SAN JOSE, California, March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader in high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage technology and green computing highlights its expansive selection of GPU optimized server solutions at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in San Jose, CA this week. Headlining the show will be Supermicro's newest 4U 8x GPU SuperServer® (SYS-4027GR-TR). This unique high-performance server features innovative airflow optimized architecture with independent cooling zones and side-by-side component layout. This eliminates CPU/GPU preheat, enabling maximum performance and reliability of eight 300W GPUs and dual 150W CPUs. Optimal energy efficiency and power savings is also attained with Supermicro's state-of-the-art power delivery sub-systems featuring redundant 1600W Platinum Level high efficiency (94%) power supplies. This system is the platform behind the new NVIDIA® Iray Visual Computing Appliance (VCA). Unveiled today at GTC, Iray VCA delivers unprecedented rendering speed and performance using eight of NVIDIA's most powerful GPUs for extremely photo-realistic computer models of the highest fidelity. Also highlighted at the show is the new 4U FatTwin™ featuring two side-by-side dual-processor nodes each supporting 6x GPUs and 2x additional PCI-E 3.0 (x8) slots for high bandwidth I/O expansion. These systems along with Supermicro's extensive GPU solution range address compute and graphics intensive applications across diverse fields of HPC, scientific discovery, engineering, enterprise virtualization, 3D/CG visual arts, broadcast media/film and cloud-based gaming.
