In the super computing space, Taiwan’s ASUS, the well-known IT products & systems company worldwide, has emerged as a leading provider of servers and network storage systems specific to running HPC (high performance computing) and AI workloads.
Quite recently, ASUS and Ubilink, a Taiwan-based HPC solution provider, have successfully established a supercomputing facility that has positioned Taiwan in the Top-31 on the global TOP500 list of supercomputers delivering 45.82 petaFLOPS, and securing a prestigious 44th ranking on the Green500 list.
This ambitious project, equipped with 128 ASUS ESC N8-E11 servers, each with either NVIDIA HGX H100 servers for a total of 1,024 GPU cards, is set to redefine the standards of AI computing. This top echelon HPC data center is also remarkable for handing customers the freedom to choose packages that draw only on renewable energy.
“The strategic partnership with ASUS has transformed our vision into reality, allowing us to build a world-class supercomputing facility that empowers the next wave of AI innovation in Taiwan and beyond,” said Michael Chen, General Manager, Ubilink.
ASUS, as the infrastructure supplier for this project and similar large-scale endeavors globally, delivers unmatched computing power and stability, reinforcing its commitment to driving AI innovation.
Highlights of the Supercomputing Project:
• World-class facility: The new green-energy AI computing center will feature 45.82 PFLOP/s, making it the largest of its kind in Taiwan.
• Innovative solutions: The data center will offer public cloud services, AI-computing-power rentals and subscription-based services for training large language models, with a focus on smart manufacturing and livestreaming.
• Advanced infrastructure: Equipped with 128 NVIDIA HGX H100 servers and 1,024 GPU cards, this facility is set to redefine the standards of AI computing.
• Rapid deployment: The construction of the data center involved the ASUS Infrastructure Deployment Center (AIDC) tool for meticulous management of infrastructure, cooling systems and advanced automated tools, ensuring reliability and efficiency.
• Superior computing efficiency: The ASUS-Ubilink project uses NVIDIA HGX H100 SXM5 80GB InfiniBand NDR400 servers with a total of 128 nodes of ESC N8-E11. The ASUS Solution Performance Team measured the performance and achieved an Rmax of 45.82 PFLOPS, with an efficiency (Rmax / Rpeak) reaching 66.08 percent.
