Unleashing the Power of Your Desktop
Engineers, scientists, researchers and other workstation users are continually challenged with more complex problems and shorter deadlines in which to solve them. The Cray CX1-iWS™ solution addresses both of these issues by allowing larger models and simulations to be worked within the workstation environment, eliminating the need to move the problem to an external shared resource cluster, and providing an easy to setup solution.
The Cray CX1-iWS solution does this by combining a fully featured Microsoft® Windows® 7 workstation with a 24-core Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series cluster running Windows HPC Server 2008 — all in a convenient deskside form factor that can be run without any special power or machine room infrastructure.
The workstation node features an NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics card that can support two high definition monitors for visualization. NVIDIA Quadro cards also feature multiple levels of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration leveraging NVIDIA’s CUDA™ environment.
The Cray CX1-iWS solution includes all the interconnectivity resources required to deliver these benefits to the workgroup as well as the individual power user, by becoming the hub for workgroup high performance computing.
The Cray CX1-iWS solution redefines what the workstation user or workgroup can expect from their system and delivers a new era of responsiveness and power.
