Tai\u00adpei, Tai\u00adwan, Novem\u00adber 12th<\/sup> 2020<\/b> \u2013 GIGABYTE<\/span> Tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy, (TWSE<\/span>: 2376), an indus\u00adtry lea\u00adder in high-per\u00adfor\u00admance ser\u00advers and work\u00adsta\u00adtions, today announ\u00adced three new GPU-cen\u00adtric ser\u00advers (G482-Z53<\/span><\/a>, G482-Z54<\/span><\/a>, and G292-Z43<\/span><\/a>) aimed at HPC<\/span>, AI<\/span>, sci\u00aden\u00adti\u00adfic simu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon and mode\u00adling, and more. Using AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span>\u2122 archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre, rea\u00adli\u00adzing eight GPUs in PCIe Gen 4 x16 lanes is pos\u00adsi\u00adble, while main\u00adtai\u00adning room for sto\u00adrage and net\u00adwor\u00adking. The G482-Z53<\/span>, G482-Z54<\/span>, and G292-Z43<\/span> are desi\u00adgned for eight or more GPUs, but have space available for sto\u00adrage, net\u00adwor\u00adking, or other accelerators.<\/p>\n

Impro\u00adved Acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtor Performance:<\/b>
\nAll three new ser\u00advers can run all their PCIe Gen 4 lanes to func\u00adtion at x16, which means the\u00adre can be as many as 160 PCIe lanes available, and they all have a theo\u00adre\u00adti\u00adcal band\u00adwidth of 32 GB<\/span>\/s for fast com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adti\u00adon bet\u00adween CPU<\/span> and GPU<\/span>. This is made pos\u00adsi\u00adble by AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7002 archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre that allows a sin\u00adgle socket-to-socket Infi\u00adni\u00adty Fabric link (one of four) to real\u00adlo\u00adca\u00adte the band\u00adwidth to PCIe lanes for other pur\u00adpo\u00adses. This is pos\u00adsi\u00adble becau\u00adse a dual AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7002 sys\u00adtem uses 64 PCIe lanes from each CPU<\/span> to link to the adja\u00adcent CPU<\/span>. By free\u00ading up one of the\u00adse four links, 16 lanes per CPU<\/span> can be redi\u00adrec\u00adted for fast PCIe Gen 4 speeds in sto\u00adrage, acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors, or networking.<\/p>\n

Intro\u00adduc\u00adtion to the G482-Z53<\/span> and G482-Z54<\/span>:<\/b>
\nIncre\u00addi\u00adbly, the G482-Z53<\/span><\/a> and G482-Z54<\/span><\/a> are built for 8 x GPUs, such as the AMD<\/span> Instinct\u2122 MI50<\/span>, slot\u00adted next to each other and lin\u00adked via the AMD<\/span> Infi\u00adni\u00adty Fabric link. The\u00adse ser\u00advers have been tes\u00adted and desi\u00adgned for AMD<\/span> Instinct MI50<\/span> and other acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors. The ser\u00advers uti\u00adli\u00adze dual AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7002 pro\u00adces\u00adsors ope\u00adra\u00adting with 128+ PCIe Gen 4 lanes. Reco\u00adgni\u00adzing the full poten\u00adti\u00adal of high band\u00adwidth PCIe Gen 4 lanes, the 2nd Gen AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsors are capa\u00adble of real\u00adlo\u00adca\u00adting band\u00adwidth dedi\u00adca\u00adted to CPU<\/span> to CPU<\/span> con\u00adnec\u00adti\u00advi\u00adty to be redi\u00adrec\u00adted for acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors and net\u00adwor\u00adking. What is even more impres\u00adsi\u00adve is that all GPUs have their own dedi\u00adca\u00adted PCIe Gen 4 x16 lanes, wit\u00adhout the use of a PCIe switch to share a sin\u00adgle lane with two GPUs. All G482<\/span> ser\u00advers ful\u00adly sup\u00adport up to 280W<\/span> 2nd Gen AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsors, 32 DIMMs, 3200MHz DDR4<\/span>, and 128GB<\/span> memo\u00adry modu\u00adles. The G482<\/span> series of ser\u00advers have some key dif\u00adfe\u00adren\u00adces, as seen in the fol\u00adlo\u00adwing table.<\/p>\n

Intro\u00adduc\u00adtion to the G292-Z43<\/span>:<\/b>
\nThe G292-Z43<\/span><\/a> is GPU<\/span> (sin\u00adgle slot) den\u00adsi\u00adty pushed to the max. In a 2U<\/span> chas\u00adsis, dual AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7002 pro\u00adces\u00adsors allow for 16 DIMMs of DDR4<\/span> memo\u00adry up to 3200MHz, and in 128GB<\/span> memo\u00adry modu\u00adles. With this GPU<\/span> cen\u00adtric design, sup\u00adport for EPYC<\/span> 7002 series pro\u00adces\u00adsors is for models that have a TDP<\/span> up to 240W<\/span>. Kee\u00adping with the importance of PCIe lanes, the G292-Z43<\/span> adds sup\u00adport for 16 low pro\u00adfi\u00adle acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors using PCIe swit\u00adches. This allows for future expan\u00adsi\u00adon or expan\u00added networking.<\/p>\n
