GPU Expansion Rack Components
Oracle Private Cloud Appliance with GPU expansion provides a scalable platform to build AI and graphics intensive applications. It is built to power the next generation of data center workloads, including:
-
Generative AI inference: real time inferencing for multimodel generative AI pipelines (text, image, audio, video)
-
LLM training and fine-tuning: accelerated performance for fine-tuning medium LLMs and training small LLMs with NVIDIA's transformer engine and FP8 support
-
Graphics-intensive and VDI applications: 3D graphics and rendering workflows with NVIDIA’s RTX and ray tracing capabilities
-
Digital twins using NVIDIA Omniverse: develop and operate complex 3D industrial digitization workflows
-
Media streaming: increased encode/decode density and AV1 support for 4K video streaming
-
HPC: scientific data analysis and simulation workloads with FP32 support
To enable GPU-accelerated workloads in the local data center, Private Cloud Appliance can be expanded with server nodes that have GPUs installed. GPU nodes are delivered in an expansion rack, containing X10-2c GPU L40S Compute Server nodes along with power distribution units (PDUs) and networking components to integrate the additional physical resources with the base rack. Cabling is preinstalled for a full rack configuration, regardless of the number of factory-installed nodes.
For information about connecting an X10-2c GPU expansion rack to the base rack, refer to Optional GPU Expansion in the "Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Installation Guide".
