24-Cores in 1U
Aberdeen's Stirling Server Delivers Six-Core Performance
Santa Fe Springs, California, Sept. 15, 2008 - Aberdeen
LLC, the Custom Server and Storage Provider, continues to provide innovative
high-performance servers. Featuring the Intel® Xeon® Processor
7400 Series, the Aberdeen Stirling 144
high-performance quad multi-core processor server,
caters to enterprise server markets such as;
grid computing, HPC
(High Performance Computer) and EPIC (Explicitly Parallel
Instruction Computing).
"We are enthralled by the launch of the Dunnington chips and this leap in
performance," states Moshe Ovadya, President of Aberdeen. "Aberdeen
is primed to deliver the utmost in computational performance by utilizing
four multi-core Intel Xeons in a single U space."
The award-winning Aberdeen Stirling high-performance rackmount
server line offers quad socket, six-core Intel® Xeon®
processors to provide the highest performance,
power efficiency and reliability into the 1U Stirling 144 customizable server. The
multi-processor Stirling 144 is a multi-tasking beast that provides
the best
value in multi-processing while delivering optimal performance in clustered
environments.
“The Aberdeen
Stirling 144 server is a great example of incorporating industry-leading performance, efficiency, and
scalability of the new
4-way multi-core Xeon processors.” said Boyd Davis, general manager,
Intel’s Server Platform Group Marketing.
The Stirling 144 is effectively a 24-core
supercomputer available to perform the highest calculation-intensive tasks.
As for multi-tasking, the multi-core Stirling 144 provides
intensive computational power by off-loading certain tasks to specific
cores. By freeing up additional processor resources for other
tasks, the multi-core based 1U Stirling improves productivity for the
most laborious tasks such as; global warming
research, quantum mechanical physics, molecular modeling, gnome mapping, flight simulations,
artificial intelligence, graphic rendering, 3D modeling and video rendering.
The Aberdeen Stirling HPC servers offer; six-core
quad-processor support with a 1066Mhz front side bus, low
energy consumption, 16MB Cache, up to 64GB of fully-buffered DIMM DDR2 memory,
1000W power supply and SAS storage technology for premium disk
drive performance and radically increased throughput. A fully
configured 24-core Aberdeen Stirling server supercomputer starts for just
under $15,000.
