with HP ProLiant servers. This paper is intended for IT professionals who are aware of Visualization and Acceleration technologies and are potentially interested in either using or developing compute-intensive solutions that employ them. Introduction Visualization products are designed specifically - Compaq DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 3
on servers. Server processor and memory resources. Servers can provide more processors and larger memory configurations than many workstations. These may be needed when running more challenging applications. Resource sharing. Using a high-end server in a remote visualization configuration allows - Compaq DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 4
performance possible for specific Acceleration application appliances that do not require frequent changes. Creating and modifying acceleration applications using GPU's and their development systems is generally easier than using FPGAs. FPGA-based acceleration products tend to use less power - Compaq 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 - Compaq 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 - Compaq DL360 | Visualization and Acceleration in HP ProLiant servers - Page 7
