Boston unveil their revolutionary second generation SuperFlex Blade™ appliance at EAGE 2011 which supports 20 of NVIDIA’s new Tesla M2090 GPU accelerators.

Through both the use and optimization of NVIDIA’s Tesla M2090 GPU accelerators within this new platform, users have reported significant performance increases of between 20-30% in seismic interpretation and reverse time migration over NVIDIA’s previous generation of Tesla compute technologies. The new Tesla M2090 GPU accelerators now have new and improved features with an increase in processing power to 512 CUDA processing cores, increased GPU clock speed and an increase in memory bandwidth to 178GB/second to reduce memory bottlenecks alongside with numerous other features whilst remarkably all operating within the same power envelope as their previous generation of product.

“The oil and gas community has very demanding requirements on high performance and low power”, said Sumit Gupta, Product Lead, Tesla high performance computing at NVIDIA. “The GPU SuperFlex Blade coupled with NVIDIA Tesla M2090 GPUs delivers both of these in an efficient and scalable solution”.
