July 13 2015 - 2:00AM
X-Gene Processors Coupled With Next Generation
Technology From NVIDIA and Mellanox Enable New Levels of
Performance and Power Efficiency
SUNNYVALE, Calif.,
July 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Micro Circuits
Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC), a global leader in computing and
connectivity solutions, and E4 Computer Engineering, a leading
supplier of customized solutions for high performance computing and
enterprise data centers, today announced the newest generation of
the ARKA RK003 platform based on AppliedMicro's X-Gene®, the
industry's only production 64-bit ARM server processor.
The new ARKA RK003 platform combines the performance and
power-efficiency of the X-Gene 64-bit ARM processor with an
upgraded NVIDIA Tesla® K40 GPU compute engine and the high
performance Mellanox® Technologies ConnectX®-3 FDR 56Gb/s
InfiniBand adapter.
"The new Tesla K40-based platform not only delivers higher
performance, but also increased power efficiency which is a perfect
complement to the low power X-Gene processor architecture," said
Piero Altoè, vice president, research & innovation, E4 Computer
Engineering. "The ARKA RK003 platform delivers leading-edge
performance with innovative use of technologies that do not
compromise total cost of ownership (TCO)."
"The ARKA RK003 is an excellent platform to deliver the benefits of
X-Gene processors coupled with GPU accelerated compute in High
Performance Computing environments," said John Williams, vice
president of marketing at AppliedMicro. "The performance and
power-efficiency of X-Gene processors combined with a robust
ecosystem of Linux operating systems, libraries, compilers, and
applications make it an excellent choice for cost-effective
scale-out HPC computing deployments."
"The latest ARKA RK003 platform with the performance of FDR 56/Gb/s
InfiniBand technology and the power efficiency of X-Gene ARM
processors enables a leading solution for both high-performance
computing and enterprise environments," said Gilad Shainer, vice
president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies. "This combination
of best-in-class technologies ensures not only high performance,
but maximized return-on-investment."
The new ARKA RK003 platform is available today and is currently on
display at the annual ISC High Performance 2015 Conference taking
place this week in Frankfurt, Germany. Show attendees can see the
platform at both E4 Computer Engineering in booth no. 914 and
AppliedMicro in booth no. 1431.
