Composable infrastructure allows customers to utilize any number of CPU nodes to dynamically map the optimum number of NVIDIA® Tesla® V100 GPU accelerators and NVMe storage resources to each node required to complete a specific task. When the task completes, the resources return to the cluster pool so they can be mapped to the next set of nodes to run the next task. The composable infrastructure demos in the OSS booth utilize One Stop Systems expansion hardware and composable infrastructure software solutions from Liqid and Dolphin to provide the dynamic reallocation of GPU and NVMe resources.

“OSS continues to provide the newest solutions to our customers and composable infrastructure is the latest and greatest,” said Steve Cooper, CEO of OSS. “Composable infrastructure using expansion systems allows large numbers of NVIDIA GPUs on the same PCIe or network fabric for use by any node in the datacenter. This flexibility is invaluable for AI, deep learning, RTM, Monte Carlo and image processing applications that benefit from peer-to-peer communication with moderate CPU interaction. Servers, GPUs and storage upgrade on different schedules from the various vendors so composable infrastructure decouples HPC components allowing upgrading at different times, spreading the capital expenditures over many fiscal periods.”

Composable infrastructure is also available as a cloud solution. Data scientists can rent the latest technology composable infrastructure systems and software using operational expenditure budgets rather than capital equipment budgets. One Stop Systems is partnering with SkyScale to provide our composable infrastructure solutions in the cloud.

“Utilizing One Stop Systems hardware, SkyScale offers flexible composable infrastructure solutions in the Cloud,” said Tim Miller, President of SkyScale. “We already offer users cutting edge technology for GPU computing with unprecedented customization. By adding composable infrastructure solutions, we’re increasing the level of customization for our customers.”
