4-Way 1U Server with Athlon MP. [07/16/2002 11:11 PM]

As I read over here, Angstrom Microsystems dealing with the development and production of rack mount servers has recently shipped the world’s first 4-way 1U server based on AMD Athlon MP CPUs. Since all the contemporary chipsets designed for this platform support only 2 processors, the company decided to install two mainboards into a single case, each supporting 2 Athlon MP 2100+.

Of course, this is far not a classical SMP solution, but a small cluster, though it is the world’s fastest Athlon 1U server. The system is called Quad2100, can be easily modified and is positioned as a solution for complex calculations. According to Angstrom, here belong different scientific fields, work with video streams, and complex 3D graphics.

Due to relatively small size, you will be able to fit up to 168 Athlon MP CPUs into a standard rack this way. The solution like that appears not very expensive and is positioned as a choice for those, who are looking to create high-quality digital content, for instance, for movie studios.
