Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
We're tearing down a 70,000, 3000W AMD server by Supermicro that could be used in a supercomputer cluster. Wendell from Level1Techs brought one of these for us to look at in this tear-down. This server has two full systems with 6 total AMD Instinct MI210 GPUs and 2 Epyc CPUs. Wendell has plans to explore AMD ROCm 5 applications on his own channel at a later date, but for now, we get to start with a very educational disassembly.

I'm a retired Network ENgineer. I have not touched a server in 15 years. This sure did bring back memories. Well, not as high tech 15 years ago but still. I wish I could say I miss it, but i do not. So sick of computers I am thinking of buying a prebuilt instead of building one. In fact, still using the PC I build before i retired. 2600K baby! lol Side note. Supermicro? Did they fix the hacked chips added on the motherboard issues? I would be afraid to touch them.

I didn't expect this video to be as interesting as it was, and now it's one of my all-time favorite videos from you guys. EVERYTHING in that is just so well-planned out and I can't imagine how much engineering it took to make something so compact yet have an unbelievable ease of use.

There should be a better AI / ML benchmarking standard or suite so people can get some clearer picture of performance in this world of 100k+ systems..
I'd wanna see this thing and others have a go at deepfaking, mining, GAN-centric projects like neurally generated content etc :)

I had the pleasure of seeing part of a supercomputer array used by the late Stephen Hawking for his physics research being fired up. One thing I noticed about it was how it had so many fans running at full speed when starting up, it was almost as loud as a PS4 Pro!

So, the NAS is getting some work done, but Wedell had some cool shizz to bring with him, I assume from seeing the NAS in the background.
Oh, nvm, it was mentioned right at the end, just as I completed the comment. :rolling_eyes:

Struggling to see how this power density is cost efficient. 70k per 2U in a 44U rack, you're looking at 1m+; most companies don't fill entire cages worth that much. Is this really cost efficient just for density sake?

I'm building my first epyc workstation/server 7551p I've got my supermicro h11ssl-i mobo and 8x16gb ecc 128gb ram on the way I'm excited to make some proxmox vm's and do some messing around.

bravo! what an incredible machine! I can't wait to fire up those FP32/64 systems!! kudos to the crew!! so exciting, what the future holds in store!
good luck !

Send me one of these, Wendell, I need the AI/ML horsepower to Stable Diffusion-generate a non-uncanny valley version of Steve
