CoolIT Systems and Supermicro Power Intel's Top500 Cluster at SC '13!

Congratulations to Boston partner's Supermicro and CoolIT Systems who's innovative hardware has enabled Intel? to deploy a High Performance Compute cluster that has ranked 400th on the Top500 list of Supercomputers in the world!

The impressive cluster, running live on Intel's booth at SC '13 (booth #2701) and based on Supermicro's ultra-dense FatTwin server platform and CoolIT's Direct Contact Liquid Cooling (DCLC) technology, features 9936 cores reaching 131.2 Teraflops. Perhaps even more impressive is that the system only consumed a total of 74.25kW of power! Each SuperMicro FatTwin node features dual Intel® Xeon® Processors and three Intel Xeon Phi® coprocessors, resulting in over a kilowatt of heat per node for CoolIT to manage.

Boston have been working with both Supermicro and CoolIT at this year's SC '13, where they are demonstrating both the liquid-cooled eight-node FatTwin and the liquid-cooled Boston Venom 2402-0T - based on Supermicro's Hyper-Speed technology.

If you're at the Colorado Convention Centre in Denver this week, pop over to stand #441 and see the liquid-cooled HPC solutions of the future for yourself!
