Introducing the World's Fastest 1U Server

[grisgrisy]

some great inforamtion here thanks

[peanuttherat]

The real question is though...why do you need graphics power in a server?

[walter0bz]

@peanuttherat - GPGPU

[xplinux22]

@peanuttherat Just as walter0bz said; it's not used for graphics, it's used for math calculations. It can't perform well on games as it's not geared towards DirectX/OpenGL, but rather for science and math.

[peanuttherat]

That awkward moment when a 16 year old builds a more powerful one....

[krifug96]

can it run BF3?

[urabubble]

but can it run pong?

[corin12355]

This is incredible, but the question is, can it run Crysis?

[TheServer4dmin]

This is what computing should be about. High end Tech helping the world. Nice video.

[Mbit100]

Will It Play Minecraft

[decimat777]

@Mbit100 nope :(

[Dennisln456]

Meow

[FulLitenHund]

I got here from Minecraft videos...

[cpserve]

and this little baby will last up until the warranty is done the GPUs will come up off the board from extensive heat and overuse like the HP Compaq Presario F700 Series and the Nvidia On-board Graphics Fault in them

[decimat777]

@cpserve these cards yes but the new revised fermi computation cards are very power conservative compared to the total throughput they produce. and i agree those compaqs were a pain in the ass, but you also have to blame hp because they knew what they were dealing with as far as the thermal envelope which they did not entirely take into consideration when it came to making their laptops so thin(especially with aluminum/nickel heatsinks!!!)

[Amaroqdricaldari]

Just combine the GPUs and CPUs into APUs. AMD is doing it, Intel is doing it to some degree (take a look at Intel HD Graphics), so you it's your turn. Good luck, Nvidia. May the (something Computer-Related) be with you.

Also, try taking a look at the EVGA Killer Xeno Pro and the PS3's Cell Processor.

[decimat777]

@Amaroqdricaldari man what ignorance most people have lol. im not a fanboy or a troll but i want you to know nvidia has already thought of this since the market is changing for more apu like products. The tegra was just a small sample, desktop versions will be released at an uncertain(to the public) date. And the idea has been in progress for almost over 3 years now. Most technology you see today was designed 3-10 years ago.

[decimat777]

@Amaroqdricaldari just to add one more thing, these new nvidia APU's will be ARM cpu architecture based. what new OS coming out in the next year or so will be supporting ARM.... Win8

[YFLOInternational]

This is a great video. Some good Open Source Intel. The narrator is a smart man.

[BillCheesey5RBLX]

This would rid any computer of all lag.

[szybkilopez566]

@fromspore No, but one of these Tesla based clusters (even a tiny one) would be able to crack all WEP based WLANs in your town while you'd be still spelling "Mummy"

[crazzylatvian]

But can you play PAC MAN on it?

[123Jus1]

Made on a mac

[taliewacker2007]

need to give a couple of these guys to treyarch.

[waseem1173]

All that is cooled passively ? god i cant imagine how hot those trays would get

[balagehun1991]

@waseem1173 look at 1:32 you can see a couple of pairs of fans, they arent assembled to the heatsink itself but blows the air towards it. i think it is to reduce size or something...

[waseem1173]

@balagehun1991 yeah i did saw those . still i dont see a exhaust port anywhere on the front. i am guessing you can probably cook a egg over one of those 1U trays lol

[pmgodfrey]

Unfortunately it can't fix the economy.

[brainpower2]

1.the ps3 has a cpu which also functions as gpu (and yes a better computer can be build( also when the ps3 came out (ex dual GPU setups also modern pc's all have more memory), this costs a lot more then a ps3)

2.the distributed computing platform is insufficient to game, serverstation is meant to render quality based and most games render time based

3.the agriculture form the PlayStation is totally different as for a normal pc, so speed and cores are uncomparable

4.try play on a good pc(u will c

[R3n3s0nyk1ll]

what if u use a serverstation for gaming ? xD

[josue57999]

oh yeah well i have a 4 gb flash drive and thats only the begining :P

[MrMezzaOne]

This is all very impressive, But will it blend?

