High Performance Computer (HPC) systems maker SGI announces that its servers are now available with Nvidia's Tesla K20 family of GPU accelerators.

According to the company, the K20 can be integrated in SGI's UV 2000 computer, which supports up to 4,096 cores and 64 TB of coherent main memory, as well as the smaller SGI UV 20 that tops out at 1.5 TB of memory, the company's SGI Rackable twin-socket Intel Xeon servers, as well as the ICE X blade server.

SGI offers both the Tesla K20 as well as the flagship K20X, which provide a double-precision floating point performance of 1.17 and 1.31 teraflops, respectively.

SGI previously also announced the availability of Intel's Xeon Phi co-processor for Rackable servers, the UV 20, as well as UV 2000 and ICE X systems.
