Solving the Most Demanding Data Intensive Problems
SGI UV 2000 scales to truly extraordinary levels — up to 4,096 threads (256 CPU sockets) and up to 64TB of cache-coherent, global shared memory in a single system. This enables UV to remain highly efficient at scale for diverse set of data- and compute-intensive applications. Supporting these powerful capabilities are the sixth generation NUMAlink® interconnect with very high bandwidth/ low latency topologies and integrated MPI Offload Engine (MOE) technology. So while UV offers world-leading capabilities to support shared memory applications, it also delivers features that optimize distributed applications, for superior performance across the complete dynamic range of high performance computing. The versatility and high performance of UV allows it to solve the world’s toughest computational challenges, whether deployed as an “analysis supernode” in conjunction with a mixed computing environment or used as an independent, standalone system.

Scalable System Size, Configuration Flexibility
The SGI UV 2000 features a modular blade-based packaging design that enables users to optimally size their systems, achieving the correct balance of compute, memory, IO and storage capability. SGI UV 2000 enables scaling a single system starting as small as 8 threads up to a maximum of 4,096 threads. UV is well positioned to scale up as performance requirements grow, preserving the initial
investment along the way. Completing the SGI UV family is the UV 20, a 2U, 4-socket server offering maximum memory per core and full-bandwidth IO expansion capability.

A Truly Open Platform
While SGI UV2000 leads the industry in system scale, it is built upon industry standards. The system’s x86 architecture leverages Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family. This allows for the use of unmodified SUSE® Linux® Enterprise Server or Red Hat® Enterprise Linux operating system. But the impact only grows from there, as the x86 application ecosystem is unrivaled by any other. This makes UV as ideal for running standard ISV, community or open source applications as it is for custom codes. SGI also assures fastest time to results by providing a complete development and run-time software solution, ensuring that users can take full advantage of the performance capability of the SGI UV platform.

Flexible System Expansion and Storage Capabilities
Industry-standard PCIe Gen3 expansion slots open up countless possibilities for fast data access or very-high bandwidth data movement with seamless support for industry-standard networking and storage. This means full support for the entire SGI InfiniteStorage line of RAID, NAS, SAN, Storage Servers, MAID and tape libraries – along with a rich set of InfiniteStorage software, including its clustered file system CXFS™, as well as XFS®, DMF™, XVM®, and backup and restore solutions.
SGI UV 2000 also supports scalable graphics and accelerator cards, including NVIDIA® Quadro®, NVIDIA® Tesla® K20 GPU computing accelerator and Intel® Xeon® Phi™ coprocessor. Taking all of these advantages into account, it is clear whySGI UV is such a versatile solution for a wide range or usage.
