February 15, 2011 | Memory bottlenecks have always been a concern
when dealing with large data sets. With the advent of multi-core
processors, memory access is the obvious concern for application
developers and their end users. PSSC Labs latest servers and
workstations directly address this issue by providing platforms which
can now support massive amounts of memory in a single system.
The Company is now shipping two new cost-effective computing platforms
supporting up to 512 GB of high performance system memory; the
PowerServe Quattro I4800 and the PowerServe Quattro A41200. Each of
these platforms leverages different processor architectures to achieve
this massive memory capability. The PowerServe Quattro I4800 is based
on Intel® Xeon® architecture and contains 32 processors cores and can
support up to 40TB of redundant storage space. The PowerServe Quattro
I41200 is based on AMD® Opteron® architecture and contains 48 processor
cores and can also support up to 40TB of redundant storage space. Both
systems support Microsoft Windows® operating system as well as a variety
of Linux operating systems including Red Hat, CentOS & Ubuntu.
Alex Lesser, PSSC Labs VP of Sales & Marketing, explains the
advantages of these new computing platforms. "Recently we attended a
Genomics conference where we heard repeatedly the need for scientist to
run their applications on large memory systems," begins Mr. Lesser.
"When you combine these awesome performance systems with PSSC Labs
expertise in delivering turn key solutions including application
installation and management tools, the scientific community is free to
focus on their work and not managing a complex computer system."
According to Mr. Lesser PSSC Labs plans to certify both platforms to run
a variety of applications including genome sequencing programs such as
Casava™ and Bioscope™.
Starting price for the PowerServe Quattro I4800 and PowerServe Quattro
A41200 systems is below $15,000 USD and can be shipped / supported world
wide. The systems can be custom configured to meet any budget or
specifications. PSSC Labs will soon be releasing new versions of the
PowerServe platform that will support up to 1.0TB of system memory.
