Avalue unveils latest Emerald Rapids server boards

Building on the success of the Sapphire Rapids series, Emerald Rapids offers higher clock speeds, expanded caches, enhanced memory support, maximum core count per socket, and improved overall performance. These server boards have been meticulously designed to meet the dynamic requirements of high-performance computing (HPC), cloud computing, data analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in data centres.

Unleashing AI and graphics prowess with the HPM-ERSUA

With support for up to 4x full-height, double-wide GPGPU cards, the HPM-ERSUA is specifically designed to enable exceptional high-performance graphics and AI computing capabilities. The server's socket is compatible with 4th Gen Intel Xeon SP, ensuring compatibility with the latest platform without any hardware design modifications. In addition, the integration of cutting-edge DDR5 technologies increases memory speeds from 4800 to 5600 MT/s, enabling better performance compared to the 4th Gen Intel Xeon SP. The server board also features a rugged 2.54mm PCB thickness that provides superior signal integrity and stability for continued, reliable operation.

Elevating bandwidth and connectivity with the HPM-ERSDE

The HPM-ERSDE offers a significant expansion of bandwidth, taking advantage of PCIe Gen5 to unlock opportunities for high-bandwidth acceleration cards. Its wide range of high-speed connectivity features, including 1x 1GbE port, 1x 2.5GbE port, and 2x 10GbE LAN options, ensure speedy data transfer, enabling optimised connectivity and reduced latency. HPM-ERSDE maximises expandability with up to 7x PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, providing a wide range of I/O expansion options. In addition, its flexible storage expansion capabilities are underscored by the provision of 3x Slim SAS 8i (SFF-8654) connectors, each of which can be converted to 2x U.2 ports, to facilitate adaptable and scalable storage solutions.

With their superior processing power, seamless data throughput, and comprehensive management capabilities, HPM-ERSUA and HPM-ERSDE are an excellent choice for various demanding applications, including medical image analysis, manufacturing process optimisation, financial trading, and machine learning models.
