Solving Power and Cooling Challenges for High Performance Computing

Overview

It takes a comprehensive strategy to scale High Performance Computing (HPC) capabilities, while simultaneously containing power and cooling costs. New Dual-Core Intel Xeon and Intel Itanium processor-based servers offer a critical new resource, delivering dramatic increases in performance, price/performance and energy-efficiency across a broad range of HPC applications. This paper explains this and other Intel advances that can help to increase density, reduce costs and scale capacity in the existing facilities.
