SuperMicro Computer Inc. highlighted its selection of GPU optimized server solutions at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in San Jose, Calif. Headlining the exhibit was Supermicro’s newest 4U 8x GPU SuperServer. This high-performance server features airflow optimized architecture with independent cooling zones and side-by-side component layout. This enables maximum performance of eight 300W GPUs and dual 150W CPUs. Energy efficiency and power savings is also attained with Supermicro’s power delivery sub-systems featuring redundant 1600W Platinum Level high efficiency (94%) power supplies. This system is the platform behind the new NVIDIA Iray Visual Computing Appliance (VCA). Unveiled today at GTC, Iray VCA features eight of NVIDIA’s most powerful GPUs.
Also showcased at the conference was the 4U FatTwin featuring two side-by-side dual-processor nodes each supporting 6x GPUs and 2x additional PCI-E 3.0 (x8) slots for high bandwidth I/O expansion. These systems along with Supermicro’s GPU solution range address compute and graphics intensive applications across diverse fields of HPC, scientific discovery, engineering, enterprise virtualization, 3D/CG visual arts, broadcast media/film, and cloud-based gaming.
†Supermicro’s application-optimized GPU server solutions also support NVIDIA Kepler architecture-based GPUs.†These include the NVIDIA Tesla †K10, K20, K20X, K40, and K40X GPU accelerators, and the NVIDIA GRID †K1 and K2 GPUs. Supermicro GPU platforms also support the new NVIDIA Iray VCA and GRID VDI, GRID VCA , and GRID Cloud Gaming servers.
