AI Workloads Accelerated with Cisco UCS X-Series, Nvidia GPUs, and Cloudera CDP


I’m turning over Authoring of this weblog to Samuel Nagalingam, Product Manager & Hardik Patel, Technical Marketing Engineer, to speak about GPU accelerated large information on UCS X-Series.


 

Enterprises throughout all industries are recognizing the true potential of AI/ML. Data scientists are using giant information units, implementing use instances akin to reworking provide chain fashions, responding to elevated ranges of fraud, predicting buyer churn, and growing new product strains, to say just a few key use instances. The world synthetic intelligence software program market measurement valued at USD $53B in 2021, is projected to develop exponentially within the coming years to achieve USD $850B by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 41% from 2022 to 2030.

According to the analysis report by Tractica, over 330 AI use instances throughout 28 industries will contribute to the market development with vital alternatives in automotive, shopper, healthcare, banking and monetary, telecommunications, schooling, and retail and eCommerce sectors.

To tackle these multi-variate use instances, you want a platform with excessive efficiency, that may scale, is safe and straightforward to handle. In response, Cisco, Cloudera, and Nvidia have partnered to ship hybrid and/or non-public cloud answer that meets all of the above necessities. The structure has the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) software program operating on Cisco Data Intelligence Platform (CDIP) with Nvidia GPUs.

The Big Data structure has developed from a monolithic cluster of storage and compute to desegregated elements of storage and compute.

  • Data Lake (storage): The CDP Private Cloud Base software program operating on UCS X-Series Servers or Cisco UCS M6 Rack Servers present storage and helps conventional information lake environments with Apache Ozone, the following gen file system for information lake.
  • Compute Farm (analytics / AI): The CDP Private Cloud Data Services software program operating on Cisco UCS X-Series servers helps analytics and AI/ML workloads.

The compute farm for Analytics/AI has CDP Private Cloud Data Services deployed on Red Hat OpenShift Container platform or Cloudera Embedded Container Service, operating on UCS X-Series, a future prepared, modular system that meets the wants of recent cloud native purposes and is managed by Cisco Intersight.

Compute, GPUs & 100G End-to End Connectivity

The modularity of X-Series makes it straightforward so as to add or improve particular person components like CPUs or GPUs.

The UCS X-Series X9508 Chassis with 8 slots, accommodates the UCS X210c Compute Node with third technology Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the UCS X440p PCIe Node that helps Nvidia GPUs – A16, A40, A100 & T4. The UCS X210c Compute Node along with UCS X440p PCIe Node will be paired to kind a dual-wide node server with GPUs. You can additional enhance the GPU density per server by including two GPUs to the X210c Compute Node.

  • GPU with parallelization and acceleration can present greater than ~ 10X sooner information analytics and machine studying at a decrease value.

Today, solely Cisco UCS X-Series helps 100Gbps end-to-end in a modular server kind issue.

  • Higher bandwidth additional will increase the AI/ML workloads efficiency.

In the video, we’ve an instance of one in every of Cloudera CDP Data Services, Cloudera Machine Learning, which with its distributed GPU scheduling and coaching for mannequin deployment, permits sooner processing and extraction of insightful enterprise analytics.

 

Cisco had developed Cisco Validated Designs for this structure that may cowl a broad vary of workloads. They present steering on deploying options at buyer web site with minimal threat with 24/7 assist choices.

Summary

The Cisco Data Intelligence Platform with Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) operating on UCS X-Series with Nvidia GPUs and 100G end-to-end connectivity has great computing energy, sooner acceleration, and large bandwidth wanted to deal with the multitude of cloud native AI/ML workloads that clients are operating.
