Boston Limited’s Personal Super Computer is First-of-its-Kind with Liquid Cooled nVidia Tesla and Quadro cards as well as Liquid Cooled CPUs.Asetek and Boston Limited, now in its 18th year as a distribution partner for Super Micro Computer, have unveiled the first personal supercomputer (PSC) to feature all liquid cooled processors. Liquid cooling the PSC’s two Intel Xeon 5590 CPUs, three nVidia Tesla cards and one nVidia Quadro card is accomplished with six independent Asetek cooling loops. The PCS also demonstrates the first application of Asetek’s GPU cooling technology with nVidia Tesla and Quadro cards. Unlike earlier announcements of liquid cooled PSCs that described computers submerged in aquariums full of oil or equipped with consumer grade graphics cards, the Boston Limited…

Convey Computer announced multiple entries on the Graph500 List that double the performance of prior posted results. Convey cited two reasons for the significant performance improvement -- a new "Breadth-First Search" personality and a graph-optimized memory crossbar design. On the most recent list, announced at SC11, multiple Convey single-node, hybrid-core systems clocked in at between 1.60 to 1.76 GTEP/s (billion edges per second) on problem sizes 27 and 28. Convey has a total of six entries on the Graph500 List including submissions from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory/National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (LBL/NERSC), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and Bielefeld University. Compared pound-for-pound and watt-for-watt, Convey's family of reconfigurable (FPGA) systems provide superior processing power on the Graph500 ( www.graph500.org )…
