Overview

GPU-Xpander for Rendering Farms

Are you looking at NVIDIA CUDA-based rendering applications such as Mental Images iRay, Bunkspeed SHOT, Refractive Software's Octane Render, or Random Control's Arion? Is the prospect of investing in all new PC hardware capable of supporting multiple GPUs a budget-busting investment, or are you not yet ready move completely away from software-based rendering?

GPU-Xpander Rackmount is the perfect solution for adding multiple, high-performance NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU cards to blade servers or 1U render farm workstations which have at least 1 open PCI Express slot - even if the space for the card is only enough for low-profile cards! Enhance your current render farm hardware configuration by adding 1-4 full-sized PCI Express GPU cards to each blade server or 1U rackmount workstation render node.

When you're ready to maximize the number of GPUs per workstation, add Cubix's XpanderBlade and attach up to 8 NVIDIA GeForce, Quadro, or Tesla Series cards to each Cubix XpanderBlade.



GPU-Xpander for Game Developers

Whether you work independently as a subcontractor in the gaming industry, or you work directly for a large game developer, you're constantly refreshing hardware technology in order to meet the clients' appetite for ever-increasing realism and project deadlines which are getting shorter and shorter. Whether you're working on tower PC workstation hardware, or the latest Apple® Mac Pro, Cubix has a GPU expansion product to meet your application needs.

GPU-Xpander Desktop is the perfect GPU system solution to share between 2-4 artists.

GPU-Xpander Desktop complements Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya installations by providing linearly-scaled, multi-GPU rendering performance to even the most complex scenes and animations. If your budget is limited, you can add a GPU-Xpander host bus adapter to each workstation in the office, and move the GPU-Xpander unit to each artist as they need GPU acceleration for their projects.



GPU-Xpander for Transcoding, Non-Linear Editing (NLE)

The GPU-accelerated transcoding market just got a huge boost from none other than Adobe® with their Mercury Playback Engine, a critical component of Adobe's new Creative Suite 5. GPU-Xpander is an ideal hardware add-on product for CS5 because:

  • GPU-Xpander Desktop is available with a choice of NVIDIAR CUDA-enabled GPUs certified by Adobe for use as GPU-accelerators with CS5
  • Xpander provides an additional 1-4 PCIe x 16 slots for an Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance, OpenGL 2.0+ display card, Adobe-recommended audio/video capture card, etc.,.
  • Xpander provides users a level of added fault-tolerance with its auto-ranging 750W power supply dedicated specifically to the I/O adapters configured within it


GPU-Xpander for Math, Statistics, Image Processing, Signal Processing, and Optimization

Are you in a Life Sciences industry researching cures for viruses or lethal pathogens? A Bio-Chemistry (Molecular Dynamics / Quantum Chemistry) researcher using applications such as AMBER, NAMD, GROMACS, LAMMPS, TeraChem, or VMD? Maybe you work in the medical industry looking for ways to increase computing performance while decreasing latency for MRI or CT imaging applications.

Chances are you're either contemplating GPGPU technologies, or you've already begun to migrate legacy CPU-intensive applications to GPU Compute using products from CUDA developers such as Acceleware or Accelereyes, both of which rely upon on scalable, high-performance GPU cards for performance gains of 20X-50X over CPUs alone. If your particular application is multi GPU-enabled, the most cost effective means of immediately increasing your HPC TFlops is to add Cubix's GPU-Xpander Desktop or GPU-Xpander Rackmount systems with 2 or more NVIDIA Quadro or Tesla Series GPU cards to your existing workstation or server.

GPU-Xpander for Cloud Computing

Are you taking advantage of recent developments in thin-client server technologies from Microsoft, Citrix, VMWare and Teradici? Enhance these recent I/O technology advances by adding GPU-Xpander Rackmount systems to your existing blade server farms and other rackmount servers featuring at least 1 open PCIe slot.



GPU-Xpander for Finance

Are you using CUDA-enabled trading, modeling, or forecasting applications from companies such as Cluster Technology, Volmaster, iVolatility.com, and other GPGPU technology vendors? Cubix GPU-Xpander Desktop and GPU-Xpander Rackmount systems are the most cost-effective solutions available for adding more NVIDIA Tesla, Quadro, or GeForce Series GPU cards to your current financial and trading systems. Add more slots, watts, and HPC power to your existing systems for less money!
