By DE Editors

Silicon Mechanics now offers the NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPU accelerator as part of its GPU Solutions product line.

The Tesla K40 GPU accelerator is equipped with 12GB of memory, which the company says makes it ideal for big data analytics and largescale scientific computations in such fields as seismic processing;  computational biology and chemistry; weather and climate modeling;  image, video, and signal processing; computational finance;  computational physics; CAE; and CFD.

The NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPU delivers up to 40 percent higher performance compared to the NVIDIA Tesla K20X GPU, and 10 times higher performance than the fastest CPU. Featuring NVIDIA GPU Boost technology, which converts power headroom into a user-controlled performance boost, the accelerator allows users to achieve greater acceleration for various HPC workloads, the company says.
