Pinnacle Compute Blades feature Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors in a modular 2-in-1U blade enclosure for high density computing. Each compute blade module slides independently into the blade housing and has its own power supply and management features, allowing easy removal for service or mixing of processor architectures. Pinnacle offers models with Intel Xeon 5500 or AMD Opteron 2300/2400 series processors supporting up to 672 cores per rack.

The Aurora G-Station and Aurora Cube are supercomputers in a box.
Equipped with the latest Intel and Nvidia processors, they offers extraordinary power to process the heaviest computational loads in:
computer graphics and digital media
scientific computing
industrial applications (EDA, CAE, signal processing...)
business applications (computational finance, cyber security, forensic...)
software development.
The Aurora G-Station is a supercomputer in a box. Small and compact, easily deployable with no need of infrastructure and extensive HPC knowledge. Available in different configurations, pre-loaded with the software stack, the G-Station is silent thanks to its liquid cooling, has no messy cabling and generate
no heat inside the room, so it can even be deployed in an office environment. Aurora G-Station is ideal for whoever needs easy high performance everywhere.
2. what is a compute blade?
• Features and benefits of a modular “blade”
system, but designed specifically for the needs of
HPC cluster environment
• Consists of 2 pieces:
• Blade Housing - enclosure to hold the
compute modules, mounted into the rack
cabinet
• Compute Blade Module - complete
independent high-end server that slides into
the Blade Housing
