Bangalore: Nvidia, the global graphics processing units (GPU) developer has announced that Hewlett Packard's (HP) workstation, the Z800 Workstation is now configurable with up to two Nvidia Tesla GPUs. This is an indicator of the demand seen in the high performance computing (HPC) space for GPUs.
Enterprises that rely on HP workstations to accelerate their work in fields ranging from scientific research and industrial design, to 3D animation and seismic exploration, can now reap the benefits of Nvidia Tesla GPUs and tackle demanding computational workloads right at the desktop. "HP's workstation customers are professionals at the top of their game, pushing the limits of technology, for more creativity and innovation than ever before," said Jeff Wood, Director of Worldwide Marketing, Workstations, HP.
On partnering with HP, Andy Keane, General Manager of Tesla business at Nvidia said, "We are delighted to see a company such as HP begin to ship Tesla GPU-enabled systems into the market and to help accelerate the work of their customers."
The Tesla GPUs are based on the Nvidia CUDA architecture. In molecular dynamics, AMBER, a public research code with more than 60,000 users, has been written to leverage the CUDA architecture to deliver a 50X speed up of simulations. The result is faster scientific insights for researchers.
