The SuperCluster for NVIDIA Omniverse broadens Supermicro’s offerings of application-optimized AI rack solutions. A wide range of professionals depend on compute-intensive 3D workflows, with use cases ranging from product design to industrial digital twins. Generative AI has augmented existing 3D workflows and is supercharging a new era of applications. SuperCluster for NVIDIA Omniverse helps simplify the deployment of scale-out infrastructure for the multi-workload needs of 3D and AI.
Supermicro NVIDIA OVX systems serve as the foundational building block of the cluster’s compute power. Each system node hosts up to 8 of the latest NVIDIA PCIe GPUs that deliver the combination of highest 3D performance, and providing exceptional Generative AI performance via Tensor Cores and Transformer Engine support. Systems are powered by 4x 2700W Titanium Level PSUs, all within a high-airflow chassis, to ensure stability under high-utilization scenarios. Up to four BlueField®-3 SuperNICs or four NVIDIA ConnectX®-7 NICs per system provide 400Gb/s network speeds with high scalability and security.
Supermicro’s 4U PCIe GPU systems are fully NVIDIA-certified for NVIDIA Omniverse, passing a rigorous validation process that tests for performance, reliability, scalability, and security. Organizations can maximize performance across the diverse range of workloads within the NVIDIA Omniverse development platform, including the world-building OpenUSD ecosystem and generative AI technologies through Omniverse Cloud APIs.
SuperCluster for NVIDIA Omniverse is a fully interconnected infrastructure solution that ensures designers, artists, engineers, and others can access the highest level of GPU computing at the time of need, with seamless access to virtual GPUs or bare-metal access to full system nodes. The 400Gb/s high-performance network fabric, supporting NVIDIA Spectrum™-X Ethernet, allows enterprises developing custom large language models to tap into a combined pool of GPU memory across system nodes, essential for training large AI models.
Supermicro’s validated rack solutions range from 4 GPUs to a 256 GPU Scalable Unit, which can be further multiplied to fit enterprises of any size. Customers receive thoroughly validated plug-and-play racks, tested at the L12 level and ready for use on day one.
A Highly Customizable Solution, Sized from a Single Rack to an Enterprise-Scale
A Supermicro SuperCluster for NVIDIA Omniverse can be deployed from a range of available sizes and options depending on the customer’s requirements. System nodes can be equipped with either 4 GPUs per system or 8 GPUs per system. Deployments can be sized from a single rack with 4 systems to a scalable unit with 32 systems in 5 racks. Large deployments can be further incremented via scalable units to build clusters of virtually any size.
SuperCluster for the NVIDIA Omniverse Scalable Unit contains:
