Accelerating Artificial Intelligence

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR670 delivers optimal performance for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads while maintaining a low total cost of ownership (TCO).

The SR670 allows up to either four double-width or eight single-width GPUs per 2U node, and is suited for computationally intensive workload requirements for Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), or Inference.

Built on two second-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and designed to support high-end GPUs including NVIDIA Tesla V100 or T4, the ThinkSystem SR670 delivers optimized performance for AI training and accelerated HPC workloads. Capabilities include:

• Up to four full-height, full-length double-wide, or eight half-height, half-length, single-wide GPUs in a 2U form factor
• Up to eight 2.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs and M.2 boot SSDs for storage flexibility
• Support for Mellanox EDR IB, Intel OPA, Intel 2x 10GbE, and Intel 2x 1GbE networking
• Enabled for Lenovo intelligent Computing Orchestration (LiCO) HPC/AI management software

Maximum Performance

As more workloads leverage the performance of accelerators, the demand for GPU density increases. Industries such as retail, financial services, energy, and healthcare are leveraging GPUs to extract greater insights and drive innovation utilizing ML, DL, and Inference techniques.

The ThinkSystem SR670 provides an optimized enterprise-grade solution for deploying accelerated HPC and AI workloads in production, maximizing system performance while maintaining data center density.

Solutions That Scale

Whether you’re just starting with AI or moving into production, your solution must scale with your organization’s needs.

The ThinkSystem SR670 can be used in a cluster environment using high-speed fabric/networking to scale out as your workload demands increase. And, with LiCO, you can support multiple users and scaling within a single cluster environment.

LiCO is a powerful platform that manages cluster resources for HPC and AI applications. LiCO provides workflows for both AI and HPC, and supports multiple AI frameworks, including TensorFlow, Caffe, Neon, and MXNet, allowing you to leverage a single cluster for diverse workload requirements.

Getting started is easy with the Lenovo AI Innovation Centers, where you can test your own PoC on different hardware and software platforms, including the SR670 with Lenovo data scientists and AI solution architects available to help you along the way.

Lenovo can work with you to develop an end-to-end solution for your unique use case with professional services and deep industry partnerships to ensure your success.
