Siggraph: AI compute cluster scales to 256 Nvidia L40S PCIe GPUs, and beyond
At Siggraph today, Supermicro announced a 4U PCIe rack processor cluster with eight Nvidia L40S PCIe GPUs (photo right), scalable up to 256 GPUs in a 32-node scalable unit (photo below). “A wide range of professionals depend on compute-intensive 3D workflows, with use-cases ranging from product design to industrial digital twins,” according to Supermicro. “Up to eight of the latest PCIe ...
Embedded World: Atom x7000RE edge AI servers
Supermicro has announced edge computers built around Intel’s Atom x7000RE processors. SYS-E100-14AM and SYS-E102-14AM mini-PCs have up to eight ‘Efficient’ cores had dissipate less than 12W. “While the SYS-E102 comes in a form factor of only 190 x 44 x 120 mm, these systems offer up to 16GB of DDR5-SODIMM, dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, two independent HDMI ports, three ...
5 x 9mm inductor handles 200A
ITG Electronics is aiming at server motherboards and storage devices with a series of high-current surface-mount ferrite inductors. The SLA36385A series has a 5 x 9mm footprint and 9.5mm height, and yet the components can handle up to 230A. Inductances range across 35 to 470nH. “The 35nH component can handle more than 200A, with approximately 20% roll off”, said the ...
GaN, SiC and Si squeeze 4.5kW out of server PSU
Navitas Semiconductor has demonstrated a 4.5kW 54V server power supply using both GaN and SiC transistors. Claimed density is “over 130W/in3 with efficiency over 97%. The architecture replaces the standard four diode bridge (and boost power factor correction) at the front end with an active all-transistor circuit – a multi-phase totem pole power factor corrector. While often called ‘bridgeless’ because ...
Cambridge GaN Devices gets development deal with PSU maker
Power IC company Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) has signed a deal to develop power adapters and data centre PSUs with Chicony Power Technology of Taiwan, and Cambridge University Technical Services (CUTS). “Chicony Power is one of the leading SMPS manufacturers in the world, so this agreement represents an incredible milestone in CGD’s journey,” said CGD CEO Giorgia Longobardi. “Chicony Power ...
OCP Summit: Connector combines low-speed signals, high-speed signals and power
To meet Open Compute Project (OCP) requirements, Molex has created a connector system that combines low-speed signals, high-speed signals and power into a single cable assembly. The “data-center product development team collaborated with the power engineering group to optimise power-contact design, thermal simulation and power dissipation”, according to the company. Inside is up to 4A can be carried alongside 10 ...
Military grade server has 9th-generation Xeon
PIP49R-MLRK1 is a rugged military-grade server from Swiss manufacturer MPL, built in half-size 19in rack rack form. Within is a conductive cooled Xeon E-2276ME 9th generation CPU, and the fanless unit can be operated in environments from -20°C to +60°C given a suitable thermally conductive environment. Screening for -40°C to +85°C operation is possible. “In such a case, the solution ...
Navitas demonstrates 3,200W from a half litre CRPS power supply
Navitas is claiming it can deliver 3,200W from a 40 x 73.5 x 185mm (544cm3) data centre power supply, which is 5.9W/cm3 and almost 100W/in3. Called CRPS185, it has a 1U CRPS (common redundant power supply) form-factor. Inside, the architecture starts with an interleaved CCM (continuous conduction mode) PFC (power factor corrector) and continues into a full-bridge LLC (inductor-inductor-capacitor) converter ...
Industrial edge server gets Intel 13th gen Raptor Lake-S processors
OnLogic is aiming at industrial edge applications with a server built around Intel’s Raptor Lake-S 13th generation Core processors. “Businesses are generating data faster and at higher quantities at the edge than ever, but all that information is useless if it can’t be captured, processed and acted upon,” said OnLogic v-p of product management Kim Wasserman. “Our customers shared a need ...
