New Supermicro Systems Enable Customers to
Upgrade and Consolidate Data Centers for AI Workloads
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Oct. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Supermicro, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud,
Storage, and 5G/Edge, announces the launch of a new series of
servers, GPU-accelerated systems, and storage servers featuring the
AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series processors and AMD Instinct™ MI325X GPUs. The
new H14 product line represents one of the most extensive server
families in the industry, including Supermicro's Hyper systems, the
Twin multi-node servers, and AI inferencing GPU systems, all
available with air or liquid cooling options. The new "Zen5"
processor core architecture implements full data path AVX-512
vector instructions for CPU-based AI inference and provides 17%
better instructions per cycle (IPC) than the previous
4th generation EPYC processor, enabling more performance
per core.
Supermicro's new H14 family uses the latest 5th Gen
AMD EPYC processors which enable up
to 192 cores per CPU with up to 500W TDP (thermal design
power). Supermicro has designed new H14 systems including the
Hyper and FlexTwin™ systems which can accommodate the higher
thermal requirements. The H14 family also includes three systems
for AI training and inference workloads supporting up to 10 GPUs
which feature the AMD EPYC 9005 Series CPU as the host processor
and two which support the AMD Instinct MI325X GPU.
"Supermicro's H14 servers have 2.44X faster
SPECrate®2017_fp_base performance1 using the
EPYC 9005 64 core CPU as compared with Supermicro's H11 systems
using the second generation EPYC 7002 Series CPUs," said
Charles Liang, president and CEO,
Supermicro. "This significant performance improvement allows
customers to make their data centers more power efficient by
reducing the total data center footprint by at least
two-thirds2 while also adding new AI processing
capabilities. The H14 server family provides the highest
performance, density, and power efficiency available through
Supermicro's liquid and air-cooling options, wide selection of
system designs, and proven Building Block Solutions."

"Supermicro's 'Building Block Solutions' has enabled it to
consistently deliver time-to-market solutions powered by AMD across
a variety of compelling system designs," said Forrest Norrod, executive vice president and
general manager, Data Center Solutions Group, AMD. "Our
collaboration with Supermicro, along with their in-house
engineering design and manufacturing capabilities worldwide
combined with their rack-scale integration capability for both air
and liquid-cooled systems enables customers of any scale to
generate time-to-value from AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs."
Supermicro's H14 server lineup consists of the following
product families:
Hyper - Supermicro's flagship enterprise server
supports maximum performance from two EPYC 9005 CPUs with up to the
maximum 192 cores per CPU at 500W and up to 9TB memory in 24 DIMM
slots. With either a 1U chassis with up to 12 2.5" NVMe/SATA
bays or a 2U chassis with up to 24 2.5" NVMe/SATA bays, the Hyper's
advanced cooling design accommodates the highest performance CPUs
for use in demanding AI inference, enterprise or cloud
workloads.
CloudDC - This versatile system is optimized for use
in Cloud Data Centers and features a single EPYC 9005 CPU with up
to 12 2.5" NVMe/SATA drive bays in a 1U chassis. It's designed
using the OCP (Open Compute Platform) DC-MHS specification (Data
Center Modular Hardware System) which ensures compatibility with
OCP standards.
GrandTwin™ - The GrandTwin is a 4-node compute
platform using single EPYC 9005 CPU in a very dense 2U form-factor.
This system is often used in multi-server cluster applications such
as object storage, virtualization, and HPC applications.
FlexTwin™ - The FlexTwin is a 2U 4-node
high-performance high-density compute system with dual EPYC 9005
CPUs per node. The advanced liquid-cooling provides high power
efficiency and allows the operation of the highest performance EPYC
9005 CPUs for use in HPC, EDA and other demanding workloads.
5U GPU System – Supermicro's EPYC CPU-based 5U PCIe
GPU system supports up to 10 double-width accelerators for design
and visualization applications.
4U GPU System (Liquid Cooled) - This highly dense EPYC
CPU-based 8-way accelerators platform supports OAM accelerators in
the most compact 4U form-factor using advanced
liquid-cooling. It is designed for high-performance AI and
HPC applications.
8U GPU System - This 8-way accelerator system uses
the AMD Instinct MI325X GPU along with the EPYC 9005 CPU for
large-scale LLM AI training. The 8U chassis allows deployment in
any air-cooled data center.
Supermicro H14 products with AMD EPYC CPUs are available for
customer testing today through Supermicro's JumpStart program.
Supermicro will present the new H14 solutions at the AMD
Advancing AI Day on October 10, 2024,
at the San Francisco Moscone Center.
