HP Z840 Workstation

Configure Your HP Z840 Workstation

  • Processor

    The HP Z840 supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600v3 and E5-2600v4 series processors for the ultimate performance. The Hyper-Threading support allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core -- Windows recognizes 88 total cores on the Z840, 44 real and 44 virtual. It also supports "Turbo Boost" which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload - so if an application is only using one of the 88 cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores.

    If you are not sure your whether projects will take advantage of an extra processor (or the additional cores), the HP Z840 optional second processor addition allows you to purchase the workstation with one processor and add a second processor later if you realize it will improve your workflow. Similarly, if you are on a budget, the HP Z840 offers the benefit of purchasing with a single processor at a lower price; then, adding a second matching processor at a later day.

    Graphics Accelerator

    GPU-accelerated computing is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU) together with a CPU to accelerate scientific, analytics, engineering, consumer, and enterprise applications. GPU-accelerated computing offers application performance by offloading compute-intensive portions of the application to the GPU, while the remainder of the code still runs on the CPU. From a user's perspective, applications simply run significantly faster.

    "Solve your most demanding High-Performance Computing (HPC) challenges with NVIDIA Tesla family of GPUs. They’re built on the NVIDIA Kepler™ compute architecture and powered by NVIDIA CUDA®, the world’s most pervasive parallel computing model. This makes them ideal for delivering record acceleration and more efficient compute performance for big data applications in fields including seismic processing; computational biology and chemistry; weather and climate modeling; image, video and signal processing; computational finance, computational physics; CAE and CFD; and data analytics." -NVIDIA
