Fast and Cool: New Tigon HPC Unveiled

The new Aurora Tigon supercomputer is the first in the market that applies liquid cooling directly to both Intel Xeon 5 processors and Intel Xeon Phi 5120D Phi coprocessors inside. By cooling water temperature to over 50C degrees, Tigon eliminates the need for data center air cooling.

Created by Eurotech SpA, which specializes in supercomputing and embedded, Tigon was unveiled last week at the International Supercomputer Conference (ISC) in Leipzig, Germany. Early measurements pegged performance at 3 GFlops/Watt and approximately 310 TFlop/s for single rack, with a footprint of approximately 1.5 m2.
