Supercomputer Website Reports on CIARA’s NEXXUS C showcased at ISC 2012

It was great to see CIARA NEXXUS C, the kind of a solution that was always interesting for me. It helps researches to use local HPC clusters resource without a need for an infrastructure. Otherwise office conditioner will be needed to take out several KWs from the room on summer. And no additional heater on winter needed.

The most important for such kind of systems always was noice. It is expected not more then 45dB! Almost the same as traditional office workstation.

System is designed and optimized for advanced modeling, simulation, and to solve today’s complex problems, the NEXXUS C Series delivers industry-leading performance in an office-friendly package at an affordable price. This revolutionary product takes extreme-performance computing to a new level by combining the power and performance capabilities of a data-center cluster with the ease and usability of a workstation. While a typical workstation has only from 4 to 12 CPU cores, the NEXXUS C allows for up to 20 processors, 120 cores, 16-GP-GPU and almost 2TB of memory for unmatched performance in a deskside form factor.
