Altus XE8318GTSv2
Extreme AI performance, engineered for scale
Overview
Penguin Solutions Altus® XE8318GTSv2 server combines AMD's advanced EPYC Turin CPUs with cutting-edge NVIDIA HGX B300 GPUs to deliver exceptional performance for AI reasoning, inference, training, and LLM workloads.
The AMD EPYC Turin architecture provides a powerful computational foundation with enhanced memory bandwidth and PCIe 5.0 connectivity, while NVIDIA's HGX B300 accelerators deliver unprecedented performance for AI workloads. By integrating NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC technology that delivers 800 Gb/s InfiniBand or dual 400 Gb/s Ethernet connectivity, HGX B300 unlocks ultra-low latency communication essential for real-time inference serving and multi-node AI deployments.
With 1.8TB/s of GPU-to-GPU bandwidth via NVLink and NVSwitch, this server excels at high-throughput scenarios, enabling data scientists, researchers, and AI engineers to deploy production-scale generative AI services, process massive inference requests in parallel, and tackle demanding AI challenges including real-time reasoning, large language model training, and enterprise AI applications across hyperscale deployments.
