Supermicro’s MegaDC ARM-based product lines use a Building Block design which features a single socket motherboard paired with an Ampere Altra or Altra Max CPU with up to 128 cores per server (currently the highest core count in the server industry), up to 4TB of DDR4 memory, and a modular design supporting unparalleled options for max I/O, PCIe, and storage.

The worlds of HPC and AI are evolving at an enormous rate. The demands of modern-day applications put tremendous pressure on local IT teams and resources. More often than not, this pressure can come in the manner of requiring an AI strategy to speed up mission-critical applications - but this can come at a cost that can hinder adoption. In this webinar, Supermicro, together with International Computer Concepts (ICC), and Define Tech, will showcase their AI Super Pod that delivers on your AI strategy needs without breaking the bank.

According to leaks and information out in the public domain as well as teasers by Intel, we will apparently see a Raptor Lake refresh in 2023.  Intel will disclose its PC roadmap shortly. This is apparently just for the entry-level area of the market. Intel plans Sapphire Rapids for the high-end market within 2023 as well according to the news.

Using a GPU as a raid controller is not something you would expect to hear among a conversation with server administrators. A US startup, GRAID, has a product called SupremeRAID, the SR-1010. It can have over 100GBps of read throughput and over 19 million IOPS – pretty impressive!

HPE claims in its press release delivered up to 99% “higher performance” and quite impressively, “43% more energy efficiency”.

As we approach the holiday season and the start of a new business year where procurement can be heavy, AMD has some good news according to a source with regard to their newest RX-7900 cards.

SuperMicro has released the H13 generation servers which have been built for the AMD EPYC 9004 processors. The range includes several GPU-optimized servers, multi-node servers, Hyper systems, and CloudDC systems. SuperMicro also has an 8U Universal GPU system. 

CPU performance is imperative to High-Frequency Servers. We continue to see a large trend with CPU manufacturers aiming new releases around HFT workloads. Tick-to-trade is vital and that is continuously being noted.
