SGI Virtu is a computer product line from Silicon Graphics dedicated to visualization, announced in April 2008.[1] It represents a return of Silicon Graphics to the visualization market after several years of focus on high-performance computing.
SGI Virtu workstations effectively replaced the SGI Fuel, SGI Tezro and SGI Prism workstations that were discontinued in 2006.
The Virtu range consists of a rack-mounted server configuration (Virtu VN200) and four workstation configurations (Virtu VS series). The latter are re-badged systems from , based on Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors and Nvidia Quadro graphics chipsets, running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Windows Compute Cluster Server.[2]
SGI Virtu VN200[]
SGI Virtu VN200 is a high density node installed in a rack-mounted enclosure.[3] Five nodes are supported in the 4U enclosure.
The node itself is based on a two-way Intel Xeon 5400 architecture and supports Nvidia Quadro graphic cards and is intended to be clustered.
SGI Virtu VS[]
The SGI Virtu VS series are the workstation models of the product line. Virtu VS100 is based on a two-way Quad Core Intel Xeon architecture. Virtu VS200 is a two-way AMD Opteron configuration, Virtu VS300 a four-way AMD Opteron and Virtu VS350 is an eight-way AMD Opteron configuration. All systems accept the full range of Nvidia Quadro Plex and Nvidia Quadro graphic solutions. NVIDIA SLI is supported.
