G291-Z20 Product Overview

High Density HPC

Supports 8 x Computing Cards

Able to support up to 8 double slot GPGPU or co-processor cards, the G291 enables world-leading HPC within a 2U chassis. The G291 is ideal for HPC applications such as real time analytics, programs in scientific simulation and modeling, engineering, visualization & rendering, data mining, and much more.

 

NVIDIA ^®  Tesla ^®  V100 Support

GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC server systems and motherboards are fully compatible and qualified to use with NVIDIA ^® ’s Tesla ^®  V100 GPU, an advanced data center GPU built to accelerate AI, HPC, and graphics. Powered by NVIDIA’s Volta™ architecture and with 640 Tensor Cores, the Tesla ^®  V100 has broken the 100 teraflops (TFLOPS) barrier of deep learning performance — enabling data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.

High-Speed Networking

GIGABYTE offers 10Gb across dual ports on-board, ensuring that users can get the most out of their system and are well equipped for today’s traffic demands. The server’s network performance is boosted with full-line rate throughput and CPU overhead is reduced, leaving the EPYC to focus on the real compute tasks.

Dense, High Speed Storage Support

Onboard M.2

GIGABYTE AMD EPYC™ platforms are designed to support on-board ‘M.2’ storage devices for time-sensitive operations and leaves room on the standard storage for compute tasks. Delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speeds, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA devices.

Data Security

TPM 2.0 Module*

GIGABYTE’s EPYC™ platform is designed to support Trusted Platform Modules (TPM - discrete cryptographic on-board processors).
