Supermicro(R) Highlights its 1U 4x GPU SuperServer, 2U TwinPro, 3U MicroBlade and 7U SuperBlade(R) Solutions for Exploration Geophysics at SEG 2015

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader in high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage technology and green computing highlights its 1U 4x GPU SuperServer, 2U TwinPro™, SuperBlade® and MicroBlade solution this week at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists International Exhibition in New Orleans, Louisiana. Supermicro’s latest 1U 4x GPU SuperServer® (SYS-1028GQ-TR/-TRT) maximizes performance and extreme GPU density with pioneering non-preheat GPU architecture and PCI-E direct connect (no extension cables, re-drivers, or bridge chips). The 2U dual node TwinPro architecture features dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 processors is the optimal solution for CPU compute-based performance, density and scalability. The 7U 30 GPU SuperBlade®, available with three GPU optimized blade configurations, allows for up to 180 NVIDIA® Tesla® GPUs or 120 Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessors + 120 Intel® Xeon processors per 42U Rack. Supermicro’s 3U/6U MicroBlade offers extreme dense configurations of up to 28x MicroBlade modules each supporting dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3, or single Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v3/v4, or 4th gen Core i3, or four Intel® Atom™ C2750/C2550 processor nodes per hot-swap blade server.

“Supermicro’s 1U 4x GPU with cooling optimized non-preheat GPU architecture delivers exactly the best performance and extreme density for high-performance geo-scientific researchers and analysis,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “With Supermicro’s GPU enabled solutions, 2U TwinPro, 7U SuperBlade and high-density 3U MicroBlade solutions offering unrivaled range of configurability, performance, density and scalability, Geophysicists are enabled with the most powerful, flexible compute platforms for geosciences to explore and protect our Mother Earth.”
