NVSwitch and NVLink Performance
NVSwitch enables every GPU to communicate with every other GPU at full bandwidth of 2.4TB/sec to solve the largest of AI and HPC problems. Every GPU has full access to 0.5TB of aggregate HBM2 memory to handle the most massive of datasets. By enabling a unified server node, NVSwitch dramatically accelerates complex AI and HPC applications.

Designed for Next Generation AI

AI models are exploding in complexity and require large memory, multiple GPUs, and an extremely fast connection between the GPUs to work. With NVSwitch connecting all GPUs and unified memory, HGX-2 provides the power to handle these new models for faster training of advanced AI. A single HGX-2 replaces 300 CPU-powered servers, saving significant cost, space, and energy in the data center.
Ready for Max Density HPC
HPC applications require strong server nodes with the computing power to perform a massive number of calculations per second. Increasing the compute density of each node dramatically reduces the number of servers required, resulting in huge savings in cost, power, and space consumed in the data center. For HPC simulations, high-dimension matrix multiplication requires a processor to fetch data from many neighbors to facilitate computation, making GPUs connected by NVSwitch ideal. A single HGX-2 server replaces 60 CPU-only servers.
X11 Servers Featuring New Intel Skylake Scalable Xeon® Processors
Supermicro’s new X11 servers are engineered to unleash the full performance and rich feature sets on the new Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family, supporting more cores and higher TDP envelopes of 205 watts and higher, increased number of memory channels and higher bandwidth, more PCI-E 3.0 lanes, 100G/40G/25G/10G Ethernet, 100G EDR InfiniBand (on select servers) and integrated Intel® Omni-Path Architecture networking fabrics. The elevated compute performance, density, I/O capacity, and efficiency are coupled with industry’s most comprehensive support for NVMe NAND Flash and Intel® Optane™ SSDs for unprecedented application responsiveness and agility. For exact sever specifications, please see highlights below and also refer to detailed technical specifications.
“Supermicro’s new SuperServer based on the HGX-2 platform will deliver more than double the performance of current systems, which will help enterprises address the rapidly expanding size of AI models that sometimes require weeks to train,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “Our new HGX-2 system will enable efficient training of complex models. It combines sixteen Tesla V100 32GB SXM3 GPUs connected via NVLink and NVSwitch to work as a unified 2 PetaFlop accelerator with half a terabyte of aggregate GPU memory to deliver unmatched compute power.”
Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro
Server Systems Management
Supermicro Server Manager (SSM) provides capabilities to monitor the health of server components including memory, hard drives and RAID controllers. It enables the datacenter administrator to monitor and manage power usage across all Supermicro servers allowing users to maximize their CPU payload while mitigating the risk of tripped circuit. Firmware upgrades on Supermicro servers became easier now with a couple of clicks. Administrators can now mount an ISO image on multiple servers and reboot the servers with those images. The tool also provides pre-defined reports and many more features that will make managing Supermicro servers simpler.
