ASUS builds large-scale GPU supercomputing center

Recently, Asustek Computer, the world's leading provider of 3C solutions, cooperated with the National High Speed ​​Network and Computing Center (referred to as the State Grid Center) under the National Taiwan Research Institute of Taiwan to build the largest GPU supercomputer center in Taiwan. The supercomputer center will participate in this year. The HPC rating of the global TOP500 and Green500 at the end of the year. ASUS GPU server products provide single-machine high-floating-point computing capability and near-extreme energy efficiency, providing academic and industrial computing power, saving significant research time and research personnel.

Excellent performance and system integration to meet the National Center design and specifications
The State Grid Center is Taiwan's most advanced research institute for high-speed computing and network services. It provides integrated services such as high-quality networks, high-speed computing, and scientific engineering simulation and data storage. It has stringent requirements for the performance of server products. The ASUS ESC4000 cluster-class GPU supercomputer provides double-precision floating-point performance of 50 TeraFLOPS (50 megabytes per second) or more with less than half the cost and power consumption compared to a pure CPU system, thanks to its superior CPU and GPU computing. Performance has become the final choice of the State Grid Center.

Asustek's next-generation ESC4000 server is the world's first 2U server supporting the Intel® Xeon® 5600 series processor, with 8+1 PCI-E slot expansion capability and support for four Nvidia® TeslaTM M20 series parallel computing cards. With ASUS Smart Cooling System, the ESC4000 achieves the best efficiency of double-precision floating-point operations. And the system can provide double-precision floating-point computation performance of more than 50 megabytes per second at a cost and power loss of less than half in a 2 square meter space.

The Star of the Future CPU + GPU hybrid computing is unmatched

The high-performance super-computing system built by ASUS and the Taiwan State Grid Center has built-in 88 computing nodes. Each node contains two Xeon® X5670 processors and three TeslaTM M2070 parallel computing cards. It is expected that the system will Over 50 TeraFLOPS floating point performance. It can be applied in the fields of seismic analysis, meteorology, biomedicine and aeronautics to achieve the ultimate embodiment of efficiency and energy saving.

ASUS vice chairman Zeng Shengsheng said: The State Grid Center is the supreme hall for Taiwan's supercomputing operations. Asus is backed by strong research and development capabilities to build a super-computing center with the best efficiency and contributes to the development of science. Highly affirmed.
