Micron SSDs Qualified for Recommended Vendor List on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72
October 23 2024 - 9:02AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced that its 9550
PCIe Gen5 E1.S data center SSDs have been added to the NVIDIA
recommended vendor list (RVL) for the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system and
its derivatives.
The GB200 NVL72 uses the GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip to
deliver rack-scale, energy-efficient AI infrastructure. The
enablement of PCIe Gen5 storage in the system makes the Micron 9550
SSD an ideal fit for optimizing performance and power efficiency in
AI workloads like large-scale training of AI models, real-time
trillion-parameter language model inference and high-performance
computing (HPC) tasks.
Micron 9550 delivers world-class AI workload performance
and power efficiency:
Compared with other industry offerings, the 9550 SSD delivers up
to 34% higher throughput for NVIDIA Magnum IO™ GPUDirect® (GDS) and
up to 33% faster workload completion times in graph neural network
(GNN) training with Big Accelerator Memory (BaM).1 The Micron 9550
SSD saves energy and sets new sustainability benchmarks by
consuming 81% less SSD energy per 1TB transferred than other SSD
offerings with NVIDIA Magnum IO GDS and up to 43% lower SSD power
in GNN training with BaM.1
“Micron’s memory and storage products play a critical role in
meeting the growing requirements of demanding AI workloads from the
data center to the edge,” said Jeremy Werner, corporate vice
president and general manager of Micron’s Storage Business Unit.
“By integrating the Micron 9550 SSD on the GB200 NVL72, server
companies can integrate a high-performance, energy-efficient Gen5
data center storage solution into their AI server systems.”
“Ultra-fast and energy-efficient NVMe storage is crucial to the
NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 rack-scale design,” said Keith Morris, vice
president of Product Management at NVIDIA. “The Micron 9550 SSD can
be integrated by our solution partners into their systems based on
the GB200 NVL72 reference architecture to enable higher performance
and efficiency.”
In addition to the Micron 9550 PRO PCIe Gen5 3.84TB, 7.68TB, and
15.36TB E1.S SSDs, the Micron 7450 PRO 3.84TB E1.S and 1.92TB M.2
SSDs have also been listed on the same NVIDIA RVL. Micron is
working closely with server ODMs and OEMs to qualify the Micron
9550 and 7450 SSDs into their NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 solutions.
The NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip will also ship with
Micron's LPDDR5X memory to provide a unique combination of high
capacity, low power and enhanced RAS (reliability, availability and
serviceability) capabilities for AI server infrastructure.
