Description

At CoyoteNET Digital System Solutions, the drawing board is always in use. Computers from small to large are designed, validated and built to serve specialized tasks for the music industry. Recently, a workstation named Spanky rolled out to begin working at Walnut Hill Productions as the content creation machine for video and audio captured in the field and on location. This is about as powerful as one can get using socket 1150 Haswell refresh technology. The PC works flawlessly.

It has come to the attention of the company that folks might want many times the capabilities offered by this excellent workstation.  Some people will settle for nothing but the top of the line. Workloads requiring teraflops of computing power are in order for the massive jobs these people do. Thus, CoyoteNET DSS looked into what is possible when wallets are infinitely fat and nothing but the finest components will suffice. In that spirit, we give you a look at a system board which would make any node fan green with envy, dwarfing just about anything out there within reason.

What we have here is the dual socket 2011v3 board from Asus known as the Z10PE-D8 WS Workstation. This magnificent platform has so many features folks might have a hard time not only discovering them all but putting them to use. With two sockets for the Intel Xeon E5 series, it is possible to have as many as 36 cores running on 72 threads! Also, since ECC DDR4 is supported, one can load up the eight RAM slots with up to 512GB of memory clocked at 2GHz. Holy balls...

Feel free to leave your comments about this excellent board. Tell us what you would use it for. Describe what other hardware you would integrate into such a massive machine. Know that this is the most expensive solution CoyoteNET DSS currently offers, so expect some sticker shock if you plan on building your own portable super computer.
