HP ProLiant servers to support Acceleration and Visualization products, and it describes the ongoing qualification and testing efforts undertaken at HP controllers. Graphics processor technology At the heart of all modern graphics controllers are GPU's, processor chips that are specifically - HP DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 3
viewing software such as HP Remote Graphics Software or other 3rd party products. There are several advantages to running Visualization applications on servers. Server processor and memory resources. Servers can provide more processors and larger memory configurations than many workstations. These - HP DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 4
an Acceleration solution in which the key parts of the required computational processes are actually compiled into the FPGA. FPGA acceleration products for servers come in two different physical configurations. Some products use FPGAs on PCI-X or PCI Express cards that install in a system slot - HP DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 5
between system memory and the accelerator board. Accomplishing this quickly and efficiently requires a great deal of I/O bandwidth. In order to provide the best support for accelerator products, HP has incorporated true x16 PCI Express slots into many of its ProLiant servers. On servers using the - HP DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 6
relatively high power consumption high performance visualization/acceleration cards place an additional burden on server cooling systems. HP has designed advanced sensor and fan control systems into G6 ProLiant servers to deliver the most efficient cooling possible and to support the additional - HP DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 7
