Press Release September 4, 2007
Stirling 4x4 Processing!
Aberdeen's Server Delivers Quad, Quad-Core Power
Santa Fe Springs, California, Sept. 4, 2007 - Aberdeen
LLC, the Custom Server Solution Provider, and Supermicro Computer, Inc.,
a leading manufacturer of high-quality motherboards, have joined forces
to deliver an innovative HPC server solution. Featuring the 4-way quad-core
Intel® Xeon® Processor 7300 Series, Aberdeen's Stirling 444,
high-performance server,
caters to enterprise server markets such as;
grid computing, HPC
(High Performance Computer Cluster) and EPIC (Explicitly Parallel
Instruction Computing).
"We are excited about our new 4x4 server, and feel
that the Stirling 444 can maneuver through the toughest of computational
terrains." states Moshe Ovadya, President of Aberdeen.
The award-winning Aberdeen Stirling line of
high-performance rackmount
servers utilizes the quad socket, quad-core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 7300 Series to combine high performance processor technology,
power efficiency and reliability into every customizable server. The
multi-processor Stirling 444 is a multi-tasking beast that delivers
the best
value in multi-processing and delivers optimal performance in clustered
environments.
“Intel and Aberdeen both work to deliver
high-performance and innovation for server customers," said Boyd Davis,
general manager, Intel’s Server Platform Group Marketing. “The Aberdeen
Stirling 444 server is a great example, incorporating the
industry-leading performance, efficiency, and dependability of the new
4-way Quad-Core Xeon processors.”
The Stirling 444 is effectively a 16-core
supercomputer available to perform highly calculation-intensive tasks
such as quantum mechanical physics, weather forecasting, climate
research, molecular modeling, flight simulations, AI, graphic rendering
and 3D modeling. As for multitasking, the quad-core multi-processor
Stirling provides intensive computational power by off-loading certain tasks to specific cores, thus
freeing up additional processor resources for other tasks and resulting
in improved productivity for; universities, military agencies,
scientific research laboratories, game development, digital media
design, film and video rendering.
The Aberdeen Stirling HPC servers offer; quad-core
quad-processor support with a 1066Mhz front side bus, low
energy consumption, 8MB Cache, up to 192GB of fully-buffered DIMM DDR2 memory,
redundant 1200W power supply and SAS storage technology for premium disk
drive performance and SATA compatibility for a maximum of 5TB storage
capacity. Starting around the $8000, the Stirling 444 provides
high-performance 16-core processing and delivers radically
increased throughput, capability and
reliability.