[dillinger9999]

PS3 lol

[shrimants]

just adding to the flamewar, but computer gaming will always be the more advanced platform compared to console. Not sure what that has to do with servers, though. i wish i had a use for this sort of thing.

[cyberjackcyberjack]

Yes But will it run Vista .....I dont think so ...lol

[JoeA320Pilot]

Fuck your shitty consoles. Failbox 360 with it's overheating and the Gay Station 3 with 3 inactive cores (Which makes it quad duh) I bet my AMD Phenom (6 cores ALL ACTIVE) can easily put your little toys to shame.

[Aldeni1551]

@JoeA320Pilot 6 cores? You'd be lucky to find a game to even utilise 4 of those.

And your Gaystation doesn't have 4 cores, it has 8 with all of them being potentially active, assuming your game uses all 7 threads. 7 are available for developers and the eighth is reserved for the OS.

[LordsOfMinecraft]

oh shutup x-box and PS3 fanboys, my 3d tri-gate i7 prototype computer has the best processor in the world.

[unrealace98]

NO THE XBOX IS DA FASTEST PROCESSOR IN THE WORLD. Get at me haters

[otakucode]

@MrMurad1234: Actually, you should read up on the Cell processor that is in the PS3. It IS one of the fastest processors around. The Navy and several other organizations built supercomputers out of them. When it was released, it was the most powerful processor for the price by a very large margin.

[TheWorldiLivein]

i am convinced that you sir are an alien

[cemeteryridge]

But can it play tetris?

[cbass5511]

No, the ps3 does not have a core even equal to that of a 1st gen i7 chip. Console developers just have it easy.

[riotofdablood]

Fuck man i know SHIT!!

[gameking008]

i wanna host minecraft on it

[DensterrR01]

So can i Play Games ON it?

[fablungo]

The irony of when I am watching this and its uses to help prepare for tsunamis.

[Rasmussen57]

Will it blend? thats is the question.

[njdevil281]

but can you play solitaire on it?

[josh2beefy]

So they say the "Worlds Fastest 1U Server." Didn't we design, develop and implement blade server technology quite some time ago that absolutely trumps this?

[DarkSnowNebula]

So. Intell has a 200 GHz CPU. I know this from first hand experence. Unless AMD can match it any time in our life time. There introuble.

[cameron20020]

@DarkSnowNebula

clock speed doesnt always have much to do with actual processing power, higher clock speeds are actually pretty inefficient, its better to have many cores on a low clock speed, means cheaper manufacturing, and less stress on the system

[tanmaniac]

@DarkSnowNebula That's not physically possible. Back in the Pentium era, Intel hit a barrier at 6 or 7 GHz, which is why new processors are at max 3.6 -ish GHz, and instead are being sold with multiple cores. More cores are more effective for a parallel computing solution. Such a high clock speed (200 GHz) is also extremely inefficient, as it would put off too much heat and would be difficult to cool.

[frostedlambs]

they look small in the pic but there actual very big

[frostedlambs]

thay look small in the pic but there actualy verry big

[frnuno]

GPU is just a concept... Listes to the man!!

He's talking about paralel and serial processing.

GPUs act like dedicated processing pipelines for intructions,

while CPUs do that and can control and monitor the data flow.

Instructions given to a GPU dont have to result in 3d modeling.

[runrunforest1]

GPU are for 3d modeling, if you ask why use GPU on a server.

[Dailybabble]

Wait is this a server for hosting?

[sshuck]

"...they can take existing problems that they've really never been able to solve before, and they can solve it 10 times or 100 times faster..."

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Meero310]

i saw a big mistake one day on the history chanel TESLA was a CROAT not SERBIAN !!!!!

[HijackingAsian]

wtf is this servers?small fast computer? why dont they sell these!overclokc?wtf!ati?wtf!!!­!

