FREMONT, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/18/13 -- AMAX, a leading innovator of High Performance Computing (HPC), dynamic Enterprise IT, and custom Appliance Manufacturing solutions, today announced during the annual Supercomputing (SC13) show in Denver, CO, that it will offer the new NVIDIA® Tesla® K40 family of GPU accelerators in its ClusterMax™ cluster and ServMax™ server platforms. The 235W K40 accelerators outperform CPUs by up to 10x and include a Tesla GPUBoost feature that enables power headroom to be converted into user-controlled performance boost, as well as 12GB of GPU accelerator memory to process 2x larger datasets, making it ideal for big data analytics and large-scale scientific computations.

The ClusterMax™ and ServMax™ platform solutions featuring the new K40 accelerators are ideal for universities, national research labs, government, and enterprise high-performance computing environments where massive computational power is required. To meet these demands, AMAX offers up the ClusterMax™ SuperG™, a complete turnkey GPU-enabled cluster that has been pre-configured, ready to deploy on-site and configurable with up to 108 NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPU accelerators in a standard 42U cabinet, delivering over 460+ Teraflops of peak single precision performance and 150+ Teraflops of peak double precision performance across 311,040 CUDA cores per standard 42U cabinet.

"With NVIDIA's powerful and efficient Tesla K40 accelerators and AMAX's dynamic cluster and server solution designs, we are able to deliver breakthrough performance and compute efficiency for double-precision focused applications," said Julia Shih, Director of Strategic Alliance at AMAX. "With SMX (streaming multiprocessor) design, Dynamic Parallelism, Hyper-Q, GPUDirect with RDMA technologies embedded in the Kepler compute architecture, the performance increase we've seen in data analytics, satellite imaging, and weather modeling applications have simply been astounding."

The latest AMAX solutions designed for the Tesla K40 accelerators include:

- ClusterMax™ SuperG™ GPU Cluster:

• Up to 311,040 GPU cores, 460+ Teraflops of single precision and 150+ Teraflops of double precision performance and 1,296 dedicated GPU memory per 42U cluster
