"The World's Fastest 32x Core 1U HPC Mini Cluster!" 
Introducing our HPC218-Quad, our 2U 32x CPU Core Mini HPC Compute Cluster. A Powerful & Energy Efficient 2U Rack Mounted HPC System that has been designed to reduce compute time and improve project time to market. Powered by EIGHT (8x) Intel® Xeon 5500 'Nehalem' Series Quad-Core CPU's for the fastest, most powerful computing experience.
Why wait to solve complex problems or process larger data sets? Here at Workstation Specialists we recognise the need for performance is increasing all the time. That’s why we'd developed an innovative range of scaleable HPC (High Performance Computing) solutions that maximise performance, improve throughput and add new embedded technologies; giving business, creative and scientific professionals the hardware tools they need to solve todays intensive computing challenges.
An innovative new CPU micro-architecture from Intel® represents the next step in unprecedented processor performance and dynamic project scalability. Our HPC218 solutions (Standard, Duo, GPU or Quad) have been specially engineered from the ground up to take full advantage of this, allowing Scientific and Research professionals to benefit from the world's fastest performing compute platforms. All our HPC218 series utilize Intel's Nehalem Micro-architecture for parallel processing performance that has never before been seen in the professional HPCC market place. Combined with integrated intelligent performance, increase I/O bandwidth, cutting edge Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) and support for larger amounts of memory to keep each microprocesor core running at full capacity.
The Intel Nehalem Micro architecture boosts performance even further for mission critical workloads. Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases CPU core frequency (GHz clock speed) to improve the execution speed when needed, whilst Intelligent Power Technology preserves power on unused cores when there is less demand. For applications that support parallel, multithreaded execution, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology has been re-introduced to reduce computational latency, making optimal use of every clock cycle (by allowing the simultaneous execution of 16x application threads).
Our HPC218-Quad Mini HPC Compute Clusters help maximize productivity, enhance visualisation and improve flexibility to allow researchers, engineers and developers achieve more in less time.
