SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
-- NVIDIA HGX A100 4-GPU Platform and Resource-saving 2U 2-Node GPU System with
3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing,
storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announces new
systems based on NVIDIA(R) Ampere architecture GPUs and 3rd Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable processors with built-in AI accelerators (Supermicro X12 series).
These servers are designed for demanding AI applications where low latency and
high application performance are essential. The 2U NVIDIA HGX(TM) A100 4-GPU
system is suited for deploying modern AI training clusters at scale with
high-speed CPU-GPU and GPU-GPU interconnect. The Supermicro 2U 2-Node system
reduces energy usage and costs by sharing power supplies and cooling fans,
reducing carbon emissions, and supports a range of discrete GPU accelerators,
which can be matched to the workload. Both of these systems include advanced
hardware security features that are enabled by the latest Intel Software Guard
Extensions (Intel SGX).

"Supermicro engineers have created another extensive portfolio of
high-performance GPU-based systems that reduce costs, space, and power
consumption compared to other designs in the market," said Charles Liang,
president and CEO, Supermicro. "With our innovative design, we can offer
customers NVIDIA HGX A100 (code name Redstone) 4-GPU accelerators for AI and
HPC workloads in dense 2U form factors. Also, our 2U 2-Node system is uniquely
designed to share power and cooling components which reduce OPEX and the impact
on the environment."
The 2U NVIDIA HGX A100 server is based on the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable
processors with Intel Deep Learning Boost technology and is optimized for
analytics, training, and inference workloads. The system can deliver up to 2.5
petaflops of AI performance, with four A100 GPUs fully interconnected with
NVIDIA NVLink(R), providing up to 320GB of GPU memory to speed breakthroughs in
enterprise data science and AI. The system is up to 4x faster than the previous
generation GPUs for complex conversational AI models like BERT large inference
and delivers up to 3x performance boost for BERT large AI training.
In addition, the advanced thermal and cooling designs make these systems ideal
for high-performance clusters where node density and power efficiency are
priorities. Liquid cooling is also available for these systems, resulting in
even more OPEX savings. Intel Optane(TM) Persistent Memory (PMem) is also
supported on this platform, enabling significantly larger models to be held in
memory, close to the CPU, before processing on the GPUs. For applications that
require multi-system interaction, the system can also be equipped with four
NVIDIA ConnectX(R)-6 200Gb/s InfiniBand cards to support GPUDirect RDMA with a
1:1 GPU-to-DPU ratio.
The new 2U 2-Node is an energy-efficient resource-saving architecture designed
for each node to support up to three double-width GPUs. Each node also features
a single 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor with up to 40 cores and built-in
AI and HPC acceleration. A wide range of AI, rendering, and VDI applications
will benefit from this balance of CPUs and GPUs. Equipped with Supermicro's
advanced I/O Module (AIOM) expansion slots for fast and flexible networking
capabilities, the system can also process massive data flow for demanding AI/ML
applications, deep learning training, and inferencing while securing the
workload and learning models. It is also ideal for multi-instance high-end
cloud gaming and many other compute-intensive VDI applications. In addition,
Virtual Content Delivery Networks (vCDNs) will be able to satisfy increasing
demands for streaming services. Power supply redundancy is built-in, as either
node can use the adjacent node's power supply in the event of a failure.
