Parallel Performance – Intel Xeon Phi Systems

Posted on February 2, 2017 by Rachel B

Today’s high performance computing applications are becoming as resource-intensive and complex as they are diverse. Across disciplines such as Earth Sciences, Financial Services, Physics, and Machine Learning, demands for CPU power and memory bandwidth have increased exponentially. Within this set of workloads a common component is the need for highly parallel processing to maximize performance. However,…

Density and intelligence need not be mutually exclusive. For instance, take the Pogo Linux J4600S storage enclosure. With this solution, an IT admin can decrease both their storage footprint and their power consumption — saving precious power and rack space in the data center. Using a combination of an advanced JBOD design and HGST Ultrastar® drives, the…

Configure your Pogo Linux NVMe Server

For maximum IOPS and minimum latency without a ridiculous power bill, it’s time for a better host controller interface to your flash storage! Thanks to the NVMe™ (Non-Volatile Memory express) specification, flash devices can now use the speed and bandwidth of a PCIe connection, without incurring the overhead of emulating a SAS interface. The I/O…

NVIDIA Titan X with Pascal

NVIDIA has recently introduced the new TITAN X™, the biggest and most advanced GPU ever built. Blaise Pascal said, “Imagination decides everything.” This certainly applies to the hardware engineering team at NVIDIA. Not content with the already “irresponsible amount of performance” of their GTX 1080, they imagined breaking the 10 teraflops barrier for computing on a single chip….

Twin Servers from Pogo Linux - Density is your destiny

Hello, McFly! It’s not 1985 any more. Rack space at the data center is expensive. Not only that, system power consumption is always a concern. System density is more important than ever. Pogo has the solution: Deploy twin servers! Two heads are better than one, right? Iris 4882 This is heavy, Doc. The Iris 4882 shoehorns eight…
