ASUS Sets 246 World Records for Fastest 1P and 2P Server Performance
2019/08/19
Complete lineup of record-breaking, configurable servers is designed for seamless scalability and intensive computing workloads
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug 19, 2019 ASUS,
a leading server systems, server motherboards, workstation and workstation
motherboards provider, today announced that a total of 246 world records have
been set by its rack servers, including GPGPU (general-purpose computing on
graphics processing units) servers and multi-node servers. As recorded by the
Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) for benchmarks measuring
computing-intensive performance, ASUS dual-processor (2P) servers ESC8000 G4 and
RS720Q-E9 achieved the highest scores for compute-intensive applications, and the
ASUS single-processor (1P) RS300-E10 server set 70 new best-performance records.
Each of the new, record-breaking configurable ASUS servers are designed to be
highly scalable and to work seamlessly for infrastructure visualization, data
analysis, AI training workloads or any general computing applications.
ASUS GPGPU server ESC8000 G4 achieves the
world’s best performance
ESC8000
G4 is a 4U GPGPU series 2P server with support for up to eight double-deck
graphics cards for AI training, high-performance computing (HPC), content
creation, rendering, gaming, VR and AR, and professional visualization
applications. Its patented adaptable topology design allows it to automatically
switch to single- or dual-root topologies through ASMB9-iKVM, making it ideal
for AI learning or High Performance Computing environments. ESC8000 G4 holds 64
world records for compute-intensive applications across SPEC CPU® 2017
benchmark packages SPECint 2017 rate and SPECfp 2017.
RS720Q-E9,
a 2U4N high-density 2P server, set a record of 97 benchmarks for
compute-intensive applications across SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmarks packages SPECint
2017 rate and SPECfp 2017. RS720Q-E9 is designed for processing-intensive environments
such as data center and private cloud applications. It supports two to eight
processors (28 cores per processor) and 48 DIMMs for up to 6 TB of memory.
All
ASUS servers that achieve the world-record 2P performance results are based on 1st
and 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® scalable processors.
ASUS servers set 246 performance benchmark world
records
ASUS
has over 23 years of expertise in the server industry and a dedicated team of
engineers specializing in server hardware design, software/firmware
integration, and performance tuning and optimization for a broad range of
applications. The record-setting performance of these new ASUS servers
underscores the ASUS commitment to pursuing continuous system optimization and
performance tuning to deliver solutions of the highest quality. As of August 1,
2019, ASUS servers have set 246 performance benchmark records.
ASUS 1P server sets 70 performance benchmark
world records
RS300-E10,
a 1U 1P server with up to four Ethernet LAN ports, storage expansions and
ASUS-exclusive Performance Boost technology, set 70 world records across SPEC
CPU® 2017 benchmark packages SPECint 2017 and SPECfp 2017. The Intel® Xeon® E processor
at the heart of the RS300-E10 delivers up to 1.36X higher performance, versus the
previous generation. The combination of two additional cores and higher
single-core turbo frequency increases performance across workstation benchmarks
as compared with previous 4-core entry workstation processors. The short-depth
chassis design of the RS300-E10 is the perfect space-saving solution for small
or medi
