Additional InformationOutfitted with an NVIDIA Grace CPU, the Supermicro ARS-221GL-SR GPU Server is designed for high-performance computing (HPC), Large Language Models (LLM) Natural Language Processing, AI/Deep Learning plus general purpose computing. CPUs with a Thermal Design Power threshold of up to 600W when air-cooled are supported and provide up to 72 cores each. The CPU-to-GPU interconnect is provided by PCIe 5.0 x16 slots with a x16 link width. With each Superchip providing 480GB of LPDDR5X memory, in total the system provides 960GB of memory.
There are 7x PCIe slots with 4x PCIe 5.0 x16 full-height, full-length, double-width slots for GPUs and 3x PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for NICs, including an NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU with 200Gb/s throughput with dual ports. Supermicro offers a few software utilities to manage the system, including Redfish API, the Supermicro Update Manager, KVM with a dedicated LAN, IPMI 2.0, Watch Dog, and an Out-of-Band Management Package. The system is powered by 3x front accessible 2000W power supply units.
