                            Architecture for Modern Data Centers

 

The SP5 socket has reached its pinnacle form with 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ processors. The same successful platform that was shared by AMD EPYC™ 9004 & 8004 series processors is now the same one for AMD EPYC™ 9005 series processors. With up to 192 cores, increased frequencies and cache, this top tier performance platform targets general purpose, cloud native, and technical computing. Building on the advantages of the EPYC™ 9004 series, the new EPYC™ 9005 series adopts the 3nm process with AMD “Zen5” and “Zen5c” core architecture, excelling in both energy efficiency and cost optimization. GIGABYTE has already prepared for this new processor with new servers and updates to existing products for 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors.

 

                5th Generation AMD EPYC™ Processors for SP5 Socket

 

 

 Key Platform Highlights

 

      • 3nm architecture-Increased transistor density alongside a reduction in power consumption
      • Up to 192 CPU cores-Dedicated “Zen 5” & “Zen 5c” cores increase compute density
      • Up to 512MB L3 cache-An L3 cache increase helps to reduce latency in data-intensive operations
      • 12 channels-Memory capacity up to 9TB in a 2 DIMM per channel configuration
      • Up to 160 PCIe lanes-Dual socket configuration adds a significant amount of I/O connectivity
      • CXL 2.0 support-Disaggregated compute architecture possible via Compute Express Link

 

 

High Performance

 

Servers and motherboards by GIGABYTE are tested to ensure peak performance for demanding workloads while supporting the latest GPU and CXL technology.

Compute Density

 

With 192 CPU cores per socket, GIGABYTE's 4-node servers support up to 1,536 CPU cores, allowing a far greater number of concurrent tasks to be done.

Fast & Stable Connectivity

 

Keeping pace with the challenges for next gen technology, well designed GIGABYTE boards provide users the signal integrity for fast PCIe 5.0 speeds.

Collaboration

 

AMD and GIGABYTE have maintained a healthy relationship that values shared knowledge and open communication in order to launch products in tandem.

Optimal Price

 

Our broad portfolio of products tailored to applications allow customers to only select server features they require while doing so at a lower TCO.

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

 

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.

 

G4L3‑ZD1‑LAX5 GPU Server

High Performance

 

Support Various Computing Accelerators

 

GIGABYTE servers have been tested and validated across a range of workloads with various computing accelerators designed to deliver high levels of performance for 3D rendering, deep learning and high-performance computing, which enables content creators, data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.

 

 

CXL in GIGABYTE Servers

CXL technology has been tested in GIGABYTE servers to support flexible memory configurations for AI, HPC, and cloud applications. By enabling high-speed, cache-coherent connections between CPUs and attached devices, it enhances resource utilization and improves memory capacity with near-direct-attached-DRAM latency.

CPU & DIMM DRAM: Fastest access via traditional memory.
PCIe-Attached DRAM: GIGABYTE servers are validated for CXL, supporting memory expansion via E3.S PCIe or additional cards for greater flexibility.
Storage-Attached Memory: Memory expansion through storage devices, enhancing scalability and resource allocation via SSDs/HDDs.

 

 

 

Power Efficiency

 

Automatic Fan Speed Control
GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.

User Friendly

 

Tool-less Drive Bays Design
Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds.

Certified Ready with Software Partners

 

Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization.

High Availability

 

Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)
To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.

Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP)

 

SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss.

Dual ROM Architecture

 

If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.

 

Value-added Management

GIGABYTE Management Console

  • For management and maintenance of a server or a small cluster, users can use the GIGABYTE Management Console, which is pre-installed on each server. Once the servers are running, IT staff can perform real-time health monitoring and management on each server through the browser-based graphical user interface. 

 

  • Support for standard IPMI specifications that allows users to integrate services into a single platform through an open interface 

 

  • Automatic event recording, which can record system behavior 30 seconds before an event occurs, making it easier to determine subsequent actions 

 

  • Integrate SAS/SATA/NVMe devices and RAID controller firmware into GIGABYTE Management Console to monitor and control Broadcom® MegaRAID adapters

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

 

GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. GSM can be run on all GIGABYTE servers and has support for Windows and Linux. GSM can be downloaded from the GIGABYTE website and complies with IPMI and Redfish standards. GSM includes a complete range of system management functions that includes the following utilities:

  • GSM Server: A software program that provides real-time, remote control using a graphical user interface through an administrator’s computer or through a server in the cluster.
  • GSM CLI: A command-line interface for monitoring and managing remotely.
  • GSM Agent: Installed on each GIGABYTE server node to retrieve system and device information through the OS, integrating with GSM Server or CLI.
  • GSM Mobile: A mobile app for Android and iOS that provides admins with real-time system information.
  • GSM Plugin: An API that allows users to use VMware vCenter for real-time monitoring and management of server clusters.
