ASRock Rack 2U4N-F/X200 – Intel Knights Landing Server
Breakthrough of Highly-Parallel Performance: Launch of ASRock Rack 2U4N-F/X200
Taipei, Taiwan, June 21st, 2016
As the heat of supercomputing and high performance computing (HPC) continues, Intel has launched Knights Landing with massive cores and latest technology to hit the HPC market. Being partnered with Intel, ASRock Rack has unveiled today the brand new server 2U4N-F/X200, aims to bring the innovative solution to users.
2U4N-F/X200, as how it calls, has four computing nodes in 2U form factor. It features with Intel Xeon Phi X200 family. Using 14nm technology, this processor has 72 cores, which achieves 3 times more of performance compared with the highest specification of Intel Xeon E5-2600 family. Moreover, it is the first processor to integrate with fabric based on Omni-path architecture. It connects with QSFP 28 to approach 100G of network capacity. This fabric architecture can benefit the total cost of ownership in HPC platforms.
2U4N-F/X200 supports totally four of Intel Xeon Phi X200 processor on each node. It is equipped with 6 of DDR4 DIMM slots per node, 2 of PCIe3.0 x8 slots and 2 of 10G LAN ports. To top it off, it goes with NVMe SSD to accelerate more of the data transfer. Since the performance is highly enhanced, each node of 2U4N-F/X200 achieves more than 3 TFLOPs. For various applications such as big data analysis, machine learning, scientific purposes, visualization, and rendering machine, 2U4N-F/X200 is able to implement. While the world is meant to go parallel, 2U4N-F/X200 is going to benefit more and more HPC users in the foreseeable future.
