"Supermicro is thrilled to deliver an additional 580 PFLOPS of AI training

power to its worldwide AI installations," said Charles Liang, president, and

CEO, Supermicro. "Supermicro GPU servers have been installed at NEC Corporation

and are used to conduct state-of-the-art AI research. Our servers are designed

for the most demanding AI workloads using the highest-performing CPUs and GPUs.

We continue to work with leading customers worldwide to achieve their business

objectives faster and more efficiently with our advanced rack-scale server

solutions."

The NEC supercomputer for AI research is used to maintain and strengthen its

reputation in AI development. This AI supercomputer will become the largest in

the industry in Japan, with a performance of more than 580 PFLOPS. Hundreds of

AI researchers are already using part of the system at NEC. Adding the 580

PFLOPS system from Supermicro will make it Japan's leading research and

development environment dedicated to AI, which will help accelerate the

development of more advanced AI algorithms. This solution is based on the

NVIDIA HGX(TM) AI supercomputing platform that includes NVIDIA NVLink(R) and

the NVIDIA NVSwitch(TM).

"NEC Corporation is leading the AI revolution by conducting leading-edge

research using Supermicro GPU servers," said Takatoshi Kitano, Senior AI

Platform Architect at NEC. "The Supermicro GPU server is highly extensible and

customizable, allowing the system to flexibly evolve as future AI research

develops. We continue to work with Supermicro closely to advance our AI

research."
