Nor-Tech Pioneers Low-Cost Supercomputer Solution

Nor-Tech (Northern Computer Technologies), the leading provider of HPCs for CAE and related applications, recently engineered a game-changing low-cost supercomputer configuration that reduces the HPC purchase cost by 2/3 to 3/4 (about $20,000 less for an 8 GPU server). The solution is a good fit for nearly all, but not all organizations. For over a decade, the technology community has been aware that consumer grade GPUs perform as well, and in some cases better than commercial grade GPUs at a price that is anywhere from 2/3 to 3/4 less. The main sticking point has been the traditional supercomputer chassis configuration, which only accommodates the significantly more expensive commercial grade GPUs. This puts GPU supercomputers out of the price range of most organizations—including some research institutions that need extraordinary processing power, but have budget constraints.
