Businesses increasingly rely on computer modeling to cost-effectively design and test products, or for processing large amounts of data required to drive business decisions. Running simulations or data processing models can take hours even weeks to complete and requires expensive supercomputers or computing clusters. For many organizations, this is often a cost prohibitive barrier to better product design, faster test results, higher resolution data analysis, or the essential information to make the right choices for the future.
The Acceleware-Enabled Future
Acceleware provides a solution to process computational intensive applications and computer based simulations up to 35 times faster than a current top of the line workstation. The product combines Acceleware software for leveraging the massive parallel processing capabilities available in NVIDIA® graphics processing units (GPUs) or other multi-core hardware environments. This amalgamation delivers unprecedented computational capabilities in a form factor that features a very low TCO that brings supercomputing capabilities to users such as engineers, researchers, geophysicists and financial analysts.
Key Features Include:
• Flexibility of supercomputing capabilities without having to build and maintain a cluster.
• Turbo-charge your existing server room investment by installing Acceleware 1u rackmounted solutions to boost your existing hardware investments.
• Increase the capacity to design better products – run 35 design simulations in the time it used to require to process 1 simulation and deliver products with higher performance characteristics, lower costs that meet deadlines.
• Save money by using less power with a smaller footprint than equivalent high-performance computing solutions.
• Seamlessly integrates into many popular 3rd-party simulation, testing, processing and design applications.
Acceleware's software leverages the parallel processing capability of multi-core platforms. The NVIDIA GPU platform provides 128 cores of parallel-computing resources combined with the significantly higher memory bandwidth of graphics boards to accelerate computational intensive application. The result is a peripheral device that functions as a "deskside supercomputer".
Processing Superpower
The Accelerator™ Board is a single graphics processing unit (GPU) installed in your workstation that offers tremendous performance enhancements for smaller sized problems. The Accelerator is driven by NVIDIA computing solutions and Acceleware software, bundled with applications to provide you with a total solution.
The ClusterInABox™ Dual comes in the form factor of a deskside peripheral device that contains two Accelerator Boards, delivering twice the speed and problem size capacity of the single board solution. The ClusterInABox Quad contains four Accelerator Boards to tackle the largest simulation problems and delivers up to 35 times greater speed than a leading edge workstation.
The ClusterInABox solutions can effectively replace the rack of servers and cluster nodes you are currently using to drive your 3rd-party applications, delivering improved performance in a smaller form factor at a lower total cost of ownership.
Computational Tasks Now Completed "Over Coffee Instead of Overnight"
Our products empower applications that require large amounts of computation, take a lot of time, and can be divided into independent subtasks. Your cell phone design simulation that used to run overnight can now be completed in the same time it takes to walk over to Starbucks® for a Caffé Latte!
"Since the multi-core processors have limited speed advantage for the time domain sparse matrix simulation, the Acceleware A30 card was extremely valuable in decreasing simulation time by a factor of 5 for large antenna array analysis. I highly recommend Acceleware hardware solutions as well as the business relationship with Acceleware."
