Supermicro delivers direct-liquid-optimised NVIDIA Blackwell solutions
Summary
In addition, Supermicro is enhancing the portfolio of its NVIDIA Hopper systems to address the rapid adoption of accelerated computing for HPC applications and mainstream enterprise AI. The Supermicro clusters use direct liquid cooling, resulting in higher performance, lower power consumption for the entire data centre, and reduced operational expenses." The upgraded SuperCluster scalable unit is based on a rack-scale design with innovative vertical coolant distribution manifolds (CDMs), which allow for an increased amount of compute nodes in a single rack. A new air-cooled 10U form-factor Supermicro NVIDIA HGX B200 system features a redesigned chassis with expanded thermal headroom to accommodate eight 1000W TDP Blackwell GPUs. Compatible with Supermicros liquid-cooled NVIDIA MGX modular systems, the Superchip provides up to 2x performance for scientific computing, graph neural network (GNN) training, and inference applications over the prior generation.
