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 Virtualization 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 Platform (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.
