Research Servers

Laboratory

The NVIDIA® qualification guarantees the system's CPU, Tesla T4 and overall system performance under wide-temperature conditions is above par by putting the system through stringent tests and ensures its features can be seamlessly integrated with the NVIDIA® Tesla T4. A&M-Victoria’s AI servers proved itself worthy of our applied research solutions to amplify AI inference performances when we choose Tesla GPU qualified platforms.

As an NVIDIA® Tesla qualified GPU computing platform, PowerEdge T640 is one of the most compact systems. It is a unique industrial-grade edge AI platform supporting dual NVIDIA® Tesla T640 GPU cards. The system allows innovators to run multiple models simultaneously such as engaging advanced applications with false-fail and redundant GPU configurations or assign the two T640s to separate tasks, set one for video transcoding while setting the other for AI inference tasks. It supports 2 Intel Xeon Silver 4214 2.2Ghz 12 core CPUs with expansion capabilities. It also features compact dimensions and low power consumption characteristics. With T640 boosted AI inference processing power, it is ideal for medical image and video analysis, deep learning machine vision, autonomous machines and more.

A&M-Victoria has two PowerEdge T640 with GPU system with following configuration:

CPU: 2 Intel Xeon Silver 4214 2.2Ghz 12 core CPUs
RAM: 512 GB 3200MT RDIMM memory
STORAGE: 16 2TB 7.2KRPM 2.5” SATA Hard Drives (32TB total storage, around 28TB of usable space depending on RAID configuration)
OS DRIVE: BOSS Control Card with 240GB M.2 SSD
NETWORK: Dual port onboard 10Gb ethernet ports, second card with dual 10Gb SFP+ ports
GPU: Nvidia Tesla V100S 32GB GPU card

We have Windows Server 2022 Datacenter in both of them, with SQL server 2019 with machine learning services to perform in- memory analytics. It’s for faster AI computing and parallel processing.
