SAN JOSE, Calif., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Supermicro Is First-To-Market with Servers Incorporating Arctic Sound-M and

Gaudi2; with Gaudi2 Delivering 3X* Generation over Generation Performance

Increase; the Latest Systems are Highlighted at Intel Vision 2022

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

computing, storage, networking, and green computing technology, supports two

new Intel-based accelerators for demanding cloud gaming, media delivery, AI and

ML workloads, enabling customers to deploy the latest acceleration technology

from Intel and Intel Habana.

"Supermicro continues to work closely with Intel and Habana Labs to deliver a

range of server solutions supporting Arctic Sound-M and Gaudi2 that address the

demanding needs of organizations that require highly efficient media delivery

and AI training," said Charles Liang, president and CEO. "We continue to

collaborate with leading technology suppliers to deliver application-optimized

total system solutions for complex workloads while also increasing system

performance."

Supermicro can quickly bring to market new technologies by using a Building

Block Solutions(R) approach to designing new systems. This methodology allows

new GPUs and acceleration technology to be easily placed into existing designs

or, when necessary, quickly adapt an existing design when needed for

higher-performing components.

"Supermicro helps deliver advanced AI and media processing with systems that

leverage our latest Gaudi2 and Arctic Sound-M accelerators," stated Sandra

Rivera, executive vice president and general manager of the Datacenter and AI

Group at Intel. "Supermicro's Gaudi AI Training Server will accelerate deep

learning training in some of the fastest growing workloads in the datacenter."  

Arctic Sound-M

Supermicro systems with the Arctic Sound-M GPUs will address the demanding

requirements in cloud gaming, media transcoding and streaming, virtual desktop

infrastructure (VDI), simulation and visualization, machine learning, and

content creation. With the industry's first hardware AV-1 encoder and open

source media software stack, the Intel Arctic Sound-M dramatically improves

performance compared with software-only video transcoding and delivery

solutions and contains acceleration functions for VDI environments.

The Intel Arctic Sound-M GPUs will initially be available in the 2U 2 Node

single processor Intel system with 3 GPUs per node, the 4U 10xGPU system, and

the CloudDC server, with additional systems to be announced later this year.

The new Supermicro AI Training Servers include dual Intel 3rd Gen Intel Xeon

Scalable processors and eight Habana Gaudi2 accelerators for high-performance

AI training environments.

Habana Labs Gaudi2

The Habana Labs Gaudi2 (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3531523-1&h=3160289175&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.supermicro.com%2Fen%2Fsolutions%2Fhabana-gaudi&a=Gaudi2) excels at a range of workloads that include: vision applications such as

image classification, object detection, Natural Language Processing (NLP)

models, and recommendation systems. The new AI Training server will be the

first commercial implementation with the new Habana Gaudi2 (HL-225) in an 8U

chassis. This server will accelerate AI training to new performance levels

combined with dual 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and up to 8TB DRAM.

With 24 hot-swappable drive bays supporting ample local high-performance

storage, significant amounts of IO are contained within the server. In

addition, the Gaudi2 accelerator is available with air cooling (HL-225). With

the Habana Gaudi2, scaling is easy and straightforward. With ROCE, each Habana

Gaudi2 accelerator can communicate with the other Gaudi2  accelerators at 700

GB/sec and communicate to other Gaudi2  accelerators that reside in different

servers at 2.4 TB/sec. In addition, each server contains 6 x QSFP-DD ports to

allow easy scale-out to handle larger models and data sets.
