Supermicro Announces Support for New Intel Xeon Phi x100 Product Family

Supermicro’s HPC solutions unify the latest Intel Xeon processors with Intel’s Many Integrated Core architecture based Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors to dramatically accelerate development and performance of engineering, scientific and research applications. Supermicro solutions are available in 0.7U SuperBlade, 1U, 2U, 3U SuperServer and high-density 7U 20x MIC SuperBlade or 4U 12x MIC FatTwin designed to support the highest performance 300W Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. FatTwin clusters have been successfully deployed in the field supporting thousands of nodes at recent HPC projects. With new Supermicro solutions based on Intel Xeon Phi 3100, 5100 and 7100 coprocessor series, the HPC community will have access to more options for massive parallel processing power with double-precision performance.

“Supermicro’s presence in the HPC community is strong and growing with the introduction of our new Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor based server solutions,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “With the addition of new Intel Xeon Phi 3100, 5100 and 7100 series coprocessors, we offer five times the amount of solutions providing our customers maximum flexibility to create HPC solutions optimized for their exact application needs.”

“Supermicro has a proven record to adopt new technologies that accelerate the deployment of systems assisting in key engineering and research applications,” said Rajesh Hazra, Vice President and General Manager of Intel’s Technical Computing Group. “With our five new Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor product offerings, Supermicro continues to demonstrate a capability to deliver innovative, time to market solutions to the high performance computing community.”
