Supermicro's SuperCluster accelerated by the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform empowers the next stage of AI, defined by new breakthroughs, including the evolution of scaling laws and the rise of reasoning models. The SuperCluster provides the core infrastructure elements necessary to scale the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform and deploy the pinnacle of AI training and inference performance. SuperCluster simplifies the complexities of AI infrastructure by providing a fully validated AI cluster with a plug-and-play deployment experience.
Supermicro's new air-cooled SuperCluster is composed of the new Supermicro NVIDIA HGX B200 8-GPU systems. Featuring a redesigned 10U chassis to accommodate the thermals of its leading-edge AI compute performance, it is designed to tackle heavy AI workloads of all types, from training to fine-tuning to inference.
Why Air-Cooled AI SuperCluster?
The new 10U air-cooled SuperCluster features Supermicro NVIDIA HGX B200 8-GPU systems with a redesigned chassis to accommodate the thermals of its leading-edge AI compute performance. It is purpose-built to tackle heavy AI workloads of all types, from training to fine-tuning to inference.
The 10U air-cooled NVIDIA HGX B200 8-GPU node offers an upgraded mechanical design to improve airflow over key components, including the GPU heatsinks and high-speed network cards. Each node contains 8 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs (180 GB HBM3e each) interconnected at 1.8 TB/s via NVLink, providing a total of 1.4 TB of GPU memory per system.
The SuperCluster creates a massive pool of 256 GPUs acting as one AI supercomputer. Its rack-scale design provides a 1:1 GPU-to-NIC network ratio (using NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs or BlueField-3 DPUs), enabling a non-blocking, high-performance fabric across the entire 9-rack cluster.
