HPE Server Solutions — Question 22

A customer is planning a multi-threaded HPC solution that would benefit from threads running in parallel.
The architect selects the HPE Apollo 6000 and needs to choose between the HPE XL230a and the XL250a compute tray.
What is one reason for choosing the XL250a tray?

Answer options

• A. The HPE XL250a server supports DDR4 HPE Smart Memory.
• B. The HPE XL250a server supports dual accelerators.
• C. The HPE XL250a server provides full length PCIe expansion slots.
• D. The HPE XL250a server delivers dual processor performance.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the support for dual accelerators allows for enhanced computational capabilities, which is advantageous for multi-threaded applications. Options A, C, and D, while beneficial, do not specifically address the need for parallel processing capabilities that dual accelerators provide.
