The successor to the PNYSER48 series, the PNYSRA48 series adds a 9th slot to the rear of the chassis, allowing a single-width PCIe x16 card to be installed next to 8 double-width GPU cards. This new design change is ideal for NVMe deployment or high speed networking like 100 Gigabit EDR Infiniband, 100 Gigabit Ethernet, or 100 Gigabit Intel Omni-Path fabric. Furthermore, an internal storage mezzanine slot (for SAS3 storage deployment without taking up PCIe slots) is also available for integrating device controller solutions. The PNYSRA48 series does not require a specialized domed chassis lid for the power connectors of active GPU cards.
As a dual-root complex GPU server, the PNYSRA48 series deploys a pair of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Skylake/Cascade Lake processors which split the workload of managing 8 GPU cards. The motherboard deploys a set of four PLX PEX8747 PCIe switch chips to provide the connectivity for the 8 GPU card PCIe x16 slots. The PNYSRA48 series also comes with an on-board mezzanine board for Intel Omni-Path 100 Gigabit networking fabric.
Featuring AMI MegaRAC® firmware, the PNYSRA48 series offers support for IPMI 2.0 with iKVM and the DMTF Redfish management protocol. The MegaRAC® SP-X SoC (System-on-Chips) has an AMI generic, user-friendly Graphics User Interface (GUI) called the MegaRAC® GUI. It is designed to be easy to use. It has a low learning curve because it uses a standard Internet browser. You can expect to be up and running in less than five minutes.
The PNYSRA48 series is built around Intel Scalable Skylake & Cascade Lake CPU architectures - ‘Intel® Xeon® Scalable’ Family processors. The new product families provide a wealth of new options in scalability - across compute, network and storage - to deliver solutions for a range of applications.
The Intel® Xeon® Scalable Skylake & Cascade Lake CPU architectures bring improved features and functionality at both the host and fabric levels. These enable performance improvements - both natively on the chip and for future extensibility through compute, network and I/O & storage peripherals.
Intensive and fast algorithmic computing, such as volume rendering, data-parallel vector calculation, multi-layer data linearity transformation, molecular fragments modeling.
High data training and validation iterations for linear and non-linear complex features with multiple processing layers and parameters; rapid object detection and parsing.
