Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) announces the enhancement of the
broadest portfolio of Artificial Intelligence (AI) GPU servers which
integrate new NVIDIA Ampere-family GPUs, including the NVIDIA A100, A30,
and A2.
Supermicro's
latest NVIDIA-Certified Systems deliver ten times more AI inference
performance than previous generations, ensuring that AI enabled
applications such as Image Classification, Object Detection,
Reinforcement Learning, Recommendation, Natural Language Processing
(NLP), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) that can produce faster
insights with dramatically lower costs. In addition to inferencing,
Supermicro's powerful selection of A100 HGX 8-GPU and 4-GPU servers
deliver three times higher AI training and eight times faster
performance on big data analytics compared to previous generation
systems.
"Supermicro
leads the GPU market with the broadest portfolio of systems optimized
for any workload, from the edge to the cloud," said Charles Liang,
president, and CEO of Supermicro. "Our total solution for cloud gaming
delivers up to 12 single-width GPUs in one 2U 2-node system for superior
density and efficiency. In addition, Supermicro also just introduced
the new Universal GPU Platform to integrate all major CPU, GPU, and
fabric and cooling solutions."
The
Supermicro E-403 server is ideal for distributed AI inferencing
applications, such as traffic control and office building environmental
conditions. Supermicro Hyper-E edge servers bring unprecedented
inferencing to the edge with up to three A100 GPUs per system.
Supermicro can now deliver complete IT solutions that accelerate
collaboration among engineering and design professionals, including
NVIDIA-Certified servers, storage, networking switches, and NVIDIA
Enterprise Omniverse software for professional visualization and
collaboration.
"Supermicro's
wide range of NVIDIA-Certified Systems are powered by the complete
portfolio of NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based GPUs," said Ian Buck,
vice president and general manager of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA.
"This provides Supermicro customers top-of-the-line performance for
every type of modern-day AI workflow -- from inference at the edge to
high-performance computing in the cloud and everything in between."
Supermicro's
powerful data center 2U and 4U GPU (Redstone, Delta) systems will be
the first to market supporting the new Quantum-2 InfiniBand product line
and the BlueField DPUs. The NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand solution
includes high-bandwidth, ultra-low latency adapters, switches and
cables, and comprehensive software for delivering the highest data
center performance, which runs across the broad Supermicro product line.
The
Quantum-2 InfiniBand-based systems will provide 400 Gb/s, 2X higher
bandwidth per port, increased switch density, and 32X higher AI
acceleration per switch than the previous generation of InfiniBand
communication adapters and switches and offer both Intel or AMD
processor support.
With
hybrid work environments becoming the norm, new technologies are
required to ensure a workforce's technical parity. The combination of
NVIDIA's Omniverse Enterprise and Supermicro GPU servers will transform
complex 3D workflows, resulting in infinite iterations and faster
time-to-market for a wide range of innovative products. In addition,
NVIDIA's Omniverse Enterprise, and AI Enterprise on VMware for
integrating AI into their enterprise workflows, are optimized and tested
on Supermicro's NVIDIA-Certified Systems, enabling geographically
diverse teams to work together seamlessly.