[syfillDMBoNeZz]

arent they gonna put a nividia in a psp 2?? cuz if im correct its a tegra 2

[RandomGuyNo3]

but how fast will it run crysis

[cobrachoppergirl]

Why would you want one GPU in a server, let alone 2....

[Dant2142]

@cobrachoppergirl It's meant to be a GPGPU system for massive data crunching for applications that benefit from it.

[AllFractUp]

@cobrachoppergirl

Check out their Tesla computers which puts 1 TeraHertz GPU processing power into a single tower chassis. It is a hybrid PC with CPUs and GPUs used together for enormous data crunching potential.

[lesleyhenriquez]

@cobrachoppergirl If you have problems that require floating point calculations only (single or double precision) with calculations that are easily put in parallel for processing, this can come in very handy. You do not need it for integers, a Pentium Pro is faster in that department. If you happen to have a fast nVidia gpu, go to their website and download Badaboom, then convert some video on your cpu, then on your gpu. You can see a performance difference of up to 900%, possibly more.

[darkblood931]

You want power for a GAME and not computing like this? Get a workstation for the shits & giggles

[jakestweeker]

but will it blend ?

[pinkiruina]

Nice hair Asian women ***lushfmlk.info***

[6062006au]

I so wish I could play games with one of these processors!

[wafllemywaffle]

Well, ATI just got fucked in the mouth... again :P

[jdcrispe95]

could it run windows?

[nathanialmunir]

i bet you porn is going to be real fun on this computer!...

[DGtek101]

How do you connect several together

[Banango3]

Psssh!! That computer is trash!

[Nvidiaguides]

Thumbs up for parallel computing!

Well done nvidia, your input towards the computing industry saves lives.

[ArtemiaSalina]

Ford or Chevy, Ginger or Maryanne, nVidia or ATI. Silly, isn't it?

[Consumerofknowledge]

god...it is beautiful.

[MrMurad1234]

ps3 has the worlds fastest processor if u dont belive me u should know that worlds fastest computer was made from ps3 processor

[MrDemonshalo]

@MrMurad1234

stupidest way of arguing EVER!

WTF, I think I'm blinded by your stupidity -_-

[NBAasDOGG]

@MrMurad1234

fuck off with your ps3, this is about fastest cpu and teslas, ps3 is just a toy!

There are already 12 core cpu's from AMD, but not in the market yet.

Just go play with your ps3

[ShadowGh0st]

@NBAasDOGG

Incorrect, AMD's 12-core "Magny-Cours" as well as 8-core edition has been out since late march of 2010.

[lesleyhenriquez]

@NBAasDOGG You obviously know little to nothing about the Cell-cpu. Read up on it's architecture and realize a blade server filled with Cells will probably equal if not surpass this system in double precision floating point, and absolutey blow it away when it comes to integer calculations. Cell was built from the ground up as a supercomputer cpu, and it's a small miracle it made it's way to a home console. "Toy", bitch please. And those 12 core cpu's have yet to prove themselves.

[experimental0000]

@NBAasDOGG agreed. consoles are designed to be toys. yes they can be networked to make a crude system, but in compared to a real server, a console falls short. IBM's Watson is a good example of a real server and computing power for such a comparison to a game console..

[bravoangle]

@NBAasDOGG u tit sony ps3 has 9 multi GPUs layered inside of one unit - it also contains next gen CPU the parts aint "toys" they are next gen chips! this aint a comp so dont try and make it one the ps3 is a excellent console which does what its built for gaming!

[eventfularse]

@bravoangle "it also contains next gen CPU" :')

[testdirver]

@bravoangle lol hahahahahahaha the ps3 have a NVIDIA GPU with the same power of one 7800x2 and that it when they release the ps3 the flag ship from NVIDIA was the 7800 gtx them they release the 7950 and that its even faster and cooler....THAT why its a great atchiement the ps3 can run crysis 2 but they cant run crysis hahahahahahahahaha also all the game run in dx9

[machstarfox]

@NBAasDOGG lets see some software to maximize that 12 core cpu

[q1joe]

@machstarfox there is plenty, all rendering. all server softwares.

