Azinta Systems Launches GPU-Accelerated Analytics Cloud Service

Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- "The Azinta GPU-Accelerated Analytics cloud service is designed for those domain experts who want massive speed-ups in the execution of their econometrics, risk management, data mining and quantitative finance models and algorithms" said Suleiman Shehu, CEO of Azinta Systems.
           
"With the GPU-Accelerated Analytics cloud domain experts will be able to concentrate on developing their  Matlab, R, Python, Mathematica risk, pricing and data mining algorithms whilst Azinta provides the dedicated secure GPU hosting environment together with GPU integration and development support services"

Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have now transformed those applications that require complex computational processing and offer businesses the ability to gain a competitive advantage due speed-ups of up to 1000x for their data mining, pricing and risk management algorithms.

The Azinta GPU-Accelerated Cloud offering includes the following hosting, GPU development and consultancy services:

Dedicated GPU Hosting Service: The     Azinta GPU-Accelerated Cloud service is powered by PEER 1 Hosting GPU  Cloud and is based on NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPUs.

Each hybrid CPU-GPU  node contains:
2 x M2050 GPUs  (Fermi GPU each with 448 cores and 3GB GDDR5 RAM)
2 x Intel Xeon 5220 CPU (each CPU has 32GB RAM)
2 x 300GB HDD
Windows or Linux OS
1 Gb/s inter-node network
   
Users can specify their own dedicated hosted GPU cluster size based on any number of nodes. Monthly and annual payment plans are available.
