UMass Dartmouth’s powerful new cluster from Microway affords the university five times the compute performance its researchers enjoyed previously, with over 85% more total memory and over four times the aggregate memory bandwidth. “The UMass Dartmouth cluster reflects a hybrid design to appeal to a wide array of the campus’ workloads. “Over 50 nodes include Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, DDR4 memory, SSDs and Mellanox ConnectX-5 EDR 100Gb InfiniBand. A subset of systems also feature NVIDIA V100 GPU accelerators. Equally important are a second subset of POWER9 with 2nd Generation NVLink- based- IBM Power Systems AC922 Compute nodes.”
Microway Deploys NVIDIA DGX-2 supercomputers at Oregon State University
Microway has deployed six NVIDIA DGX-2 supercomputer systems at Oregon State University. As an NVIDIA Partner Network HPC Partner of the Year, Microway installed the DGX-2 systems, integrated software, and transferred their extensive AI operational knowledge to the University team. “The University selected the NVIDIA DGX-2 platform for its immense power, technical support services, and the Docker images with NVIDIA’s NGC containerized software. Each DGX-2 system delivers an unparalleled 2 petaFLOPS of AI performance.”

Microway Receives NVIDIA HPC Partner of the Year Award
Today Microway announced that it has been recognized with the Americas 2018 NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN) HPC Partner of the Year Award. Microway was presented with this award at the NPN Reception and Awards Ceremony held during the 2019 NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC). “Microway lives and breathes high performance computing,” said Craig Weinstein, Vice President of the Americas Partner Organization at NVIDIA. “They’ve been a long-time partner of ours for many years and it has been a pleasure to see them flourish into one of the most well-respected, knowledgeable companies in the industry.”
Architecting the Right System for Your AI Application—without the Vendor Fluff
Brett Newman from Microway gave this talk at the Stanford HPC Conference. “Figuring out how to map your dataset or algorithm to the optimal hardware design is one of the hardest tasks in HPC. We’ll review what helps steer the selection of one system architecture from another for AI applications. Plus the right questions to ask of your collaborators—and a hardware vendor. Honest technical advice, no fluff.”
