Equipped with four NVIDIA V100 accelerators, the IBM AC922 is available for testing.
Configuration of the test server IBM Power System AC922
2× 16-core 2.60 GHz (3.09 GHz Turbo) POWER9
4× 16GB SXM2 NVIDIA Volta V100 GPU
2× PCIe3 LP 1.6TB SSD NVMe adapter
2× 960 GB 2.5in SATA/SSD Disk Drive
16× 32 GB DDR4 2666 RDIMM (512GB RAM total)
The AC922 Power System has been developed by the OpenPOWER Foundation consortium based on the requirements of a high-performance deep learning platform, AI, high-performance analytics, or high-performance computing (HPC). The result is currently the most powerful supercomputer platform that was created through the collaboration of IBM, NVIDIA, Mellanox and many others.
The main advantages of the IBM Power System AC922
The IBM Power System AC922 (Newel Development Label) is currently the most powerful server solution on the market. The server is equipped with POWER9 processors, which have several unique technologies. The main focus is on high throughput, a fundamental parameter for processing large volumes of data. Unique technologies include:
- NVLink 2.0 – Processor-integrated interface for ultra-fast NVIDIA GPU accelerator connections directly to CPU
- CAPI interface for high-speed connection of I/O components directly to the processor – e.g. I/O cards, FPGA accelerators, ultra-fast drives
- PCI Express 4.0 – currently the only server on the market equipped with a new generation of the PCI bus
The IBM AC922 server supports up to four of the most powerful NVIDIA V100 GPU accelerators (NVLink version), or up to six GPU accelerators using water cooling. Unique is the connection of these accelerators with processors using the NVLink interface.
Scalability of IBM Power Servers
What is interesting is the scalability of IBM servers. One interesting feature is the scalability of IBM servers. The CORAL supercomputer that IBM built for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is a beautiful example of this technology in action. This supercomputer is the most powerful computer in the world according to the TOP500 list.
