In this presentation, Bill Mannel from SGI provides an overview of the company's HPC solutions with Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 Processors. "SGI today announced support for Intel's newest Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family. This new microprocessor provides a 37 percent increase in peak performance per rack of its ICE X supercomputer as well as new performance records for its Rackable line of servers. Now harnessing the newest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family, SGI ICE X, Rackable and Modular InfiniteStorage products allow customers to run more jobs in the same footprint as previous generations, enabling scientific innovation and bringing new products to market more quickly. Customers can now take advantage of up to 50 percent more cores per socket, increased processing speeds and improved energy consumption."

"The efficiency of the SGI ICE X
system, which represents high
computational power using a
minimal amount of energy,
gives Total the smallest
footprint and lowest TCO
possible. This was a key factor
in our selection of SGI ICE X for
the Pangea system."
