JMR showcases CUDA Enabled BlueStor Solution at NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference

JMR Electronics demonstrated a ray tracing and photon mapping visualization application leveraging the power of multiple NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs for partner PNY Technologies as part of the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference. JMR's HPC Server, shown at the conference, contains four NVIDIA Quadro by PNY graphic boards.
“JMR is very excited to offer the NVIDIA Quadro 6000 by PNY with our BlueStor family of server and storage solutions.” said Chuck McMakin, Vice President, Sales and Business Development, JMR. “Our clients in academic, military and commercial research facilities realize the advantage of incorporating 6GB of ECC memory and an amazing 448 CUDA cores within each GPU.”

JMR’s open storage architecture with PCIe connectivity allows for limitless expansion so end users can literally connect hundreds of drive arrays. This combined with the processing power of PNY’s new family of NVIDIA Fermi‐based professional graphics boards provides the ability to match high performance with scalability at levels previously unattainable. From small research labs to massive high performance facilities in multiple arenas-satellite to medical, government to high‐end post, the JMR/PNY partnership is paving the way for end users to take on new challenges and development for the future.

“The new NVIDIA Fermi-based Quadro solutions, with multi-GPU capabilities, more CUDA parallel processing cores and OpenGL 4.1, DirectX 11, DirectCompute and OpenCL support, enable users to richly visualize complex problems by delivering impressive scalable computation and scalable visualization capabilities,” said Jeff Medeiros, Director of Marketing, PNY Technologies. “It’s remarkable technology that continues to lead the industry.”

Now with CUDA support for the X86 platform, developers will have access to more processing power and platforms as well as the GPU technology, leveraging high performance computing into an even larger consumer, professional and scientific audience. Game developers all the way through to scientists working on DNA mapping will benefit from this development.

JMR’s demonstration of the HPC server illustrates the potential of parallel processing using PNY GPU hardware with a focus on scalability advantages offered when deployed in JMR’s BlueStor solutions.
