For domestic users, personal desktop supercomputers are no longer a dream. On the occasion of the 0/0 anniversary of workstation business/kloc-,Founder Technology announced that it would launch a high-performance workstation with super computing power in China market. Its latest flagship model, Meilun 3400 2800, provides powerful graphics processing and high-performance computing solutions. It adopts a brand-new Intel Xeon processor and is equipped with a new generation of NVIDIA Tesla GPU, which can realize high-performance GPU supercomputing, thus transforming the workstation into a desktop supercomputer to meet the high-performance computing needs of professional users.
For domestic users, GPU (graphics processor) is no stranger, but it may not be familiar with GPU computing, a new computing method. Simply put, GPU computing is the use of GPU (graphics processor) for general scientific and engineering calculations. At present, CPU only integrates four cores at most, while GPU has hundreds of cores, which has a unique advantage in high-density parallel computing. The high-performance computing workstation launched by Founder Technology adopts the heterogeneous computing mode of CPU+GPU. The sequential part of the application runs on the CPU, while the compute-intensive part is shared by the GPU. In this way, the computing power of the system is fully released, and the running speed of the application program can be increased by 1-2 orders of magnitude.
Once the concept of GPU computing was put forward, it set off an unprecedented storm in the field of high performance computing. In the past four years, hundreds of universities and research institutions such as Samsung, Motorola, Harvard and Stanford have used more than 6,543.8 billion GPUs in various fields such as cancer treatment, scientific research and teaching. Japan's fastest supercomputer also uses GPU computing technology. Microsoft's WIN7 has integrated GPU computing functions. Downstream manufacturers such as HP, Founder, Lenovo, etc. It has also been actively following the technology trend and actively developing GPU computing applications. NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun once boldly predicted: "2009 is the year of GPU detonation, and the era of personal computing with CPU and GPU has arrived."
Founder Technology brought GPU computing applications to China, and built desktop high-performance computing workstations for domestic educational and scientific research institutions and major enterprises. This product can be widely used in biological information and life sciences, fluid dynamics, atmospheric and marine modeling, space science, electronic design automation, graphic imaging and many other fields. Compared with the traditional server cluster, the advantages of GPU supercomputer introduced by Founder Technology in terms of cost performance, floor space and power consumption are overwhelming. Do a simple arithmetic: the server cluster originally used by a university has 256 AMD Opteron dual-core processor cores, and the construction cost is 5 million US dollars, which is used by the whole school. However, if we switch to four Founder Mirren 3400 2800 high-performance computing workstations, the performance will be better, the cost is only 1 10,000 US dollars, and the power consumption will be reduced by more than 10 times. Even if each researcher is equipped with a desktop, it is still cost-effective.
As a national manufacturer who set foot in the workstation business earlier in China, Founder Technology has gone through 10 years of research and development in the workstation field and achieved good results. The person in charge of its workstation said that the launch of a GPU supercomputer based on a new computing method on the occasion of 10 anniversary shows the determination of Founder Technology Workstation to take root in customer application requirements, keep up with technology trends and keep innovating.
