ASUS today announced its next-generation infrastructure solutions at SC24, unveiling an extensive server lineup and advanced cooling solutions, all designed to propel the future of AI. The product showcase will reveal how ASUS is working with NVIDIA and Ubitus/Ubilink to prove the immense computational power of supercomputers, using AI-powered avatar and robot demonstrations that leverage the newly-inaugurated data center. It is Taiwan's largest supercomputing facility, constructed by ASUS, and is also notable for offering flexible green-energy options to customers that desire them. As a total solution provider with a proven track record in pioneering AI supercomputing, ASUS continuously drives maximized value for customers.

To fuel digital transformation in enterprise through high-performance computing (HPC) and AI-driven architecture, ASUS provides a full line-up of server systems—ready for every scenario. ASUS AI POD, a complete rack solution equipped with NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform, integrates GPUs, CPUs and switches in seamless, high-speed direct communication, enhancing the training of trillion-parameter LLMs and enabling real-time inference. It features the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip and fifth-generation NVIDIA NVLink technology, while offering both liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid cooling options to maximize AI computing performance.

Since its introduction, the NVIDIA Hopper architecture has transformed the AI and high-performance computing (HPC) landscape, helping enterprises, researchers and developers tackle the world's most complex challenges with higher performance and greater energy efficiency. During the Supercomputing 2024 conference, NVIDIA announced the availability of the NVIDIA H200 NVL PCIe GPU - the latest addition to the Hopper family. H200 NVL is ideal for organizations with data centers looking for lower-power, air-cooled enterprise rack designs with flexible configurations to deliver acceleration for every AI and HPC workload, regardless of size.

According to a recent survey, roughly 70% of enterprise racks are 20kW and below and use air cooling. This makes PCIe GPUs essential, as they provide granularity of node deployment, whether using one, two, four or eight GPUs - enabling data centers to pack more computing power into smaller spaces. Companies can then use their existing racks and select the number of GPUs that best suits their needs. Enterprises can use H200 NVL to accelerate AI and HPC applications, while also improving energy efficiency through reduced power consumption. With a 1.5x memory increase and 1.2x bandwidth increase over NVIDIA H100 NVL, companies can use H200 NVL to fine-tune LLMs within a few hours and deliver up to 1.7x faster inference performance. For HPC workloads, performance is boosted up to 1.3x over H100 NVL and 2.5x over the NVIDIA Ampere architecture generation.
