Supercharge your next cluster with NVIDIA A100, Tesla V100 or T4 GPUs
Microway NVIDIA GPU Clusters
Microway’s fully integrated NVIDIA GPU clusters deliver supercomputing & AI performance at a lower power, lower cost, and using many fewer systems than CPU-only equivalents. These clusters are powered by NVIDIA A100, Tesla V100 “Volta” or T4 GPUs. NVIDIA datacenter GPUs scale to solve the world’s most important computing challenges more quickly and accurately.
Successfully deployed in demanding applications at research institutes, universities, and enterprises, NVIDIA GPUs power the most powerful supercomputers worldwide.
Installed Software
A Microway NVIDIA GPU cluster comes installed, integrated, and tested with:
- Linux distribution of your choice, including Red Hat, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE or Gentoo
- NVIDIA HPC SDK and CUDA® SDK
- Bright Cluster Manager, OpenHPC, or Microway Cluster Management Software (MCMS™) integrated with optional MPI Link-Checker™ Fabric Validation Suite
- Optional User-level application and library installations
What Makes a Microway Cluster Different?
Expert Guidance, Expert Design
Share the details of your application or code. Microway experts will help you evaluate hardware platforms for your application. Then, they’ll help design a custom configuration tuned to your specific needs and budget.
Intensive Burn-in Testing
Every Microway cluster receives up to 1 week of burn-in testing. This includes GPU stress tests designed to identify hardware faults and “infant mortality.” Your cluster is qualified at our facility, not yours. So you can get to work faster.
Complete Software Integration
Our team integrates all the drivers, packages, and SDKs that enable you to start working from day 1. Your cluster is also delivered with GPU-aware cluster management software and schedulers tested on real accelerated HPC/AI jobs.
Our Experience in GPU Systems
We’ve been delivering NVIDIA GPU Clusters for longer than NVIDIA datacenter GPUs have existed. Microway has hundreds of satisfied customers & thousands of GPUs in the field, and we’ll apply that expertise to your successful deployment.
