AIME RS525 - Configuration
EPYC Rack GPU Workstation
If you are looking for a rack-able 2U GPU workstation, the AIME RS525 rack server is a highly performant and efficient solution.
The AIME RS525 is configurable with up to two of the most advanced GPUs for performing demanding GPU HPC, inference and rendering workloads.
It is powered by AMD latest EPYC™ 9005 CPUs based on 5nm technology: the Turin processor generation. A single CPU can be configured with up to 96 cores which results in a total of 192 available parallel CPU threads.
Up to 3 TB DDR5 Memory
The RS525 can be configured with up to 24 memory modules, which makes an affordable 1.5 TB memory configuration with 24x 64 GB DDR5 modules possible. For highest memory requirements: a 3 TB main memory configuration with 24x 128 GB DDR5 memory modules is available.
With DDR5 memory highest data transfer rates between CPU, storage and sub system are achieved.
The available 128 PCI 5.0 lanes of the AMD EPYC CPUs allow highest interconnect and data transfer rates between the CPU, GPUs, memory and NVMe storage.
AI, HPC GPU Computing Boost
To handle modern compute tasks the most advanced NVIDIA GPUs can be integrated for rendering, GPU compute and AI inference tasks. Choose between following powerful NVIDIA GPU configurations:
Up to 2x NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q 96GB
The NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q
The first GPU of NVIDIAs latest Blackwell generation is the RTX Pro 6000 Max-Q Edition with unbeaten 24.064 CUDA and 752 Tensor cores of the 5th generation.
With the memory increase to 96 GB GDDR7 GPU memory with an impressive 1.6 TB/s memory bandwidth, it is the inception of a new standard in GPU computing.
Up to 2x NVIDIA RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell 48GB
The RTX PRO 5000 is a the workhorse of the of NVIDIAs latest Blackwell GPU generation generation. With its 14,080 CUDA, 440 Tensor cores of the 5th generation, 48 GB GDDR7 memory and a energy profile of 300 Watts. The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell is well ahead of all previous NVIDIA GPU generations with 48GB memory like the RTX A6000 / RTX 6000 Ada and L40S due to its superior performance and even better price/performance ratio.
Up to 2x NVIDIA RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell 32GB
The RTX PRO 4500 of NVIDIAs latest Blackwell GPU generation is a strong and efficient entry card. With its 10,496 CUDA, 328 Tensor cores of the 5th generation and 32 GB GDDR7 memory and a low energy profile of 200 Watts power usage, it is well ahead of all previous NVIDIA generations of RTX A4500/4500 Ada and even RTX A5000/5000 Ada series cards in performance, performance/price and memory capabilities.
Up to 4x NVIDIA RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell 24GB
The RTX PRO 4000 of NVIDIAs latest Blackwell GPU generation is a slim and efficient entry card. With its 8960 CUDA, 280 Tensor cores of the 5th generation and 24 GB GDDR7 memory and a low energy profile of 140 Watts power usage, it is well ahead of all previous NVIDIA generations of RTX A4000/4000 Ada and even RTX A4500/4500 Ada series cards in performance and memory capabilities.
All NVIDIA GPUs are supported by NVIDIA’s CUDA-X AI SDK, including cuDNN, TensorRT which power nearly all popular deep learning frameworks.
12 x NVME SSDs for more then 180 TB High Performance Storage
Beside M.2 NVMe slots for booting the operating system, the RS525 provides 12 NVMe capable drive bays which each can be equipped with up to 15.36 TB SSDs totaling to a raw SSD storage capacity of 180 TB.
Due to the high bandwidth provided by the NVMe SSDs and direct PCI attachment to the EPYC CPU, the performance of NVMe SSDs does scale best with a CPU based software RAID. We recommend the ZFS file system: it provides RAID 0/1/5/6/10 compatible mirroring, stripping with RAIDZ1 and RAIDZ2 levels providing volume encryption, Direct IO (DIO) and Copy on Write (COW) capabilities for data security, scalability and highest storage performance.
High Connectivity and Management Interface
With the available up to 400 Gbit/s OSFP network option the RS525 can take on the role as the central data server on the LAN for serving, preprocessing and receiving fast amounts of data.
The AIME RS525 is completely manageable with ASMB11-iKVM, built upon the ASPEED 2600 chipset, which provides various interfaces to enable out-of-band server management through WebGUI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and Redfish® API.
This makes a successful integration of the AIME RS525 into a larger server clusters an ease.
Energy Efficient Computing
The AIME RS525 offers energy efficiency with 1+1 redundant titanium power supplies, which enable long time fail-safe operation.
ASUS servers achieved most power efficiency positions on the SPEC Power benchmark for energy efficiency.
Optimized for GPU Workstation Applications
The AIME RS525 come with preinstalled Linux OS configured with latest drivers and frameworks like PyTorch. Ready after boot up to start right away to accelerate your applications.
AIME servers come with a 3 year warranty and advanced parts replacement.
