Amax has launched a new line of GPU workstations and servers, which are powered by AMD’s FireStream GPU technology and feature 4GB GDDR5 memory and a parallel processing architecture with 1,600 stream cores per GPU.
The company said that the new FireStream-based GPU Supercomputers are suitable for compute-intensive data parallel tasks, including climate research, genetic research, engineering analysis, oil and gas exploration and seismic processing.
According to Amax, the new FireStream GPU Supercomputers include OpenCL and DirectCompute language technology that provides a cross-vendor, non-proprietary offering for accelerating applications. They include multiple software entry points, 32- and 64-bit Linux and Microsoft Windows environments, and stream processor that supports multiple GPUs per system.
Amax said that the new offerings deliver up to 6,400 stream cores, 10.56 teraflops of single-precision floating point, and 2.112 teraflops of double-precision floating point performance in a single chassis.
Bohr-Young Tsao, product manager at Amax, said: "These new products in our portfolio of GPU workstation and server family increases AMAX’s versatility and offer customers a wide range of GPU computing solutions.
"Our expanding GPU line – with systems that support up to 6,400 cores, GDDR5 memory and double-precision floating point technology – help stimulate breakthroughs across a broad range of industries."
