Additionally, the company announced the liquid-cooled HPE Cray Supercomputing GX240 compute blade for its GX5000 platform. The GX240 starts with 16 Nvidia Vera CPUs per blade and scales to 40 blades per rack, supporting up to 640 Nvidia Vera CPUs and 56,320 ARM cores per rack.
Additionally, HPE said new network connectivity, Nvidia Quantum-X800 InfiniBand, optimized for large-scale system connectivity, is now available with the HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000. The Quantum-X800 InfiniBand switches provide 144 ports of 800 Gb/s connectivity per port with energy-efficient features, the vendor stated.
The vendor also launched HPE Compute XD700, an AI server built on Nvidia HGX Rubin NVL8. The system is designed to deliver higher GPU density per rack and reduce space, power and cooling costs while increasing AI training and inference performance. Each XD700 server rack supports up to 128 Rubin GPUs, providing double the GPU density compared to the previous generation,…
