Each 2U Twin system features two hot-plug dual-processor (DP) server nodes and redundant power for high availability. Each computing node features onboard QDR InfiniBand for 40 Gb/s connectivity.

Super Micro Computer is also demonstrating its latest high-performance computing (HPC) server and blade solutions. These solutions,  based on the new AMD SR56xx/SP5100 chipset and optimized for Six-Core AMD Opteron processors, boost performance with PCI Express 2.0 to double I/O throughput and support 40Gb/s QDR InfiniBand for high-bandwidth connectivity.

The company’s range of A+ building block solutions includes both DP and MP servers and workstations in 1U, 2U, 4U, tower, and blade form factors.