[machstarfox]

@q1joe nice

[dondonini]

@NBAasDOGG ps3 uses a nvidia graphics card

[thedevo01]

@NBAasDOGG That 12 core CPU.. is that the Bulldozer project?

[TheJennetteFan]

@NBAasDOGG Fuck you first ps3 has one of the fastest cpu second intel has 80 core proseccor proof watch?v=97uSsjjoSNM and amd is the suckish one 6 intel cores = 12 amd cores so shut the fuck up

[sniper77shot]

@TheJennetteFan 6 pysical cores = 12 cores, so 12 amd cores are equal to 24 total cores. AMD would be so much cheaper than intel. It is just a friggen obsession with people and intel.

[FrapsYou]

@NBAasDOGG but byfar the cheapest is ps3. I dont hate this or that nor love... I love all these techs I hope they continue to be innovative.

[rocaddict2]

@NBAasDOGG

12 core cpus.. what a waste of resources, and SOO much media spin! You'd saturate the data bus before you got 2-3 peocessors running at full bore. It used to be more so HDD latencies being the bottleneck, now it's bus width. I suppose AMD and the liar that it Intel have to keep their shareholders happy. "We can't make them faster, due to thermal issues, so let's start throwing more cores in there!"

[WoWkiddymage]

@NBAasDOGG hey im wondering and you prolly dont know but is it pretty much a compact comp .. cpu,gpu,hdd, and ram all in one unit.. and if so.. can you pretty much make a super laptop w/ that?

[dontillman]

@NBAasDOGG Amazingly immature response. The PS3 is no toy. It has a PowerPC processor for scheduling etc. and 7 cell processors. Combining multiple PS3's can create supercomputer or supercomputer-like performance. Sweet starting at only $250. That is a win! "Each PPE can complete two double precision operations per clock cycle using a scalar-fused multiply-add instruction, ...which translates to 25.6 GFLOPS at 3.2 GHz.[28]"

[Ubernoob85]

@dontillman AMD Radeon HD 6990: "... It packs 5.1 teraflops of compute power.." - PCMAG

Price? $720

(Call it 3 PS3s) with NO extra latency from Ethernet the PS3s have 76.8 GFLOPS, the Radeon has 5.1 TFLOPS.

Don't get me wrong, the PS3 was great for clustering a while ago, but it's old now.

[Mastermind12358]

@MrMurad1234

ahahah are you fucking stupid ?

[MechWarrior324]

@MrMurad1234 I'm sorry, but a single core processor at 3.2 GHz is definately not the fastest CPU. And it was released in 2006. Do you know how fast technology advances? Consoles will never catch up to custom-built desktop PCs, much less these super servers..

[metaldemon52]

@MrMurad1234 ehm... ps3 has 7 cores running at 3.2 ghz. as though i read somewhere... there are computers with two hexacores running at the same 3.2 ghz at one core.. that will bring your silly ps3 to its knees.

and if the ps3 acctually had the worlds fastest proccesor... imagine the price it had, and if so. it wasn't a toy dingbat ;)

[JeannotvanBerlo123]

Servers are usually never overclocked as stability is extremely important (they will run 24 hours a day)

[DuyAnh1]

can u play game with a server system?!?!?

[jiban85]

@DuyAnh1 Not... a server IGP sucks, and no PCI xpress 16x slot avaliable

[DaBurntToaster]

@jiban85 for PCI e 2.0 x16 and x8 are pretty much the same

[jiban85]

@jiban85 not for this server but proliant DL380 G7 server now can have a 16x slot with a optional riser card may be the next version of this server can include these slots

[Petr0vich13]

You gamers are so stupid with all you shit about "let see how it plays my fap-fap-crisis"!!! This boxes is not for hi-fps games at all!

