AppliedMicro Collaborates With E4 Computer Engineering on X-Gene(R) Production Platforms and X-Gene 2 Evaluation Platforms
November 16 2015 - 8:00AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC), a global leader
in computing and connectivity solutions, today announced that E4
Computer Engineering, a leading supplier of customized solutions
for high performance computing and enterprise data centers, is
collaborating with AppliedMicro on X-Gene platforms based on
ARMv8-A architecture.
E4 manufactures and markets two types of systems based on the
X-Gene Server-on-a-Chip® solution: a 1U single socket solution and
a 2U single socket, both with support for dual NVIDIA GPUs,
delivering leading-edge performance and power-efficiency suitable
for cost-effective scale-out high-performance computing (HPC)
deployments.
In addition to the current production, EMEA customers that are
interested in testing the upgraded solutions supporting
AppliedMicro's X-Gene 2 processor SoCs, are now able to refer to E4
to request evaluation systems to test their applications.
The jointly engineered ARKA platforms couple the performance and
power-efficiency of X-Gene and are designed to fit accelerators for
intensive HPC workloads.
"Our collaboration with E4 Computer Engineering showcases our
commitment to the European market and the market demand for
X-Gene-based platform solutions. We've been long partners of E4
Computer Engineering and are confident the company will help bring
to the European HPC and enterprise markets high performance, low
power and cost-effective offerings," said Kumar Sankaran, associate
vice president of AppliedMicro.
"We are delighted of this collaboration with AppliedMicro, as it
shows our joint commitment to delivering X-Gene-based solutions for
the scientific community," said Piero Altoè, VP research &
innovation, E4 Computer Engineering. "We also are confident that
the demand for evaluation platforms based on X-Gene 2 will increase
and we foresee plans to manufacture the product in volume."
Said Dr. Andrea Bartolini, Post-Doctoral Researcher, University
of Bologna, "We are working together with E4 to increase the
energy-efficiency of the ARKA family of servers by deploying a
novel energy-aware software stack. 64-bit ARMv8 multicore
processors coupled with powerful GPUs are very promising platforms
for next-generation green supercomputers. Our work is to provide
the users tools to make the most energy-efficient use of these
novel architectures."
The ARKA series, featuring X-Gene's ARMv8-A custom
microarchitecture and InfiniBand, will be demonstrated live at SC15
Austin, TX in the following booths: AppliedMicro (No. 3103) E4
Computer Engineering (No. 189) and ARM (No. 2015).
