HostEngine 4U computer features Intel® Xeon
with the Intel C612 chipset. HostEngine 4U provides four PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 3.0 x16
expansion slots. Each slot accommodates a full-height, full-length, double-wide GPU or a half-
height, half-length controller such as the Cubix Host Interface Controller (HIC) that connects to
Cubix Xpander products. Each HIC connects to multiple slots within an Xpander Rackmount 8
or other Xpander products.
By connecting HostEngine to GPU-Xpander Rackmount 8, you can add eight double-wide
GPUs such as NVIDIA® Quadro M5000 or M6000 to the HostEngine 4U computer for running
Autodesk® 3ds Max or Bunkspeed® Shot with NVIDIA iray running on Linux or Microsoft®
Windows®. You can also run BlackMagic Design® DaVinci Resolve® for Linux on HostEngine
4U computer. Connecting to Xpander Rackmount 8 also enables you to connect to GPU
Compute Engines such as NVIDIA or AMD GPUs for HPC applications, virtual desktop projects
or multiple Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors for parallel processing.
