Supermicro has offerings both at the motherboard and system level. The system incorporates the motherboard so we will start with the M12SWA-TF and move to the system that is built around it.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 12, 2021 — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, extended its industry-proven workstation family with a new generation server-grade high-end workstation that offers maximum configurability and reliability in a robust single-socket platform.

5G has quickly become a technology that will affect everyone everywhere. While networks are still in the early deployment phase, the worldwide rollout has already begun. Almost every day we see a new announcement on another 5G deployment. GSMA Intelligence has reported that almost 110 operators in almost 50 countries will have launched new 5G networks by the end of 2020.

The Supermicro 1023US-TR4 is a 1U server designed for organizations looking for a high-end solution in environments that can benefit from dense compute power like virtualization and cloud computing. The 1024US-TR4 comes equipped with an H11DSU-iN motherboard, which features dual-socket support for AMD EPYC series processors and up to 8TB Registered ECC DDR4 3200MHz SDRAM via its 32 DIMM slots.

With data center operators’ requirements for faster access to massive amounts of data than ever before, the choice of storage technologies and associated infrastructure has become a critical consideration when IT departments design and implement their next-generation data centers. As storage technologies continue to increase in both performance and capacity, some decisions need to be made to deliver fast results to enterprise customers.

High Performance Computing (HPC) can enable humans to understand the world around us, from atomic behaviour to how the universe is expanding. While HPC used to be associated with a “supercomputer,” today’s HPC environments are created using hundreds to thousands of individual servers, connected by a high speed and low latency networking fabric. To take advantage of thousands of separate computing elements or “cores” simultaneously, applications need to be designed and implemented to work in parallel, sharing intermediate results as required.

Supermicro announces the doubling of GPU capabilities with a new 4U server supporting eight NVIDIA HGX A100 GPUs. The flexible range of solutions powered by NVIDIA GPUs and GPU software from the NVIDIA NGC ecosystem provides the right building blocks for diverse tasks for organisations addressing various verticals — from AI inferencing on developed models to HPC to high-end training.

Supermicro has deployed an additional cluster at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to augment existing computing capabilities available for national security and to help discover therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Nicht jeder bringt Supermicro und Supercomputing zusammen. Doch sowohl das Center for Scientific Computing (CSC), eine Initiative des Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies und der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, als auch das Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory setzen nun Plattformen des Herstellers ein - einmal mit AMD- und einmal mit AMD-Komponenten.

The HPC world, particularly in the U.S. is waiting for the next series of transitions to far larger machines with exascale capabilities. By this time next year, the bi-annual ranking of the top 500 most powerful systems will be refreshed at the top as Frontier, El Capitan, Aurora and other DoE supers come online.
