GIGABYTE<\/span> G\u2011series ser\u00advers are desi\u00adgned for GPGPU<\/span> depen\u00addent workloads.

Hig\u00adher Band\u00adwidth for GPUs:<\/b>
\nOn the back of the 2nd Gen AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> plat\u00adform, expan\u00adding PCIe 4.0 con\u00adnec\u00adti\u00advi\u00adty is one of the key fea\u00adtures for the new 2U<\/span> G292-Z44<\/span><\/a> and G292-Z24<\/span><\/a> ser\u00advers, and the new GIGABYTE<\/span> ser\u00advers boost the capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties of GPU<\/span> acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors given the ever-incre\u00adasing matu\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon of PCIe 4.0. With the 2x increase in band\u00adwidth per port from pri\u00ador gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon, trans\u00adfer speeds bene\u00adfit enter\u00adpri\u00adse level GPUs, such as the NVIDIA<\/span> A100<\/span> or AMD<\/span> Rade\u00adon MI50<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Impro\u00adved GPU<\/span> to GPU<\/span> latency:<\/b>
\nMore resour\u00adces, whe\u00adther GPUs or FPGAs, are nee\u00added to be con\u00adnec\u00adted to a sin\u00adgle or dual CPU<\/span> ser\u00adver. So as not to be limi\u00adt\u00aded by the num\u00adber of PCIe lanes available, a PCIe switch expands the num\u00adber of con\u00adnec\u00adted GPUs. Here is whe\u00adre Broadcom\u2019s swit\u00adches are cru\u00adcial. Broad\u00adcom is a lea\u00adder in pro\u00addu\u00adcing PCIe swit\u00adches with impres\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adly low laten\u00adcy. By uti\u00adli\u00adzing PCIe swit\u00adches, the G292-Z44<\/span><\/a> and G292-Z24<\/span><\/a> are able to have up to 8 x GPUs (Gen4 x16).<\/p>\n
