Super Micro Computer extended its industry-proven
workstation family with a new generation server-grade high-end
workstation that offers maximum configurability and reliability in a
robust single-socket platform. The new workstation is just the latest in
Supermicro's overall support of AMD processors, including the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC based servers for multiple applications.
The
highly versatile, configurable platform harnesses the power of the AMD
Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processor with up to 64 cores and 128 PCI-E 4.0
lanes, doubling the data throughput of the previous generation. The new workstation (AS -5014A-TT) dramatically
boosts productivity for demanding professional workloads found in media
content creation, scientific research, visualization, deep learning
(DL) and artificial intelligence (AI), virtual or augmented reality
(VR/AR), and 3-D modeling with real-time simulation.
"When
AMD's new processor is coupled with Supermicro's advanced workstation
design and architecture, today's professionals can truly bring their
productivity to the next level," said Vik Malyala,
senior vice president, Supermicro. "It can drive up to four
full-height, double-width, active cooling GPUs, double that of similar
systems in the market, and supports up to 2TB of DDR4 3200 memory, and four M.2
slots for ultra-fast PCI-E Gen 4 NVMe storage. Also, with built-in
10Gigatbit Ethernet, and support for 25/100/200G NICs, the platform
accelerates data-intensive workloads and transfer speed - required for
today's content creators, deep learning professionals, and
engineers."
"AMD
Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors have been designed to set the
industry standard for workstation compute performance," said Chris Kilburn,
corporate vice president and general manager, client component business
unit, AMD. "With the new AS-5014A-TT Workstation, Supermicro has
designed a powerful and flexible platform, dedicated to maximizing the
full spectrum of compute capabilities offered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper
PRO processors."
Supermicro 2nd Gen AMD EPYC Solutions
In
addition to Supermicro's support for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO
processors, Supermicro continues to deliver a wide range of solutions
leveraging AMD's 2nd Gen
EPYC series. These include the H12 SuperBlade and single and
dual-socket multi-node A+ Twin Servers, the I/O and cost-effectiveness
focused WIO line of A+ Servers, as well as dual AMD EPYC processors with
multi-GPU servers supporting eight double-width GPUs in 4U, NVIDIA HGX
A100 8-GPU in 4U, 4-GPU in 2U. With PCI-E 4.0 x16 support, these A+
Servers can deliver 200G network connectivity and feature a large,
ultra-fast storage footprint and DDR4 memory up 3200MHz to deliver
record-breaking performance with compelling TCO and TCE.
Workstation Portfolio Solutions
Supermicro
Workstation systems are highly customizable and can be purpose-built
for architecture engineering and construction (AEC), media and
entertainment (M&E), engineering and manufacturing, product design
and simulation, oil and gas, and deep learning applications. For more

The
workstation also provides Supermicro's data center server level of
robust management feature set for deployment and maintenance, including
IPMI and Redfish APIs allowing IT managers to manage remotely, monitor,
restore, and upgrade systems. Additionally, unlike similar competitive
offerings, the system has a dedicated chamber for optional liquid
cooling for customers that require higher thermal and acoustic
performance. Supermicro service and support ensures seamless integration
of system options and to maximize performance for desired workloads. In
addition, the system supports Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for
enhanced security.
