Lenovo slims down entry-level workstation with ThinkStation E31 Small Form Factor
Published 16 May 2012
Posted by Greg Corke

ThinkStation E31 SFF: workstation class technology in a small form factor.
If you’re struggling to work out where on Earth you’d put the colossus of a machine that is the SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF, don’t fret. Lenovo has just introduced a much more manageable machine, the ThinkStation E31.
The ThinkStation E31 is actually two workstations in one – a standard mini tower version, available in June, and a small form factor (SFF) configuration, coming in July. Both machines feature the Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2 (Sandy Bridge) or 3rd Generation Intel Core i7 (Ivy Bridge) processors. Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory is also available.

SuperMicro takes GPU compute to new levels with Nvidia Maximus-enabled SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF
Published 15 May 2012
Posted by Greg Corke

Workstation by name, GPU compute server by nature: the SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF features an incredible four Nvidia Tesla C2075 GPUs, perfect for iRay enabled rendering applications.
It may be a workstation by name, but SuperMicro’s specialist high-end SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF is really a GPU compute server with high-end professional graphics.
Two Xeon E5-2600 processors, up to 512MB of DDR3 1600MHz ECC registered memory and a high-end Nvidia Quadro GPU is pretty much standard fare for any high-end Sandy Bridge Xeon workstation, but the SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF takes things up a notch when it comes to GPU compute.

Design BUZZ - prizes update!
Published 15 May 2012
Posted by Stephen Holmes

As you might have noticed, we’ve launched our very first design competition - open for everyone to enter - to create modern tools for beekeepers, with some splendid prizes for the winners.
Not only will the winning design be made into a 3D physical prototype by the good people at IPF, but there are also a range of prizes up for grabs for the winner and two runners up, including having a stake in your very own beehive without actually getting your hands sticky through the British Beekeepers Association’s ‘Adopt a Beehive’ initiative.
Further prizes now include a first prize of a NVIDIA Quadro 2000 graphics card by PNY, a Mid-range professional graphics solution with 1GB of GDDR5 memory for fast processing of complex models and scenes. Meanwhile PNY have also offered a runner up prize of an NVIDIA Quadro 600, an entry-level professional graphics solution with 1GB of DDR3 memory.
