytics, seeking high performance and scalability to accelerate, transform and advance scientific discovery. As real-world, multi-threaded workloads become increasing complex and demanding, users are clamoring for new solutions that deliver a rich mix of performance, scalability and efficiency, precisely what AMAX-s new server solutions are engineered for.
The latest advancements in multi-threaded applications prompted AMAX to design a versatile range of HPC server solutions, optimized for the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors, enabling scientists and researchers to process, analyze and visualize large datasets faster than ever before. The new AMAX servers deliver unprecedented performance for highly-threaded applications though massive, industry-leading core density, and an intelligent modular design featuring up to 33 percent more cores and up to 35 percent greater performance than previous generation high performance solutions. Large compute-intensive data center deployments that crave more core density to handle growing application demands can have up to 160 percent more real cores per server. The new platforms give HPC, financial and business intelligence workloads an extra shot of computational adrenaline with AMD Turbo CORE technology, digitally boosting all cores simultaneously up to 500MHz or up to 1GHz with half the cores active. Technical computing and memory-intensive environments can take advantage of the innovative Northbridge enhancements and 20 percent faster memory to reach unrivaled memory throughput of up to 70GB/s in 2P or 140GB/s in 4P server configurations. The H-class servers are customizable for each unique supercomputing application and designed to suit exact project requirements, from performance and budget, to scalability and power target.
“The AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors bring unparalleled efficiency to processing, power and financial budgets, offering capabilities that are essential to today-s HPC solution platforms,” said Winston Tang, Product Development Manager, AMAX. “The new platform is ideal for customers that want the ability to scale compute capability and performance on demand with massive core density and large-scale memory addressability.”
“The AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors deliver a rich mix of performance and efficiency for today-s highly threaded applications,” said John Fruehe, director of Server Product Marketing, AMD. “AMD and AMAX are addressing the needs of the HPC market by bringing exceptional performance-per-watt and scalability for customers with our new AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors.”
The latest AMAX H-Class servers include:
The 1U, four processor, standard depth server is ideal for high-performance, maximum-density compute deployments. The HA-1402 features up to 64 AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor cores, three 3.5″ hot-swap SATA/SAS drive bays, and C1E power management.
The 2U, four processor, standard depth server features up to 64 AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor cores and additional storage flexibility with onboard 6Gbps SAS/SATA ports, supporting deployments that require faster HDD/SSD cache transfers and RAID functionality.
AMAX will be demonstrating its latest H-Class servers for Supercomputing at SC 2011, which will be held at Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, WA in booth #915, November 13 through 18, 2011. For more information on AMAX products and services, please visit: .
