Super Micro Computer, Inc. announced full support for the new
NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs across the company's broad portfolio of 1U, 2U,
and 4U GPU servers.
Supermicro
first announced support for NVIDIA HGX A100 configurations in May with
its new high-density 2U and 4U servers based on the four- and eight-way
NVIDIA HGX A100 boards. With A100 GPUs now also available in PCIe form
factor, customers can expect a major performance boost across
Supermicro's extensive portfolio of multi-GPU servers when they are
equipped with the new NVIDIA A100 GPUs.
"Expanding
our industry-leading portfolio of GPU systems with full support for the
new NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs means customers can choose highest performing
and most optimized server based on their specific applications," said Charles Liang,
CEO and president of Supermicro. "Designed to accelerate a vast range
of compute-intensive applications, our new systems with PCIe Gen 4
deliver fully optimized support for the new NVIDIA A100 to boost
performance up to 20x on some accelerated workloads."
Supermicro's
new 4U A+ GPU system supports up to eight NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs via
direct-attach PCI-E 4.0 x16 CPU-to-GPU lanes without any PCI-E switch
for the lowest latency and highest bandwidth to deliver maximum
acceleration. The system also supports up to two additional
high-performance PCI-E 4.0 expansion slots for a variety of uses,
including high-performance networking connectivity up to 200Gb/s. An
additional AIOM slot supports a Supermicro AIOM card or an OCP NIC 3.0
card. These systems will also be NGC-Ready, providing customers a
seamlessway to develop and deploy their AI workloads at scale. NGC-Ready
systems are validated for functionality and performance for the AI
stack from NVIDIA's NGC registry.
"As
the first elastic, multi-instance GPU that unifies training, inference,
HPC, and analytics, the NVIDIA A100 is built to handle workloads of all
sizes," said Paresh Kharya,
Director of Product Marketing of Acclerated Computing at NVIDIA.
"NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPU servers allow customers to tackle some of the most
complex data science, high performance computing and AI challenges."
As
the leader in AI system technology, Supermicro offers multi-GPU
optimized thermal designs that provide advanced performance and
reliability for AI, Deep Learning, and HPC applications. With 1U, 2U,
4U, and 10U rackmount GPU systems; Utra, BigTwin, and embedded systems
supporting GPUs; as well as GPU blade modules for our 8U SuperBlade ,
Supermicro offers the industry's widest and deepest selection of GPU
systems to power applications from edge to cloud.
