DESCRIPTION
In this presentation, Bill Mannel from SGI provides an overview of the company's HPC solutions with Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 Processors. "SGI today announced support for Intel's newest Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family. This new microprocessor provides a 37 percent increase in peak performance per rack of its ICE X supercomputer as well as new performance records for its Rackable line of servers. Now harnessing the newest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family, SGI ICE X, Rackable and Modular InfiniteStorage products allow customers to run more jobs in the same footprint as previous generations, enabling scientific innovation and bringing new products to market more quickly. Customers can now take advantage of up to 50 percent more cores per socket, increased processing speeds and improved energy consumption."

“Over a two week period SGI delivered and installed ICHEC's new HPC system to the point where application porting and testing on the new platform could proceed. The new SGI systems will enable much larger and more
detailed problems to be simulated and analyzed in fields such as weather and climate forecasting,
materials science and bioinformatics.” Niall Wilson,
