IDT, NVIDIA and Orange Silicon Valley Accelerate Supercomputing

Titled Supercomputing at the Edge, the platform uses IDT's 20 Gbps interconnect technology with a low-latency cluster of NVIDIA Tegra K1 mobile processors. It can support up to 12 teraflops per IU RapidIO server blade and 192 fully programmable CUDA cores.

"By taking mobile low-power GPU technology and connecting it with 100 ns latency RapidIO interconnect, this modular cluster can be deployed to distribute high-performance compute functionality to the edge of the wireless network, where it is most geographically sensitive," said Jag Bolaria of the Linley Group, a consulting and analysis firm. "The innovation paves the path for co-locating real-time deployable analytics in the approximately 2 million base stations deployed annually in wireless networks."
