Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors Released!
We're excited to say that Intel's MIC architecture, a many-core x86 coprocessor, is launching as the Xeon Phi 5110P Coprocessor. Explore the possibilities of a single x86 code base and standard parallel based programming.
Passively cooled Xeon Phi 5110P coprocessors will be shipping soon.
- 60 cores @ 1.053 GHz in a ring architecture
- Over 1 TFLOP double precision floating point performance
- 8 GB GDDR5 memory and 320 GB/sec of memory bandwidth
- 225W TDP and passive cooling for Xeon 5110P
- Compatible with most of our rackmount chassis already designed for GPUs
Intel will also debut an actively cooled model for workstations in Q1 2013. Those considering a Xeon Phi 5110P purchase are urged to place an order soon, as the new cards will be delivered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Intel Makes Many Xeon Phi Software Support Announcements
Microway HPC Tech Tip
Software Support for Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors
Abstract: With Intel's release of the Xeon Phi coprocessor cards, HPC users must ask themselves how much performance they need and how they plan to achieve it. Will resources be devoted towards fast new hardware, re-writing/optimizing software or some balance of the two?
The resurgence of coprocessor and acceleration cards over the last few years has caused many HPC users to re-evaluate their software applications. Supporting a hardware architecture other than traditional x86 CPUs takes some amount of effort. Intel hopes that their Xeon Phi coprocessors, which use x86 cores, will be very attractive.
AMD Opteron 6300 Series Processors (Piledriver Core Architecture)
AMD's latest CPUs offer up to a 15% performance gain over the Opteron 6200 Series. Now available in our 2- and 4-socket Navion WhisperStations, servers and clusters:
- Higher clock speeds than Opteron 6200 Series
- Up to 64 cores per server with 8, 12, or 16 processor cores per socket
- DDR3-1866 memory support in select 2P/4P rackmount configurations
- New support for FMA3, F16c, BMI, and TBM instructions
AMD Opteron systems are an excellent price-performance story for HPC users with parallel codes. A 1U SMP server/compute node with 32 processor cores, 64GB memory and two 1TB enterprise drives is just $4,099! 64 cores for $6,100!
Accelerate your research!
Take advantage of our expertise: we can recommend the most effective compute solutions, help you plan a painless installation, and deliver fully-tested/fully-integrated clusters, servers and workstations.
