"Supermicro is thrilled to deliver an additional 580 PFLOPS of AI training 
power to its worldwide AI installations," said Charles Liang, president, and 
CEO, Supermicro. "Supermicro GPU servers have been installed at NEC Corporation 
and are used to conduct state-of-the-art AI research. Our servers are designed 
for the most demanding AI workloads using the highest-performing CPUs and GPUs. 
We continue to work with leading customers worldwide to achieve their business 
objectives faster and more efficiently with our advanced rack-scale server 
solutions."

The NEC supercomputer for AI research is used to maintain and strengthen its 
reputation in AI development. This AI supercomputer will become the largest in 
the industry in Japan, with a performance of more than 580 PFLOPS. Hundreds of 
AI researchers are already using part of the system at NEC. Adding the 580 
PFLOPS system from Supermicro will make it Japan's leading research and 
development environment dedicated to AI, which will help accelerate the 
development of more advanced AI algorithms. This solution is based on the 
NVIDIA HGX(TM) AI supercomputing platform that includes NVIDIA NVLink(R) and 
the NVIDIA NVSwitch(TM).

"NEC Corporation is leading the AI revolution by conducting leading-edge 
research using Supermicro GPU servers," said Takatoshi Kitano, Senior AI 
Platform Architect at NEC. "The Supermicro GPU server is highly extensible and 
customizable, allowing the system to flexibly evolve as future AI research 
develops. We continue to work with Supermicro closely to advance our AI 
research."

Specifically, the new systems from Supermicro include the SYS-420GP-TNAR (

) server, which is optimized for large-scale distributed learning applications. 
Each server contains two Intel Xeon Platinum 8358 processors (32 core, 2.6 
GHz), 1TB of memory, and eight NVIDIA A100 80GB Tensor Core GPUs. Local storage 
in each server consists of a 1.9TB NVMe SSD and four 7.6TB NVMe SSDs for data. 
The interconnect between servers consists of five NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Single Port 
interfaces and a single NVIDIA ConnectX-6 dual-port interface for storage.
