ACMA Unleashes Four-Teraflop Intel Nehalem-Based Parallel Computing
Personal Supercomputer

Fremont, CA – July 1, 2009 – ACMA Computers, a leading custom server and storage system builder in North America, launches the PSC-2n, a 4 Teraflop high performance parallel Personal Supercomputer with support for two ultra fast Intel Xeon 5500 Series (Nehalem-EP) processors and 960 processing cores in a single system.

ACMA’s Helios PSC-2n delivers cluster level computing performance at your deskside. It is optimized for scientific computing, delivering up to 15x cost savings, 20x lower power, and 250x the performance than traditional 1U rack-optimized servers or desktop workstations. It is ideal for life sciences, geosciences, engineering & sciences, molecular biology, medical diagnostics, electronic design automation (EDA), government and defense, visualization, financial modeling, and oil & gas applications.

In addition, the ACMA Helios PSC-2n delivers the massive processing computing power previously available only from supercomputers to scientists, engineers and other technical professionals, enabling timely discoveries that transform billions of lives every day. It enables the necessary transition to energy efficient parallel computing power, with simplified application development. It also enables universities, research institutions, and companies in these and other fields to complete exponentially complex simulation models much quicker than before.

Additional features of ACMA’s Helios PSC solutions include:

• Industry's first massively multi-threaded architecture with 240-cores
• Fully utilizes the power of the next-generation Intel® Microarchitecture, code named Nehalem, automatically increases processor frequency and utilizes hyper-threading when needed
• Support for the latest Tylersburg-EP processing technology, DDR3 1333/1066/800 memory, Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® VT, Intel® QuickPath Interconnect, and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
• Parallel architecture delivers optimum scaling across HPC applications
• High-efficiency computing platform for energy-conscious organizations
• NVIDIA CUDA technology unlocks the power of Tesla GPU computing products
• Standard C compiler simplifying application development
• A suite of developer tools (C-compiler, debugger, performance profiler, optimized libraries)
• Largest ISV development community for GPU Computing applications
• Seamlessly fits into existing HPC environments

"ACMA is proud to offer game changing technology that delivers best-in-class, high performance supercomputing solutions to meet our customers' most demanding HPC applications and I/O requirements," said Matt Thauberger, Technical Sales Manager of ACMA. "Our Helios PSC platforms dramatically reduce traditional computation times from weeks and months to hours and minutes. The high-performance computing industry is once again revolutionized with ACMA at the forefront."
