HP Workstation zx6000
The HP Workstation zx6000 holds the price / performance and floating-point performance record, and the bar is about to be set even higher. The latest Intel Itanium 2 6M processor further improves performance up to one and a half times. It can address up to 24 GB of memory via a fast, low-latency memory subsystem. The HP zx6000 is available with a full range of 2D and 3D graphics cards for the most demanding visualization requirements. In its deskside tower configuration, the HP zx6000 is perfect for computeraided engineering (CAE) pre- and post-processing, solvers, mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD), and visualization and image analysis. It is also an excellent cluster node for environments where you need high-performance visualization, or you require a compute node that can later be redeployed to the desktop. Features 1.3 or 1.5 GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors with up to 6 MB of L3 cache: Up to 50% faster performance over the previous Itanium 2 processor generation, which set new floating-point and integer performance records High bandwidth, low latency HP zx1 Chipset: 6.4 GB/s of front side bus bandwidth to the processor, 8.5 GB/s of memory bandwidth combined with less than 80 ns of open page memory system latency, and 3.3 GB/s of I/O bandwidth via independent PCI-X buses offers a high-bandwidth, low-latency system architecture that is well-balanced, ensuring that the data is available when it is needed, unleashing the power of Intel Itanium 2 processors by lowering memory latencies and increasing memory and I/O subsystem scalability
Easily redeployable, from an elegant desktop tower design to a 2U racked workstation: Select the deskside tower option for a powerful workstation that sets new standards for desktop performance and scalability, or alternatively fit 20 ultra-performing graphics cluster nodes into a 2meter rack employing remote management capabilities and fast interconnects Choice of three 64-bit operating systems: HP-UX 11i v2, Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003, or Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1, each offering 32-bit backward compatibility to allow a both a smooth migration and improved longevity of your investment; work with your current code and binaries with our backwardcompatibility options or recompile your applications to maximize performance Able to directly address up to 24 GB of DDR memory: Enables you to open massive multi-million part assemblies and models in the main memory, or achieve inexpensive large memory configurations Professional 2D & 3D graphics: Industry standard graphics from leading vendors ensures the most accurate, high performance display of your models and sets with OpenGL graphics drivers Up to 438 GB of SCSI storage: Choose from three internal Ultra320 SCSI drives at either highspeed and high-capacity 10,000 rpm SCSI (146 GB maximum storage per drive) or extreme performance 15,000 rpm SCSI (73 GB maximum storage per drive)
Stylish looks, ferocious performance
