Milpitas, CA - 08/06/2007 - Appro (http://www.appro.com), a leading
provider of high-performance enterprise computing systems will showcase cluster
technology demonstrations at the LinuxWorld show in San Francisco, CA, August
7-9 at the Appro booth # 634 and the AMD booth # 815.
Appro will demonstrate the latest in multi-core processing capabilities such
as Dual and Quad-Core Intel Xeon® processors and Dual-Core AMD OpteronTM
processors, as well as the upcoming third generation, Quad-Core AMD OpteronTM
processors. Attendees will learn how advancement in speed provided by multi-core
processors, memory, power and I/O technologies delivered by a validated optimized
platform improves total cost of ownership to HPC users. In addition, Appro will
give a 15 minute booth presentation on "The Road to 100 teraFLOPs: Building
World-Class Supercomputers on Scalable Unit Concept" - Case Study
based on cluster implementations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories.
Product Demonstrations:
Appro will show a functional demonstration of Xen virtualization with SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10. The Xen Virtualization software will be running on a 1U,
two socket XtremeServer featuring two Quad-Core Opteron processors 2000 series
with AMD VirtualizationTM Technology. The Xen virtualization demo will
highlight the improvement of the CPU and memory performance on the server running
on Linux.
Appro will showcase a functional demo of the 4P XtremeWorkstation based on
Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processors 8000 series running Modviz's Virtual
Graphics PlatformTM (VGP) delivering unprecedented 3D performance and memory
scalability. This demo will show the real-time optimization and parallelization
of Open GL, high speed image composition and pixel accurate results as well
as high performance shared memory graphics for Team Room and Visualization Center.
Appro XtremeWorkstation is in the finalist for LinuxWorld Product Excellence
Awards under "Best Hardware Solution".
Appro will also run a demonstration on the 1U, 4-socket XtremeServer based
on AMD Dual-Core Opteron Processors 8000 series featuring Cutting-Edge Torrenza
Technology. This demo will feature performance numbers by using high performance,
high-bandwidth, low-latency based on Celoxica's software programming and
HTX FPGA based accelerator card to accelerate seismic modeling and data processing
applications.
In addition, Appro will run a demonstration on two 1U Appro Dual Socket HyperServer
cluster nodes based on the Intel Xeon processor 5300 series for a total of 16
cores. These nodes are connected with two 10 Gbps dual-port Mellanox PCIe InfiniBand
Adapters running Platform Computing Open Cluster Stack. This cluster demo provides
easy, fast and effective workload management, offering MPI Optimization Strategies
for Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors.
