SAN JOSE, Calif., June 28, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- High Performance 200G Networking Accelerates HPC and AI Applications

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a global leader in enterprise

computing, storage, networking, and green computing technology, announces a

wide range of Supermicro servers will support the latest NVIDIA technologies.

Both 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors or 3rd Gen AMD EPYC(TM)

processor-based servers will be available that incorporate the new NVIDIA(R)

A100 80GB PCIe Tensor Core GPUs. With these new technologies, Supermicro

systems will speed up HPC simulations and analytics applications. Moreover, AI

applications, including training, inference, and recommendation engines, will

run faster than previous generations of systems.

Supermicro servers, designed with a Building Block Solutions(R) approach, give

Supermicro a first to market advantage when incorporating new technologies.

State-of-the-art accelerated computing options can be quickly integrated and

tested, bringing faster and more powerful systems to demanding customers

quicker than other vendors.

"Supermicro has a long history of bringing systems supporting the latest NVIDIA

products to market faster than other server manufacturers," said Charles Liang,

president, and CEO, Supermicro. "The new products from NVIDIA will give our

customers the ability to solve complex HPC and AI challenges much faster than

before, decreasing their TCO. We continually bring application-optimized

servers with the latest technologies available, such as our GPU and

SuperBlade(R) systems, to help accelerate customer's HPC and AI workloads."

The new NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB GPU will enable faster execution of AI and HPC

applications, as bigger models can be stored in the GPU memory. In addition,

future systems will include networking between high-performance servers with

current and future InfiniBand capabilities.

The GPU SuperServer SYS-420GP-TNR with dual 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable

processors supports up to ten single or double width GPUs, including the new

NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe GPUs. Also, the AS -4124GS-TNR server contains dual AMD

EPYC 7003 processors with up to eight single or double width GPUs, with the new

NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe GPUs. These new 80GB GPUs from NVIDIA will enable more

extensive data sets to be held in memory, accelerating

computationally-intensive HPC and AI applications.

"Supercomputing has the potential to transform entire industries and help solve

some of the toughest problems they face," said Dion Harris, lead technical

product marketing manager, accelerated computing at NVIDIA. "The extreme

performance of the NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe Tensor Core GPUs and NVIDIA NDR

InfiniBand supported by Supermicro servers provides researchers with the

unparalleled acceleration required to pursue the toughest industrial HPC

challenges in the world."

Multiple NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe devices can be installed in a range of

Supermicro systems, allowing for flexible AI computing. By implementing

NVIDIA's Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology, organizations can guarantee a

high quality of service for single applications and as a service for multiple

users concurrently. In addition, with the larger memory available, data will

not have to be moved between CPU memory and GPU memory, allowing for higher GPU

utilization.

Leveraging NVIDIA NDR 400Gb/s InfiniBand technology with In-Networking

Computing, networking tasks are offloaded, enabling a dramatic leap in

performance is enabled, which is required for HPC, AI, and hyperscale cloud

infrastructures. The new networking performance will allow applications

designed to run on multiple systems, such as the Supermicro SuperBlade and

BigTwin(R) servers, to produce results faster, enabling new insights into

complex problems. Integrated systems combining industry-leading cards, cables,

and switches on a complex HPC application will soon be able to share data and

communicate twice as fast as before.

Customers worldwide use Supermicro systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs to tackle

some of the world's most challenging problems. For example, SZTAKI, the

Institute for Computer Science and Control, uses NVIDIA HGX(TM) A100-powered

servers to perform AI research in medical processing, machine learning, and

language processing.
