The data center market is experiencing rapid growth. High-efficiency servers are supporting cloud gaming, data analytics, and high-performance computing, and total IT solutions, including energy-efficient solutions, are being offered in line with ESG principles.

Super Micro Computer (hereinafter referred to as Supermicro) announced on the 26th that it will be integrating NVIDIA Grace CPU superchips into a wide range of servers optimized for AI, HPC, data analytics, digital twins, and compute-intensive applications.

As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies advance at an ever-increasing pace across industries, Supermicro servers with NVIDIA Grace CPU superchips enable developers and IT managers to more broadly leverage the emerging technology.

Supermicro servers optimize energy efficiency to reduce costs, a trend expected to become standard across all data centers. Furthermore, with up to 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth, applications are not constrained by communication speeds. Initially, we will start with a 2U 2-node portfolio, which may have limitations in server availability, but the product line will expand over time.

“Supermicro’s servers, featuring NVIDIA Grace CPU superchips, will optimize diverse workloads to meet the demands of modern data centers,” said Paresh Kharia, senior director of accelerated computing at NVIDIA.

Supermicro's total IT solutions are designed to provide customers with a one-stop shop for their IT needs. Supermicro tests and integrates hardware and software combinations to ensure that server- or rack-level designs meet the current and future needs of IT professionals. As part of this ongoing commitment, Supermicro has integrated NVIDIA Grace CPU superchips into solutions optimized for AI, HPC, and data analytics workloads.

In particular, the NVIDIA Grace CPU superchip interfaces with the latest PCIe Gen5 protocol, enabling optimal 400Gb/s connectivity with the NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand platform, including the NVIDIA ConnectX-7 smart network interface card and the NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU, or with NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet.

Supermicro and NVIDIA have collaborated for years, providing users with a broad range of graphics, HPC, and AI accelerators. Upcoming Supermicro servers will run the full software stack, including NVIDIA AI Enterprise, powered by the new NVIDIA Grace CPU superchip. Supermicro announced that it will continue to support NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise to accelerate 3D design collaboration and simulation of industrial virtual worlds and digital twins.

“Supermicro is developing new server platforms that integrate the NVIDIA Grace CPU superchip,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “We plan to leverage building block solutions to provide a broad range of servers optimized for specific workloads.”

He also explained, “Supermicro, with its green computing DNA, delivers the most advanced energy-efficient servers to meet demanding data center requirements,” and “The new systems Supermicro is bringing to market can quickly address the AI, HPC, and data analytics markets.”
