Supermicro first announced support for NVIDIA HGX(TM) A100 configurations in

May with its new high-density 2U and 4U servers based on the four- and

eight-way NVIDIA HGX A100 boards. With A100 GPUs now also available in PCIe

form factor, customers can expect a major performance boost across Supermicro's

extensive portfolio of multi-GPU servers when they are equipped with the new

NVIDIA A100 GPUs.

"Expanding our industry-leading portfolio of GPU systems with full support for

the new NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs means customers can choose highest performing and

most optimized server based on their specific applications," said Charles

Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "Designed to accelerate a vast range of

compute-intensive applications, our new systems with PCIe Gen 4 deliver fully

optimized support for the new NVIDIA A100 to boost performance up to 20x on

some accelerated workloads."

Supermicro's new 4U A+ GPU system supports up to eight NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs

via direct-attach PCI-E 4.0 x16 CPU-to-GPU lanes without any PCI-E switch for

the lowest latency and highest bandwidth to deliver maximum acceleration. The

system also supports up to two additional high-performance PCI-E 4.0 expansion

slots for a variety of uses, including high-performance networking connectivity

up to 200Gb/s. An additional AIOM slot supports a Supermicro AIOM card or an

OCP NIC 3.0 card. These systems will also be NGC-Ready, providing customers a

seamlessway to develop and deploy their AI workloads at scale. NGC-Ready

systems are validated for functionality and performance for the AI stack from

NVIDIA's NGC registry.

"As the first elastic, multi-instance GPU that unifies training, inference,

HPC, and analytics, the NVIDIA A100 is built to handle workloads of all sizes,"

said Paresh Kharya, Director of Product Marketing of Acclerated Computing at

NVIDIA. "NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPU servers allow customers to tackle some of the

most complex data science, high performance computing and AI challenges."

As the leader in AI system technology, Supermicro offers multi-GPU optimized

thermal designs that provide advanced performance and reliability for AI, Deep

Learning, and HPC applications. With 1U, 2U, 4U, and 10U rackmount GPU systems;

Utra, BigTwin (TM), and embedded systems supporting GPUs; as well as GPU blade

modules for our 8U SuperBlade(R), Supermicro offers the industry's widest and

deepest selection of GPU systems to power applications from edge to cloud.
