Supermicro® (NASDAQ:SMCI) is a global leader in high-
performance, high-efficiency server technology and innovation. We
develop and provide end-to-end green computing solutions to the
datacenter, cloud computing, enterprise IT, big data, HPC, and
embedded markets. Our solutions range from complete server,
storage, blade and workstations to full racks, networking devices,
server management software and technology support and services.
We perform the majority of our R&D efforts in-house, which
increases the communication and collaboration between design
teams, streamlines the development process and reduces time-to-
market. We have developed a set of design principles which allow us
to aggregate individual industry-standard components and materials
to develop truly optimized server boards, chassis, power supplies,
networking and storage devices. This building block approach allows
us to provide a broad range of SKUs, and enables us to build and
deliver application-optimized solutions based upon customers'
requirements.

SUPERMICRO SUPERBLADE REVIEW
HTTP://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 case
every time. The 7048GR-TR Workstation is designed for maximum uptime with
hot-swappable drives and cooling fans, and includes dual redundant power
supplies.”

Rating:
“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 Benchmarks
The 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 designs
With constant communication,
the QPI + PCIe is a major
constraint. Symmetric PCIe
design is NOT efficient for
Machine Learning Applications.
