Eurotech, a leading provider of special purpose computing platforms, presents Aurora, a revolutionary supercomputer that sets the pace for performance and efficiency. Aurora (Intel® Cluster Ready Certified) is packed with the most advanced solutions: quad-core Intel® Xeon® 5500, 100Gbps per node bandwidth capacity, programmable on-node acceleration, multi-level synchronization networks and direct liquid cooling. Aurora sets a new standard of excellence in high performance computing.

Presenting at SCExhibitor Forum

• Wednesday    14:30-15:00    Room C123
• Walter Rinaldi (Eurotech), Pierfrancesco Zuccato (Eurotech)
• Aurora Highlights: Green Petascale Performance


• In this presentation we will describe Aurora, Eurotech's HPC offering: an innovative system, featuring Intel's latest generation processors and chipsets, liquid cooled in order to ensure high energy efficiency, at the highest possible packaging density. The current Aurora architecture is based on a dual socket Intel Xeon5500 processor/chipset based processing node, resulting in one 19-inch chassis capable of providing 3Tflops@12.5kW@0.5m3 or an 8-chassis rack 24Tflops@100kW@3.6m3. Such a high density is achieved with extensive usage of liquid cooling, carried out with metal plates coupled to all Aurora boards, having coolant flow inside them. Aurora modules have no moving parts, no attached modules, and are hot-replaceable, being connected with miniaturized couplings to the heat removal hydraulic infrastructure. Aurora interconnect consists of both QDR Infiniband for its switched network and a 60Gbs fully customizable, robust, low latency 3D Torus, implemented via a high density FPGA and short cabling.
