Leadership GPU Server, Built for Trailblazers in HPC & AI
Note: IBM announced has announced the withdrawal and end of sale of AC922. Please Contact Microway for guidance on alternate solutions.
Power Systems AC922 is a leadership HPC & AI server with 2 POWER9 with Enhanced NVLink CPUs and 4-6 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs in 2U. These same servers are deployed at the leadership CORAL Supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) and Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL).
Power Systems AC922 delivers 3 groundbreaking advancements every HPC & AI leader needs:
-
Coherence: for World’s Simplest GPU Programming
-
Nearly 5X the CPU:GPU Bandwidth; nearly 10X the Data Throughput
-
POWER9 with NVLink CPU
Features
Coherence: for World’s Simplest GPU Programming
Finally, the CPU and GPU speak the same language. The first and only shared (coherent) memory space between CPU and NVIDIA® Tesla® GPU is here. Eliminate hundreds to thousands of lines of specialized programming and data transfers: only with POWER9 and Tesla V100 on Power Systems AC922.
Nearly 5X the CPU:GPU Bandwidth; nearly 10X the Data Throughput
AC922 is the only platform with Enhanced NVLink from CPU:GPU, offering up to 150GB/sec of bi-directional bandwidth for data-intensive workloads. That’s almost 5X the CPU:GPU bandwidth of PCI-E. Each GPU is serviced with 300GB/sec of NVLink bandwidth, nearly 10X the Data Throughput of PCI-E x16 3.0 platforms.
POWER9 with NVLink CPU
The POWER9 platform features up to 24 cores, 3 high bandwidth interfaces to accelerators (PCI-E Gen4, OpenCAPI, Enhanced NVLink), overwhelming memory bandwidth, and high socket throughput.
- Two, four, or six NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs with NVLink GPUs (6 GPU configuration only with water cooling)
- NVLink connectivity from CPU:GPU and GPU:GPU for data-intensive and multi-GPU applications
