HPE and Supermicro debut liquid cooling products
“As organizations embrace the possibilities created by generative AI, they also must advance sustainability goals, combat escalating power requirements, and lower operational costs. The architecture we unveiled today uses only liquid cooling, yielding greater energy and cost efficiency advantages than the alternative hybrid cooling solutions on the market,” said Antonio Neri, president and CEO of HPE, in a statement.
Supermicro announces liquid cooling offering
Server maker Supermicro called its latest liquid cooling product “a complete liquid cooling solution.” The offering includes CDUs, cold plates, coolant distribution manifolds (CDMs), cooling towers, and end-to-end management software.
The liquid cooling solution includes cold plates that dissipate up to 1600W, enough to handle even the hottest Nvidia chips. Supermicro’s liquid-cooled SuperClusters are specially designed for Nvidia‘s GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip NVL72 platform, which consists of one CPU and two Blackwell GPUs on a single die. The clusters feature the new advanced in-rack or in-row coolant distribution units and custom cold plates designed for the compute tray housing two GB200 chips in a 1U form factor.
The rack solution incorporates up to 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs, interconnected by Nvidia’s NVLink network, which can handle up to 130 terabytes per second (TB/s) of total GPU communication with extremely low latency and enhanced performance.
The new cooling solutions have started sampling to select customers for full-scale production late in the fourth quarter.
