Introducing Eviden's new AI computing
portfolio - the ultimate solution to unlock AI’s full
potential
Paris, France – May 2, 2024 –
Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing,
today announces its new product line “BullSequana
AI.” This full end-to-end offering includes five new AI
server ranges optimized for AI workloads and is designed to cater
to a diverse range of AI needs. This includes inferencing AI models
at the edge, fine-tuning existing models in enterprise data
centers, or training foundation models with AI supercomputers. Each
model offers varying levels of performance, scalability, and
flexibility, and can be selected based on each specific use case,
budget, and business size.
This offering leverages use-case focused AI
software, including Eviden’s Computer Vision VISuite and global AI
services (specialized consulting services, deployment,
orchestration, industrialization services, and support) provided by
Eviden’s global data scientist team to help clients tackle specific
industry challenges. The BullSequana AI product line will also
offer NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end cloud-native software
platform that accelerates data science pipelines and streamlines
the development and deployment of production-grade copilots and
other generative AI applications.
BullSequana AI 1200H
Flagship ProductAs part of this new
range, Eviden presents its flagship product: the
BullSequana AI 1200H, which combines cutting-edge
technologies in AI acceleration and high-density computing with
specialized consulting services and is designed to support
businesses in achieving their goals more
energy-efficiently.
The first customer for this new offering is
GENCI (Grand Equipment National de Calcul Intensif) and CNRS
(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in France which have
selected the BullSequana AI 1200H with 1456 NVIDIA H100 GPUs to
extend the capacity of their Jean Zay supercomputer, increasing
its peak computing power from 36.85 to 125.9 Pflop/s. Operated by
CNRS’s IDRIS (Institut de développement et de ressources en
informatique scientifique), it will be fully available to users
early this summer in order to answer to a high demand on generative
AI.
The BullSequana AI 1200H is an
enterprise-grade supercomputer specifically designed for use cases
requiring high computational power for training, fine-tuning, and
running inference of large language models (LLMs) and for the
complex systems modeling required by so many industries and
applications today. These applications demand a considerable amount
of computing power due to their large capacity for deep learning
tasks with many different parameters and complex architecture. By
leveraging cutting-edge hardware and software technologies, Eviden
provides highly optimized solutions customized to meet each
client’s specific needs. Its team of experts provides the highest
level of service and works closely with its clients to ensure they
have the support and guidance they need to succeed.
Best-in-Class Energy Efficiency and
Density This offering, specifically designed for AI,
is among the most energy-efficient and dense solutions available on
the market. Because of Eviden’s patented Direct Liquid Cooling
(DLC) technology, Eviden BullSequana AI supercomputers are at least
3 times denser than any traditional air-cooled systems, and
additional heat can be transformed into energy to re-heat nearby
buildings. This solution is built and produced at Eviden’s factory
in Angers, France, allowing businesses to meet their data
sovereignty and security objectives.
AI-Powered Eviden is
collaborating with NVIDIA to integrate some of the most powerful
components in its product portfolio into this new offering,
including NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips. Combined with
Eviden’s Smart Energy and Management Suite, this new offering is
well-positioned to speed up companies’ AI adoption and help them
harness the power of AI. Moving forward, Eviden plans to integrate
NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips.
Dr. Cédric Bourrasset,
Head of Quantum & AI Computing, Eviden, Atos Group,
said, “AI is a transforming force capable of revolutionizing
businesses across industries and sectors by enhancing productivity
and accelerating innovation. However, developing AI applications
requires a great deal of expertise, high computing power, and
energy to design, train, and run AI models. This is particularly
true for foundation models. With Eviden’s new offering, customers
who require reliability, scalability, and versatility to stay ahead
of innovation will have maximized acceleration and the right
expertise in AI to enable them to make their ideas and innovations
a reality.”
“Eviden’s end-to-end solution, capitalizing on
its expertise with the most renowned French and worldwide AI
computing research centers, offers the most complete AI computing
platform to help customers accelerate time to AI operationalization
and industrialization of innovative applications in areas from
healthcare, new energies, material design to legal or mass
distribution” said Stephane Requana, CTO,
GENCI.
“Generative AI is transforming every industry,
and its development demands expertise and sufficient AI computing
resources,” said Serge Palaric, Vice President of Alliances
and EMEA OEMs at NVIDIA. “Powered by the NVIDIA Grace
Hopper platform, Eviden’s new BullSequana AI portfolio, through
collaboration with renowned research centers, accelerates the
deployment of innovative applications across industries.”
