A new generation of supercomputer which is compact, energy efficient and faster than the most powerful computer on earth.
 
 
With 448 processor cores per rack, the new Power 575® offers more than five times the performance of its predecessor, and thanks to advanced water cooling and 4.7-Ghz POWER6 processor cores, is three times more energy efficient per rack. The system supports very large clusters and enables extreme performance in dense packaging. A single rack features 14 2U nodes, each with 32, 4.7-Ghz cores of POWER6, a stunning 3.5 TeraBytes of memory, and yet is more energy efficient than traditional air-cooled designs. At 600 GFlops per node, the Power 575 is three times more energy-efficient in GFlops per kilowatt than the POWER5® generation of air-cooled processors.
