AMAX Adds Density to ClusterMax SuperG GPGPU System

By DE Editors

AMAX has announced the availability of the new ClusterMax SuperG-B1 GPGPU blade cluster solution for compute-intensive scientific and research deployments. Based on the BladeMax AS-7200G, a high-density 7U 20-GPU blade-based cluster building block, the ClusterMax SuperG-B1 delivers high-density and performance with maximized number of GPUs per 1U rack space, according to the company.

The SuperG-B1 cluster enables up to 120 GPGPUs plus 120 Intel Xeon 5600 series processors to be deployed in a standard 42U rack. Featuring the latest InfiniBand technologies, the cluster is equipped with dual 40Gb/s QDR ports per blade for high interconnect speed and minimal latency. Boasting up to 94% power-efficiency, the company says the platinum-level redundant power supplies fuel computational performance using less power with greater reliability. Managed through a graphical user interface, the SuperG-B1’s throughput is maximized by minimizing system management overhead. 

“The HPC market is always in high demand for more computing performance and we are working hard to surpass technology limitations by continuously introducing denser and faster heterogeneous GPGPU cluster solutions,” says Winston Tang, Product Development Manager for AMAX. “The ClusterMax SuperG-B1 cluster is an amalgamation of the latest high-performance technologies to maximize technical applications.”
