Lowell Observatory Looks for Habitable Exoplanets with GIGABYTE Servers

Arizona’s Lowell Observatory is studying the Sun with GIGABYTE’s G482-Z50 GPU Server in an effort to filter out “stellar noise” when looking for habitable planets outside of our Solar System. The server’s AMD EPYC™ processors, parallel computing capabilities, excellent scalability, and industry-leading stability are all features that qualify it for this astronomical task, making the discovery of a true “Twin Earth” achievable within our lifetime.

“Downloading” Data from the Sun to GIGABYTE’s GPU Server

The 70-millimeter Lowell Observatory Solar Telescope is installed on the roof of an auxiliary building near its larger sibling, the 4.3-meter Lowell Discovery Telescope. An 80M optic fiber cable transmits the sunlight from the Solar Telescope to the EXPRES, which ultimately converts the light into useful Doppler data with the aid of the G482-Z50.

One: Top-notch processing power suitable for parallel computing

The G482-Z50 is a 4U 10-Node G-Series GPU Server that packs a wallop of computing power and excels at parallel computing. With its excellent scalability and stability, it is the ideal solution to help Lowell Observatory find the common signature of stars.
Two: Industry-leading scalability
Three: Designed to ensure system stability

It’s (almost) always sunny in Flagstaff, Arizona. Around three hundred days a year, weather conditions allow the Lowell Observatory Solar Telescope to “download” up to 50GB of raw data from the Sun. About 10TB of accumulated data is being worked on at any given moment. (Images provided by Lowell Observatory)

GIGABYTE’s ARM Server Boosts Development of Smart Traffic Solution by 200%
A team of scientists at NTU has adopted GIGABYTE’s G242-P32 server and the Arm HPC Developer Kit to incubate a “high-precision traffic flow model”—a smart traffic solution that can be used to test autonomous vehicles and identify accident-prone road sections for immediate redress. The ARM-based solution gives the project a 200% boost in efficiency, thanks to the cloud-native processor architecture that “speaks” the same coding language as the roadside sensors, the high number of CPU cores that excel at parallel computing, the synergy with GPUs that enable heterogeneous computing, and the ISO certifications which make the resulting model easily deployable for automakers and government regulators alike.
