"Our collaboration with NVIDIA enables us to design a complete portfolio of GPU

systems and platforms empowering maximum customer choice. Customers can exactly

match their workload requirements to system architecture to achieve superior

scale, performance, efficiency, and cost," said Charles Liang, president and

CEO, Supermicro. "Supermicro offers multi-GPU optimized systems that deliver

advanced solutions to AI, Deep Learning, HPC, and video streaming applications.

Leveraging our building block solutions and our time-to-market advantage, we

continue developing and releasing application-optimized solutions. Our flexible

2U 2-node GPU system with PCIe 4.0 is tuned for cloud gaming and social media

and leads the industry with support for up to three double-width or six

single-width GPUs per node."

The breadth of Supermicro's systems includes the flagship Intel-based

SYS-420GP-TNAR or the AMD-based AS -4124GO-NART(+), featuring the  4U Server

powered by the NVIDIA HGX A100 8-GPU board, with the option of either 40GB

(HBM2) or 80GB (HBM2e) of memory on each GPU. These systems are currently

shipping worldwide.

"From AI-powered drug discovery to designing advanced, efficient factories,

accelerated computing is essential to powering the most innovative work in the

world today," said Justin Boitano, vice president and general manager,

Enterprise and Edge Computing at NVIDIA. "Supermicro's NVIDIA-Certified Systems

provide customers with a broad range of servers built to deliver top

performance for AI, graphics and simulation workloads across the data center,

to the cloud, to the edge."

The new systems can run various advanced application workloads, including the

NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite, which is optimized and certified by NVIDIA

to run on VMware vSphere, and  NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise an end-to-end

real-time simulation and collaboration platform bringing transformative 3D

workflows to organizations of every scale. Supermicro is showcasing these

performance-leading solutions at the NVIDIA GTC21 conference this week.

From the Edge to the Cloud, AI, ML, HPC, and 3D visualization are becoming

critical technologies necessary for all organizations and industries to

embrace. Developing systems and delivering platforms that incorporate the

latest hardware and software allows a range of enterprises to quickly get

productive and implement their latest solutions, with a range of form factors.

Supermicro is a leading participant in the NVIDIA-Certified Systems program,

which validates the hardware and software configurations needed for maximum

productivity. These systems can handle massive amounts of data with advanced

networking, allowing for complex models to be developed and incorporate new AI

and other advanced algorithms. 3D visualization enables better comprehension of

physical reality, while graphics virtualization enables IT administrators to

consolidate systems infrastructure and centralize and secure their data.

NVIDIA-Certified Systems allow for easy and fast deployment in the data center.

Supermicro also leads the industry with NEBS Level 3-certified GPU servers for

5G and telco customers.

Consistently first-to-market, Supermicro supports the latest hardware and

software solutions from NVIDIA. The range of supported GPUs includes the NVIDIA

A100 80GB, A100 40GB, A40, RTX A6000, A30, A10, and A16 GPUs, aiming at AI

Inference and mainstream computing, mainstream graphics and video, and virtual

desktops, all with AI technologies. All NVIDIA products are available across a

wide range of Supermicro systems that use 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable

Processors or 3rd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs. With Supermicro's design excellence, more

GPUs are packaged into less space (higher density) than other system suppliers.

All of these new GPU systems are NVIDIA-Certified or are currently undergoing

certification.
