Super Micro Computer Inc. has released the 16-core AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor (formerly code-named “Interlagos”) a new entry in high-performance computing (HPC). Supermicro’s A+ SuperBlade solutions feature quad AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor-based blade and its TwinBlade with 20 DP nodes per 7U SuperBlade enclosure. Both SuperBlades deliver 3,840 cores per 42U SuperRack and provide interconnect speed with onboard Mellanox InfiniBand or optional 10GbE networking technology.

For data center, enterprise and cloud applications, Supermicro is displaying various systems providing enhanced performance, flexibility and power efficiency. The 2U A+ Server supports dual AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors on Supermicro’s expandable UIO motherboard with 24 DIMM (up to 256GB of memory), GPU support and a 920W Platinum Level (94%+) high-efficiency power supply.

The 4-node, 2UTwinsupports two 16-core AMD Opteron processors per node with onboard Mellanox InfiniBand and 1620W redundant Platinum Level (94 percent+) high-efficiency power supplies. The 1U system supports a single 16-core processor, PCI-E 2.0 expandability, 4 hot-swap SATA HDDs and a high-efficiency power supply.

Supermicro’s A+ HPC exhibits also include the 4U/Tower server supporting dual AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors and up to three GPUs. This system will demo AMD FirePro graphics. The 4U/Tower configuration packs quad 16-core AMD processors into a system with redundant 1400W Gold Level (93 percent+) high-efficiency power supplies.
