SUPERMICRO SUPERBLADE REVIEWHTTP://WWW.SERVETHEHOME.COM/SUPERMICRO-SUPERBLADE-GPU-SYSTEM-REVIEW-SBE-710Q-R90-CHASSIS/

Using the Supermicro GPU Super-Blade platform we quickly saw the benefits in terms of: higher density, higher power supply efficiency, easier maintenance, significantly reduced cabling, and easier upgrades/ expansion.

We were impressed by how easy it was to use and manage the system.

3rd Party Server Reviews

97%Rating:

“As we have said before, the case used for the 7048GR-TR Workstation is simply the best in quality, craftsmanship, and features. … it is our go-to caseevery time. The 7048GR-TR Workstation is designed for maximum uptime with hot-swappable drives and cooling fans, and includes dual redundant power supplies.”

— TweakTown

9.7Rating:

“Overall, for those looking to cram four GPU’s into a small 1U form factor for dense compute or even VDI applications, the Supermicro 1028GQ-TRT is an excellent solution. With 10Gbase-T networking, the server is easy to integrate into existing datacenter infrastructure so long as the rack is able to handle higher-power rated gear.

… we find the 4028GR-TR is a well designed system that has the ability to handle high performance work loads. Moving to a large 4U server allows larger capacity cooling systems to be installed that keep the system cool while running extreme work loads. This is a trade off vs smaller 1U systems which have higher density but operate at close to maximum heat load capacities.”

STAC-A2 BenchmarksThe STAC-A2 Benchmark suite is the industry standard for testing technology stacks used for compute-intensive analytic workloads involved in pricing and risk management. In all, the STAC-A2 specifications deliver nearly 200 test results related to performance, scaling, efficiency, and quality, which are detailed in this report.

Test System: Supermicro SYS-1028GR-TR server

World Record Results Fastest warm time to date in the baseline end-to-end Greeks benchmark: GREEKS.TIME.WARM; This was 1.27x the speed of the next fastest System (SUT ID: INTC150811).

CUSTOMER PAIN POINTS

Machine Learning / AI applications have large datasets well beyond one single GPU.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Aggregate GPU resources to tackle large dataset computation, in conjunction with high speed connectivity to minimize latency

Generic ARCHITECTURE

QPI

PCIe

PCIe

Latency is a major bottleneck, based on many 8x GPU designsWith constant communication, the QPI + PCIe is a major constraint. Symmetric PCIe design is NOT efficient for Machine Learning Applications.
