Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro), a globally renowned company in enterprise computing, storage, networking, and green computing technology, will deploy the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip in a wide range of servers optimised for AI, HPC, data analytics, digital twins, and compute-intensive applications.
As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies transcend multiple industries, Supermicro servers will use the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip to enable a broader range of developers and IT administrators to take advantage of this new technology.
Supermicro servers to use NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip
Supermicro servers will be optimised for energy efficiency, reducing operating costs, which will become the norm for all data centres. In addition, with a memory bandwidth of up to 1 TB/second, applications will not be limited by communication speeds. Initially, a limited number of servers will be available, starting with a 2U 2 Node portfolio and then, followed by product line expansion.
