The Intel® SSD DC S3500 Series combines fast, consistent read
performance with strong data protection and low active power levels to
provide superior quality of service for video conferencing, big data
analytics, or virtual client applications. Consistently low read
latencies of 50µs typical (500µs max for 99.9% of the time) along with a
tight distribution of up to 75,000 input/output per second (IOPS)1
delivers a high-performance, reliable, and efficient SSD specifically
designed for data center application upgrades.
Key features and
benefits of this drive include an Intel® 3rd generation controller,
industry-leading 20nm multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash technology, full
end-to-end data protection, enhanced power-loss data protection, and a
broad range of capacities up to 800GB.

For the past two and half years (and counting) we have been well served by the Platinum DXR platform
(Dual Xeon Romley). This month marks the start of a transition to the latest platform, Platinum DXG, based on the Intel Grantley platform for
dual socket Xeon servers and workstations. The Platinum DXG consists of the Haswell-EP processor (the Intel E5-2600 V3 series introduced in July) and the Wellsburg chipset (Intel C612 platform controller hub).
The new motherboard will take the new LGA 2011-3 socket Xeon E5-26xx V3 processors and provide Quad Channel interleaved DDR4-2133 memory
performance per CPU via 16 DIMM sockets. The new processors scale to 18-cores per socket (that is, up to 72 logical CPUs per system) and will
support up to 1TB of main ECC memory. Overall the improvements are more processing power, faster memory, support for native USB 3.0 and 10 SATA 6Gbps ports onboard.

Compucon CPD Seminar
15 October 2014 Wednesday
Compucon House Albany
4:00 – 4:30pm Parallel Computing Citizen Scientists (TN)
4:30 – 5:15pm Compucon GPU based Systems (TN)
5:15 – 6:00pm Tracking SpaceX for International Space Station (Stuart Weston)
6:00 – 7:30pm Wine and Cheese
Parallel Computing Citizen Scientists
The citizen scientist community and its web forums are developing steadily over time for preparing Compucon channel peers for the next few years of business. Some members are still unsure of how to and why contribute. Fair enough. We do need time to develop some case studies to express the motives and to visualise the benefits. On this occasion, we will introduce one vertical domain application called LiDAR and one government funded university graduate project that will give some propulsion to the development of parallel computing ecosystem. The graduate project is a continuity of the artificial intelligence computer vision project explained in the September seminar. It will continue into the computational phase and we will invite members to share and develop business ideas.
Compucon GPU based Systems
There are 4 categories of GPU systems namely desktop graphics, digital content creation (aka CAD) workstations, digital concept creation (aka HPC) workstations, and a new candidate for industrial PC. Nvidia has released the most powerful desktop graphics card in September and we will explain what it is and how powerful it is. There is no change in CAD and we will skip this category. HPC is a fast development area and we will introduce 2 heavy weights called K40 and 7120P. Lastly Compucon is testing a development board from Nvidia based on ARM CPU and 192 Kepler GPU cores. We intend to install it in an IPC system when we have mastered the technical ecosystem around this card.
Astronomy: Tracking SpaceX for International Space Station
Stuart is a professional software engineer employed by the Institute for Radio Astronomy and Space Research (IRASR) of AUT operating the University’s two radio telescopes at Warkworth. The team at the station does space craft tracking for the real life space programs of SpaceX (low earth orbit), JAXA & Jive (deep space). They just finished a busy week in September tracking for SpaceX with the latest resupply mission to the International Space Station. They are taking a rest and going back to another Very Long Baseline Interferometry project before SpaceX tracking resumes in a few months. Stuart will tell us more about SpaceX and how the station tracks and communicates with the spacecraft. This talk is by the person who does it.
