The Aurora G-Station and Aurora Cube are supercomputers in a box. Equipped with the latest Intel and Nvidia processors, they offers extraordinary power to process the heaviest computational loads in: computer graphics and digital media scientific computing industrial applications (EDA, CAE, signal processing...) business applications (computational finance, cyber security, forensic...) software development. The Aurora G-Station is a supercomputer in a box. Small and compact, easily deployable with no need of infrastructure and extensive HPC knowledge. Available in different configurations, pre-loaded with the software stack, the G-Station is silent thanks to its liquid cooling, has no messy cabling and generate no heat inside the room, so it can even be deployed in an office environment. Aurora G-Station is ideal for whoever needs easy high performance everywhere.

The Aurora G-Station and Cube
The Aurora G-Station and Aurora Cube
are supercomputers in a box.
Equipped with the latest Intel and Nvidia
processors, they offers extraordinary
power to process the heaviest
computational loads.
 Industrial applications (EDA, CAE,
CFD, signal processing...)
 Digital media (rendering)
 Scientific computing
 computational finance, cyber
security, forensic...
 Multicore software development

3. Eurotech departmental HPC systems
Bridge the HPC skills gap
The Aurora G-Station and Aurora
Cube are appliance ready.
Eurotech can configure their departmental
systems with all of the software (operating
system and middleware) needed to make
them “application” ready
 Build appliances that fully leverage
all Aurora benefits
 Let users concentrate on their
domain and core business
 Provide HPC ready to go solutions
that bridge the HPC skills shortage

4. Eurotech departmental HPC systems
Compact and powerful
Features and value
Accelerate applications
 Full supercomputing functionality in a box
 High speed interconnects
No fans, no noise
 Water cooling allows silent operations
Easy to deploy
 No need for a controlled environment
 Same installation complexity of a split air conditioner
Save space
 Fit under a desk up to 384 CPU cores
Save energy
 Based on the most efficient architecture in the world
(over 3.4 GFlop/s per Watt)
Reliable
 Leverages Eurotech competences in making bomb
proof devices
Effective workstation replacement
 Support for remote visualization

5. Eurotech departmental HPC systems
Energy efficiency
Save more than 50% of
energy
Limit air conditioning
Limit fans
Best energy efficiency
Water cooling
Example: an 8 kW installation
An installation of 8kW of IT equipment and Eurotech cooling can save
 Between 1.6kW and 2.4 kW for better energy efficiency (no fans, liquid
cooling, energy efficient design…)
 Between 5 to 7 kW of air conditioning
Compared to a standard air cooled solution based on clusters or
workstations
This means more than 30,000 € for 4 years hardware lifespan
