NextComputing Releases Nucleus GP

By DE Editors

NextComputing released the Nucleus GP, a small form-factor, mini-tower workstation optimized for GP-GPU computing (General-Purpose computation on Graphics Processing Units). The compact desktop supercomputer provides dense GPU processing, as well as traditional CPU processing, memory, and high-speed storage in a small form factor. According to the company, the workstation ideal for space-limited environments or for transporting systems among different locations such as large research facilities.

The workstation can be used in situations where access to a cluster is not possible, and where traditional workstations are not practical. For example, research labs with multiple departments spread among different buildings may benefit from a GPU-enabled system that is more easily transported.

The Nucleus GP features support for up to three dual-wide PCI Express 2.0 x16 GPUs such as NVIDIA Tesla C-class GPU computing processors or AMD FireStream compute accelerators; Quad- or Six-Core Intel Xeon or Core i7 processor, up to 3.06 GHz; up to 24GB DDR3 1333 MHz memory; up to (14) 2.5 SATA or SAS hard drives or SATA SSDs, depending on configuration; 1300W power supply redundant 2+1 hot-swappable power supply module.
