Worldwide First Quad Tesla GPUs Run by PCI-e Gen2 x16 Speed

Through leveraging Quad Tesla GPUs (graphics processing units) on PCI-e Gen2 x16 slots, the ESC1000 is the world’s first such solution to solve complex data-intensive computational problems in a fraction of the time required on a CPU. Users can count on up to 4 CUDA cards (3 Nvidia Tesla Cards and 1 Nvidia Quadro card) for intensive parallel computing on tons of data, which delivers nearly 4 teraflops of performance.

Maximum Computing Cores in ESC1000

With support of up to three Tesla cards and one Quadro FX5800 cards at the same time, the computing cores are 960, plus 8 in CPU (4 cores in latest Intel Nehalem-WS platform, 2 Threads per core), the total computing cores will be 968, which is the No.1 solution for such cores.

Maximum System Performance in one Workstation

The ESC1000 supports the latest and powerful CPU technology featuring Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with a system bus of up to 6.4GT/s and a max bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s. Besides, DDR3 memory with data transfer rate of 1333MHz and up to 24GB capacity meets the higher bandwidth requirements of Quad GPU parallel Computation. Through the whole-system power, the ESC1000 accelerates a variety of scientific simulation and analysis applications in real-time visual rendering.

Optimized Thermal Solution

To make this super computer work in a cool environment, it is built with optimized thermal solution: ASUS Cool & quiet CPU Cooler, as well as onboard heat-pipes. The heat-pipe design effectively directs the heat generated by the chipsets to the heatsink near the back I/O ports - where it can be carried away by existing airflows from the CPU or a bundled optional fan.
