Supermicro will also showcase and demonstrate a wide range of solutions designed specifically for HPC and AI environments at ISC 2024. The new 4U 8-GPU liquid-cooled servers with NVIDIA HGX H100 and H200 GPUs highlight the Supermicro lineup. These servers and others will support the NVIDIA B200 HGX GPUs when available. New systems with high-end GPUs accelerate AI training and HPC simulation by bringing more data closer to the GPU than previous generations by using high-speed HBM3 memory. With the incredible density of the 4U liquid-cooled servers, a single rack delivers (8 servers x 8 GPUs x 1979 Tflops FP16 (with sparsity) = 126+ petaflops.  The Supermicro SYS-421GE-TNHR2-LCC can use dual 4th or 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, and the AS -4125GS-TNHR2-LCC is available with dual 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs.
The new AS -8125GS-TNMR2 server gives users access to 8 AMD Instinct™ MI300X accelerators. This system also includes dual AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors with up to 128 cores/256 threads and up to 6TB memory. Each AMD Instinct MI300X accelerator contains 192GB of HBM3 memory per GPU, all connected with an AMD Universal Base Board (UBB 2.0). Moreover, the new AS -2145GH-TNMR-LCC and AS -4145GH-TNMR APU servers are targeted to accelerate HPC workloads with the MI300A APU. Each APU combines high-performance AMD CPU, GPU, and HBM3 memory for 912 AMD CDNA™ 3 GPU compute units, 96 “Zen 4” cores, and 512GB of unified HBM3 memory in a single system.
At ISC 2024, a Supermicro 8U server with the Intel Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator will be shown. This new system is designed for AI training & Inferencing and can be directly networked with a traditional Ethernet fabric. Twenty-four 200 gigabit (Gb) Ethernet ports are integrated into every Intel Gaudi 3 accelerator, providing flexible and open-standard networking. In addition, 128GB of HBM2e high-speed memory is included. The Intel Gaudi 3 accelerator is designed to scale up and scale out efficiently from a single node to thousands to meet the expansive requirements of GenAI models. Supermicro’s Petascale storage systems, which are critical for large-scale HPC and AI workloads, will also be displayed.
The Supermicro SuperCloud Composer will be demonstrated for the data center management software, showing how, from a single console, an entire data center can be monitored and managed, including the status of all liquid-cooled servers.

LONDON, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key focus for retail banking operations in recent months. Auriemma Group’s latest series of roundtables tackled the ever-growing space, discussing current usage of AI solutions and how members plan to utilize AI to further enhance their offerings.

“There’s a significant amount of interest in AI across all operational areas,” says Nicole Toussaint, Senior Manager of Industry Roundtables at Auriemma. “Although we’re seeing some hesitation in deploying it, I expect we’ll see some big moves by industry players over the coming months.”
Across all operational areas, firms are hoping to leverage AI to assist front-line employees with navigating their knowledge management systems. This would hopefully improve the accuracy of agent work and help to reduce lengthy training periods. Additionally, firms are considering using the tool enterprise-wide to produce meeting minutes and to assist in communications drafting.
In the Collections and Recoveries space, firms hope to use the tool in their contact strategies. Roundtable members believe that AI can make their contact more effective by creating more bespoke strategies. The technology can help firms decide the optimal time to contact customers, the most effective channel to make contact, and the most engaging messaging and content to use.
Fraud Departments see an opportunity to use AI to improve their current fraud detection models to identify bad actors and fraudulent payments more quickly. Several firms have already partnered with vendors who provide AI-powered fraud mitigation tools.
On the Servicing side, firms are discussing improvements to their chatbot offerings. Currently, many chatbots are FAQ-based, but firms believe that AI can revolutionise the chatbot experience and improve satisfaction scores in the channel.
“We see a clear opportunity to leverage AI to provide dynamic call scripting to front-line agents,” says Toussant. “This would take some of the pressure off agents when servicing and allow banks to provide a more tailored, well-informed customer experience.”
In the Disputes and Chargebacks space, one firm is already using an AI-integrated optical character resolution (OCR) tool to read customer documents provided as proof in a disputes case. Many firms hope to use AI to gain efficiencies in the disputes process. They believe that the tool can help guide agent decisions as they work cases by pulling in bank, scheme, and regulatory policies.
Similarly, in the Complaints space, members see an opportunity for AI to help complaints agents while investigating. AI can not only analyse the materials provided by the complainant but also bring in insights from previously decisioned cases and Financial Ombudsman (FOS) decisions. In this process, the technology can also guide the agent in classifying the complaint type. Some also noted that AI could potentially assist agents with drafting final response letters.
This topic is expected to become an evergreen topic at Auriemma Roundtable meetings, especially as firms identify new use cases and as Auriemma brings in experts from the field to drive further thought leadership.
The next set of roundtable meetings are scheduled for June and July at the Edwardian Hotel in Manchester. If you or any of your colleagues are interested in attending as our guests, please contact us via [email protected].
