2-Teraflop SuperServer 6016T-GF Series with Dual Nehalem CPUs and Two
Non-Blocking PCI-E x16 Gen 2 slots for Two Double-Width GPUs

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized, high performance server
solutions, is introducing the fastest 1U server on the planet this week at
Computex (booth N806, Nangang Upper Exhibition Hall).  As the first 1U
multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) system with a fully non-blocking
architecture, Supermicro's new 2-Teraflop SuperServer 6016T-GF Series features
dual Nehalem processors and two Gen2 PCI-Express x16 interfaces to support two
double-width GPUs.

"Our 6016T-GF SuperServers are by far the fastest 1U servers in the world,"
said Charles Liang, CEO and President of Supermicro.  "Featuring advancements
such as multiple x16 non-blocking native Gen2 PCI-Express connectivity, highly
reliable thermal optimization, and industry-leading power efficiency,
Supermicro has developed the world's first truly optimized GPU-based servers."

"The importance of GPU Computing in both research and enterprise is growing
rapidly," said Andy Keane, general manager, GPU Computing, NVIDIA.
"Supermicro's new Tesla-based 1U server is tightly integrated to provide the
highest possible compute density and a uniform building block for large-scale
GPU Computing deployments."

The SuperServer 6016T-GF Series is the first of an entire family of GPU-based
systems created to meet the requirements of the emerging high-performance,
highly-parallel computing segment.  By the end of June, Supermicro will launch
a 4U/tower system that supports four double-width GPUs.  These platforms
feature Supermicro's new Gold level (93% efficiency) power subsystems and
deliver breakthrough performance-per-watt.  More information on Supermicro's
new GPU-optimized product line is available at
www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/gpu.cfm.

This new family of highly parallel, multi-core, multi-GPU systems is an
exceptional choice for a wide range of graphics and computationally intensive
applications in fields like medical imaging, oil and gas exploration, quantum
chemistry, financial simulation, 3D ultrasound and astrophysics.  In general,
these systems are expected to make the fastest teraflop clusters much more
affordable and accessible for researchers throughout the world.
