ASRock Rack Showcases AI Servers and Rack Featuring NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture at 2024 OCP Global Summit - Booth C11

[Taipei, Taiwan – October 15, 2024] – ASRock Rack Inc., a leading innovating server company, today announced its presence at the 2024 OCP Global Summit, taking place in San Jose, California, from October 15 to 17, at booth C11. The showcase will focus on its AI server portfolio, which includes systems featuring the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture.

To address the next wave of generative AI breakthroughs, ASRock Rack is presenting its GPU server solutions from the edge to the cloud at the event. One of the highlights is the ASRock Rack 2UXGM, a scale-out, single-node system based on NVIDIA MGX™ modular architecture. This easy-to-deploy system incorporates the NVIDIA GB200 NVL2 platform, featuring tightly coupled CPUs and GPUs for efficient acceleration. It offers up to 18x faster data processing compared to traditional x86 CPUs and delivers 5x faster real-time large language model (LLM) inference than the NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU. By leveraging NVIDIA GB200 NVL2, the system is optimized for mainstream LLM inference, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and data processing.

In addition, ASRock Rack reveals the 8U8X-GNR2, an air-cooled rackmount server equipped with the NVIDIA HGX™ platform for faster real-time inference on trillion-parameter models. This system supports advanced networking options at speeds of up to 400 Gb/s, such as NVIDIA BlueField®-3 SuperNICs, to deliver top-tier AI performance with the NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet platform. It also utilizes NVIDIA BlueField-3 data processing units (DPUs) to enhance cloud networking, composable storage, zero-trust security, and GPU compute elasticity in hyperscale AI clouds.

"As AI becomes integral to modern applications, the demand for enhanced computing power is surging across data centers and AI startups," said Weishi Sa, President of ASRock Rack. "NVIDIA accelerated computing technologies are driving a new era of computing, performing exponentially more work in less time than traditional CPU-based systems. We're committed to continually rolling out new products to support the latest NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, and networking for this new industrial revolution."

Alongside the two new servers, another highlight is the ASRock Rack XGMRACK. This rack-scale solution is based on the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72, connecting 36 NVIDIA Grace™ CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell Tensor Core GPUs using NVIDIA NVLink™ technology. Additionally, more AI servers based on NVIDIA MGX are on display, including the ASRock Rack 4UXGM-GNR2, which supports 8 NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, and the 2U short-depth MECAI, designed for edge environments and powered by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper™ Superchip.

"ASRock Rack is collaborating with NVIDIA to develop and deliver advanced server solutions using the latest NVIDIA technologies," said Kaustubh Sanghani, vice president of GPU Product Management at NVIDIA. "ASRock Rack's wide range of servers, powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing, are capable of handling demanding workloads like training, inference and generative AI."

Besides the AI servers and compute rack, attendees at the 2024 OCP Global Summit can also explore ASRock Rack's innovative OCP server platforms, including the 1OU1N-TURIN2 and 2OU3N-SIENA powered by AMD EPYC™ Server Processors, as well as all-flash storage servers 1U8E1S-GNRAP and 2U32E3S-GNR2FLW powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors, at booth C11.
