Remote Edge Computing Require High-Performance AI and Training Solutions to Support Advanced Workloads to Deliver Increased Productivity

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Manufacturer for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, is expanding its portfolio of AI solutions, allowing customers to leverage the power and capability of AI in edge locations, such as public spaces, retail stores, or industrial infrastructure. Using Supermicro application-optimized servers with NVIDIA GPUs makes it easier to fine-tune pre-trained models and for AI inference solutions to be deployed at the edge where the data is generated, improving response times and decision-making.

“Supermicro has the broadest portfolio of Edge AI solutions, capable of supporting pre-trained models for our customers’ edge environments,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “The Supermicro Hyper-E server, based on the dual 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors, can support up to three NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, delivering unparalleled performance for Edge AI. With up to 8TB of memory in these servers, we are bringing data center AI processing power to edge locations. Supermicro continues to provide the industry with optimized solutions as enterprises build a competitive advantage by processing AI data at their edge locations.”

With these server advancements, users no longer need to send data back to the cloud for processing, only to retrieve the information back to the edge, where it’s required. Customers can now use pre-trained large language models (LLMs) models, optimized for performance and available with NVIDIA AI Enterprise at their edge locations where the data is needed for accurate, real-time decision-making close to the data origination.

“Businesses across industries, including healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and auto, are increasingly looking to leverage AI at the edge,” said Kevin Connors, vice president of partner alliances at NVIDIA. “The new Supermicro NVIDIA-Certified Systems, powered by the NVIDIA AI platform, are built to deliver the highest-performing accelerated computing infrastructure, as well as NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to help run edge AI workloads.”

For example, Supermicro’s Hyper-E server, the SYS-221HE, is optimized for edge training and inferencing and supports dual socket CPUs in a short-depth, front I/O system. The system holds up to 3 double-width NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs, including the NVIDIA H100, A10, L40S, A40, and A2 GPUs. These GPUs give the Supermicro Hyper-E sufficient computing power to process AI workloads at edge environments where data is collected, analyzed, and stored. The Supermicro SYS-221HE is available with front or rear servicing options, allowing this server to be installed in various environments. As an example of the power and flexibility of the Supermicro Hyper-E server, partners such as Eviden are creating Edge AI solutions that enhance the customer experience while shopping in traditional retail outlets.

Supermicro’s advanced edge servers also include:

The Supermicro SYS-621C-TNR12R (CloudDC family) is an all-in-one rackmount platform for Cloud Data Centers. This compact 2U system supports up to two double-width GPUs in a 25.5″ chassis and 4 to 12 SATA/SAS drive bays with optional full NVMe support.The Supermicro SYS-111E-FWTR, a high-density edge system, 1U in height and features a 5th Gen Intel Xeon processor and two PCIe 5.0 x16 FHFL slots, is ideal for a broad range of networking and edge applications.The compact Supermicro SYS-E403-13E delivers data center level performance to the edge in a box PC form factor featuring a 5th Gen Intel Xeon processor and up to three NVIDIA GPUs.

Dr. van Belle to guide scientific exploration and foster innovation in the next era of astronomical research

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lowell Observatory is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Gerard van Belle as the new Director of Science. Van Belle, who has been an astronomer at the observatory since 2011, has been serving as the interim Director of Science.

In his new role, van Belle will lead a diverse team of astronomers and planetary scientists. He will spearhead the observatory’s new Science Vision, which focuses on advancing research capabilities and implementing cutting-edge technological improvements supporting Lowell’s leadership in astronomical research.

Under his leadership, the science department will continue to advance Lowell Observatory’s mission to pursue the study of astronomy, including the study of our solar system and its evolution, and to conduct pure research in astrophysical phenomena.

Van Belle’s own research focuses on fundamental stellar parameters, including the sizes, shapes, masses, distances, and temperatures of various types of stars. He is also renowned for his expertise in optical and near-infrared astronomical interferometry.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Whitman College in 1990, followed by a master’s degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1993, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wyoming in 1996.

Throughout his career, van Belle has been instrumental in the development and commissioning of major optical interferometers worldwide, including the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, the Keck Interferometer, and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. His pioneering work in stellar surface imaging earned him the inaugural Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2002.

In 2011, van Belle joined Lowell Observatory’s science staff, where he applied high-resolution astronomical techniques to detect nearby exoplanets and map stellar surfaces. He served as the Director of the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) in Flagstaff, Arizona, from 2017 to 2018, and subsequently as its Chief Scientist until 2022.

Notably, van Belle was among the astronomers who voted against the definition of ‘planet’ advanced during the 2006 International Astronomical Union (IAU) conference in Prague, which relegated Pluto to being a ‘dwarf planet’ (which according to the IAU resolution is not a planet).

His extensive experience and dedication to advancing astronomical research make him a valuable leader for Lowell Observatory’s scientific endeavors.

“I am honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time for Lowell Observatory,” said van Belle. “Our Science Vision will guide us in exploring new frontiers in astronomy while strengthening our commitment to public engagement and education.”

Executive Director Dr. Amanda Bosh expressed her confidence in van Belle’s leadership: “Gerard’s extensive experience and dedication to our mission make him the ideal person to lead our scientific endeavors. I look forward to working closely with him as we embark on this exciting new chapter for Lowell Observatory.”
