Introduction to the EB202-CP-UG Server
AIC, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of industrial-strength servers, has collaborated with Unigen Corporation to launch the new EB202-CP-UG. This ultra-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) inference server delivers over 400 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of performance. Built around the robust EB202-CP, the EB202-CP-UG is designed to cater to the most stringent AI needs.
Innovative Design and Components
The EB202-CP-UG is a specialized configuration for AI, designed around a 2U Genoa-based storage server featuring a removable storage cage. By integrating eight Unigen Biscotti E1.S AI modules instead of standard E1.S SSDs, AIC has developed an air-cooled AI inference server with an outstanding performance-per-watt ratio. This innovative design ensures long-term cost savings and efficiency for its users.
Technical Specifications and Capabilities
This advanced server is built on the Capella motherboard platform, accommodating the AMD EPYC (Genoa) CPU and features a unique daughter-card/baseboard for EDSFF signals from E1.S modules. It comes with 128 GB of high-speed DDR5 memory and dual power-efficient modular power supplies. Driven by eight Unigen Biscotti E1.S AI modules, each with twin Hailo-8 AI inference accelerators, the EB202-CP-UG achieves an impressive 21,500 frames per second (FPS) in ResNet_v1_50. Leveraging new AVX technology from AMD server CPUs, it can decode one hundred 720p video streams at 25 FPS each, while analyzing AI on each frame with significant processing headroom.
Partnership and Vision
According to Paul W. Heng, founder and CEO of Unigen, “We are excited to partner with AIC to introduce innovative AI solutions. Their commitment to excellence in every product, especially their storage servers, made it clear that our AI technology would integrate seamlessly.” Michael Liang, president and CEO of AIC, echoed this sentiment, stating, “By collaborating with Unigen to carve out a technological niche in AI, we have successfully demonstrated an efficient, powerful, air-cooled server that aligns perfectly with our customers’ stringent requirements.”
Conclusion and Applications
The EB202-CP-UG, when paired with a Linux Ubuntu OS and VMS/AI software from Network Optix, offers unparalleled safety, security, and peace of mind for IT and security professionals. This innovative server is set to define new benchmarks in AI performance and efficiency, aligning with AIC’s vision of excellence and technological innovation.