[badboyforlife10195]

Can Tesla be used for gaming

[tremer88]

why do people feel the need to waste thousands to make their home computers as powerful as these things, get a life people

[Aigor1234]

Could someone buy 10 of then and put all together and make a video of gameplay crysis with fraps? That would be nice!

[bored4longtimes]

What the hell, were they showing a mammogram as an example use of the technology!?!?

[Consumerofknowledge]

ATI always gets raped.

[8igBucksFan]

@Consumerofknowledge ...You obviously don't know that ATI/AMD produces the GPU for the Xbox360, Wii and Gamecube consoles, all of which are sold in amazing quantities. AMD/ATI aims for price to performance ratio, not sheer power.

[sxy070]

damn. I bet if i had that as my computer i wouldn't have a problem running my programs in real time H.D at all. the problems are:

1.money

2.space

3.power suply

4.enviorment

5.security

and lasty if your wife will let u get it. but with me being single the last one doesn't apply to me XP

[Machineghosts]

crysis will still have trouble running LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Consumerofknowledge]

@sxy070 My same problem not enough money....not enough room for anything. And a rack to put it in, that needs space as well.

[tribalmasters]

Do want! It not only plays Flight sim it looks like an aircraft part too :)

[yorgaraz]

The Way Is nVIDIA!

[logistix111]

NICE! Too bad only a couple of programs can use the cluster though. That's the problem. Elcomsoft's password cracker is a nice one and maybe VMware.

[mitsukai89]

i like this idea.

if software could just point out one module for one program or one thread. we dont need to have video cards or sound cards anymore. we just buy like 4 modules, appoint one module for video proccessing one for sound processing one for the operating system and one for the programs. but if each modulee has its own memory. i am confused how the operating system is going to communicate with the other modules and output everything as one whole. but they do it with supercomputers..

[part2themovie]

i love the idea too.

but software engineering needs a revolution to leverage all that parallel processing before these can replace desktop pcs. i view this as r&d because until all these complexities are transparent to application developers it's never going to fly.

[logistix111]

@mitsukai89 your basic windows operating system and programs are dumb. you have to write an application that is smart enough to use the nodes. research Elcomsoft NVIDIA Cuda, OpenMosix, OSCAR, MPICH2 and have a nice day

[mitsukai89]

@logistix111

no shit duchebag

[logistix111]

Oh so you already know the answers to your questions? Idiot. You spelled douchebag wrong too by the way. Don't bother replying because you have been blocked. I blocked you so I don't have to worry about hunting you down in real life and getting put in jail again.

[j7x54]

can u get 400 fps on a game with this? with out a hickup

[Americasbestinjuries]

You can't run games on this, but a Corei7 PC with two GTX 295's (the home equivalent of this) can manage around 240 fps on Crysis. You can never really get higher than 240 fps, as the monitor wouldn't be able to display it.

[zaknology]

a gtx 295 will never pull 240 fps on crysis, unless you run it on low 1024x768 or something...

[logistix111]

@zaknology human eye cannot comprehend that many frames per second so your argument is moot

[JesperA86]

hahahahaaha are you retarded or something? most stupid comment i ever seen.....

[McClover]

@Americasbestinjuries 240 fps HAHAhAHA! I think the record is like 80+ fps NOT 240!!!!!!! HAHAHA! And they used i7 and a quad sli setup!

[Americasbestinjuries]

I was simply referencing the refresh rates. You can buy 30, 60, 120, and 240 Hz monitors, with 60 Hz being the most common. The refresh rate indicates the highest framerate a monitor can actually display. Some games will report a higher framerate, but it will be downsampled by the GPU scaler before display.

[bobslive1]

i get more than 80 fps and i run the i7 with a 9800gt

[nos676]

WRONG

a X58 motherboard, 24GB DDR3 200MHz, 4 x GTX 285's is the equivelant

[alterbr33d]

Is there software that semi-emulates or tricks existing applications so they will work thinking they are on a single computer?

[jayxtreme6]

there is nothing to trick, a cluster is like a raid array, where multiple hdds are perceived as one logical volume, same with clusters, multiple pcs are perceived to be one.

