HP accelerator qualification efforts At the time of publication, HP has qualified various accelerators and graphics cards to work with 14 ProLiant servers. We design ProLiant servers to meet a variety of conditions, including power, thermals, BIOS, and software. We qualify certain accelerators and graphics cards in select platforms to ensure they work properly. We also benchmark card performance using LINPAK, LAMMPS, GROMAC, ANSYS and others, so you can determine which is more beneficial for your application. The following sections list current HP-qualified accelerators and graphics cards as evidence of our commitment to HPC. Our qualification processes are server-specific and change over time.

HP accelerator qualification efforts
At the time of publication, HP has qualified various accelerators and graphics cards to work with 14
ProLiant servers. We design ProLiant servers to meet a variety of conditions, including power,
thermals, BIOS, and software. We qualify certain accelerators and graphics cards in select platforms
to ensure they work properly. We also benchmark card performance using LINPAK, LAMMPS,
GROMAC, ANSYS and others, so you can determine which is more beneficial for your application.
The following sections list current HP-qualified accelerators and graphics cards as evidence of our
commitment to HPC. Our qualification processes are server-specific and change over time. Go to
