  • Page 2: Introduction

    Introduction An increasing number of research institutions and businesses are using high-performance computing (HPC) technology for faster innovation and competitive advantage. HP brings HPC within the reach of more organizations by offering complete supercomputer clusters of purpose-built ProLiant servers with x86 processors.

  • Page 3: Graphics Cards

    HP was the first company to build an industry-standard server with integrated NVIDIA GPGPUs. We shipped our first systems in 2007. We began shipping our second-generation NVIDIA GPGPU- enabled system, the ProLiant SL390s G7 server, in 2010. The SL390s G7 servers are part of the HP ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System.

  • Page 4: Hp Accelerator Qualification Efforts

    HP accelerator qualification efforts At the time of publication, HP has qualified various accelerators and graphics cards to work with 14 ProLiant servers. We design ProLiant servers to meet a variety of conditions, including power, thermals, BIOS, and software. We qualify certain accelerators and graphics cards in select platforms to ensure they work properly.

  • Page 5: Enablement For Hpc In Proliant Servers

    Enablement for HPC in ProLiant servers HP ProLiant servers designed for HPC include the following key design features: High I/O bandwidth High-speed interconnects Highly efficient power and cooling Integrated management using the HP Cluster Management Utility High I/O bandwidth GPGPU-based accelerators use on-board memory to store and process data sets. But most high-end applications still require moving large data and result sets between system memory and the accelerator.

    each with three NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPGPUs, and 34 DL580 G7 servers with two NVIDIA S1070 GPGPUs each. Tsubame 2.0 has a total peak performance of 2.4 PetaFLOPS (floating-point operations per second), making it the fourth-ranked supercomputer in the world on the November 2010 TOP500 list.

  • Page 7: Hp Collaborative Efforts In The Hpc Market

    HP collaborative efforts in the HPC market Our collaborative efforts with hardware vendors and ISVs help to bring HPC capabilities into the reach of more organizations. We collaborate with accelerator and graphics card vendors to help ensure their products work well in HPC cluster environments, as proven by the large number of accelerators we’ve qualified (see Tables 2 and 3).