[mrhudds]

is this faster than a p90 or 486dx25 ?

can it do calculations faster than an abacus?

[Wipeoout]

Mr Nvidia. Does this run nes emulator. I couldnt find the slot where i insert my nes cartridges.

Seriosly tho this is nice. Keep up the exponential progress! Im bored.

[SonsOfNihil]

Ehhh, CPU power doubles each year. You call that exponential? Nah! Its linear. You say you are bored eh? Buy yourself an elementary school Math book.

[axkingz]

it is exponential, as an example: try doubling numbers. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on... draw those numbers in to a graph, and u will see an exponential increase. If the increase was to be linear, it would look like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... If we were to have a linear progress, we wouldent have GPU's with a gigaflop computing power in personal computers today.

[SonsOfNihil]

It would be linear using a logarithmic graph ;)

Though you are right, its expo.

Sorry it was late and I screwed ;)

[axkingz]

i just had this stuff in math, so i couldent resist :)

Lets just say that CPU power has increased by amazing amounts the last 30 years.

[logistix111]

@axkingz at the general cosumer level, yes. there have been 128bit government systems keeping your ass safe for years and years and years.

[PlayNChilll]

ok i like nvidia now

[Hypermobilemind]

Oh my god, the model at 2:10 has 10 million atoms, that's amazing that a Tesla is able to render that. These 1U servers are incredibly cheap for their processing power, 4 Teraflops, that's amazing.

[neelwebs]

intresting!

[zern8787]

Nuce

[slicedcheddarcheese]

Lol now AMD and ATI(ahh same company) will cry :P

[mikeccuk2006]

AMD have x86 and x64 licence, so they are allowed to make 100's cores x86-64 GPGPU or CPU.

Some notebook are using only GPGPU, nvdia's is using ARM agriculture to run linux on.

[mortenrobinson]

All notebooks carrying any nvidia from the gf-8xxx-series and up will be able to take advantage of gpgpu technology through nvidia's CUDA.

[sonofhendrix]

But what the CPU needs to be able tp do is send the parrallel computations to the GPUS, for true intergration.

Instead software has to be specifically designed to run on CUDA code. Still it is better than nothing.

[DT570]

Once the data is in the GPU's memory the CPU isn't needed, if the GPU's need data from main memory they can use DMA. I think the reason they designed this system was to make it easier for people to modularly migrate programs to CUDA, this way an x86 program can be gradually converted instead of having to be 100% CUDA in the first place.

[smartguy9765]

and now, overclock it!!!!!!!

[JKBenchmarks]

Can it play Crysis?

[smartguy9765]

at like 1000 fps or something lol

[slicedcheddarcheese]

Yes, at a very high framerate. If you are using the server by yourself and playing crysis at highest settings the FPS will be about 50 or something =)

[papalevies]

No dude, it will be like 60. Crazy stuff

[wurgdwerg]

No, over a thousand. Believe me it´s true ;)

[lootehcris]

setting up a full tesla and quadro workstation will cost about 10 grand,

with 3 tesla then 1 quadro card

[Stuna2150]

@smartguy9765 im not sure you can over clock those things lol

[smartguy9765]

@nerddna

if only they didn't suck so much on the consumer market.

everything after the 2xx gtx is a joke.

[ByT3R]

@nerddna I know this post is over a year old but... Actually no. The M1060 processor only reaches 933 GFLOPS peak single precision and barely 78 GFLOPS double precision floating point peak performance. AMD's (ATI) HemlockXT 5970 gets 4.64 TFLOPS single precision and 1.09 TFLOPS double precision floating point peak performance with its 2 GPUs.

[skimowhite586]

@ByT3R yeah but hats a graphics card duh

[ByT3R]

@skimowhite586 What are you trying to say? I recommend an education. There may be 2 M1060 on a card, but that still doesn't change the fact that the 5970 is more powerful for GPGPU computing.

[shineclot]

Awesome
