ISC HPC: QTC Showcases HPC and AI Solutions With Vertical Applications

Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT, company’s parent of Quanta Computer, Inc.) showcased its HPC and AI solutions with vertical applications at the ISC High Performance Conference 2022, from May 29 to June 2 in Hamburg, Germany.

These solutions combine the company’s hardware infrastructures with software technologies to help build scalable, converged HPC and AI environments across many industries while shortening the time to implement projects so researchers can fully concentrate on their research.

The firm will showcase following solutions and servers that drive faster time-to-value:

QCT Platform on Demand (QPOD): QPOD is a workload-driven and purpose-built solution for academia, research institutes, or medical centers, integrated with hardware infrastructures, cluster deployment, monitoring and management tools to fulfill HPC and AI workloads. On top of the infrastructure, the company has also worked with application ISVs to ensure the solution is pre-configured and pre-validated for HPC applications.
High performance storage: Enabled by Optane persistent memory, Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage (DAOS) offers improvements to storage I/O to accelerate HPC, AI, analytics, and cloud projects. The firm’s storage servers equipped with the DAOS open-source software-defined object store have also brought world-class IO/s and bandwidth as they have ranked on the IO500 and 10-Node Challenge during SC21.

QuantaGrid D53X-1U: 1U compute node server optimized by 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processors with built-in AI Accelerators and Optane persistent memory 200 series to propel DAOS and enable AI, HPC and virtualization workloads.

QuantaGrid D53XQ-2U: 2U server that benefits from DAOS fueled by Optane persistent memory on the Xeon Scalable platform and equipped with acceleration card expansion slots to power AI, analytics, bioscience, HPC, and even cloud computing workloads.

“QCT is excited to bring our latest HPC solutions built for compute and graphic-intensive workloads to ISC 2022,” said Mike Yang, president. “As an infrastructure builder, QCT leverages our robust R&D capabilities and strong software ecosystem support to tune our solutions all the way from hardware to the software stack, accelerating digital transformation in fields across weather forecasting, NGS, molecular dynamics and more.”
