Artificial Intelligence (AI) nowadays not only being an academic subject but also moving fast toward the real world when talking about facial recognition, robotics, revolutionary analytics, to diseases prevention, smart city constructions, etc. Among all the groundbreaking scientific progresses that call for accelerations in machine-learning (ML) and deep-learning (DL), the adoption of great amounts of GPGPUs will satisfy the thirst of tremendous computing power.
P90G4 is a purpose-built 4U complex GPGPU server, composed of a 1U server node based on latest Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable family, and a 3U PCIe Expansion Box with capacity supporting up to eight state-of-the-art GPGPU cards. To meet with different workloads from various demands, P90G4 can support multiple topologies and bandwidths between the GPGPUs and CPUs by simple cable routing adjustments. Moreover, the support of Infiniband network allows it to be easily scaled out to multiple GPGPU clusters. The series presents,
Datacenter-ready Platform with Low Latency and High Bandwidth : P90G4 is designed to accelerate High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI applications or frameworks. With the dual socket head node based on Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable family and the PCIe Gen3 expansion switch that supports up to eight GPGPUs, it delivers a dynamic balance of GPGPU and CPU ratios. Furthermore, to boost data training jobs, the efficiency of parallel computing is critical, the architecture of P90G4 with high-bandwidth PCIe interconnections would drive efficient peer-to-peer communication and minimized latency
Framework Flexibility for Variant AI Applications : P90G4 system is capable to support both single and dual root complex. Take ML cases for example, dual root complex can arrange large size of tasks in CPUs, and small or distributed data training jobs among GPGPUs. The flexibility of P90G4 makes it an elastic AI platform for all popular DL/ML frameworks like TensorFlow, Caffe, etc.
Elastic System Built for HPC : GPGPU acceleration is also one of the solutions to optimize High Performance Computing (HPC) applications and remote virtualization considering the physical limits of large and hyperscale datacenters. Enabled by various configuration methods, P90G4 not only supports single and multi- head nodes, but also allow random choices of GPGPU numbers based on alternative workloads generated by various applications. P90G4 is a HPC-ready platform to increase cloud-scale flexibility and fungibility.GPGPU acceleration is also one of the solutions to optimize High Performance Computing (HPC) applications and remote virtualization considering the physical limits of large and hyperscale datacenters.
