Product Information:

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 is a modular platform designed
to meet the enterprise AI requirements. It offers optimal
performance for Artificial Intelligence (AI), High Performance
Computing (HPC), and graphical workloads across various industries
such as retail, manufacturing, financial services, and
healthcare.

The SR675 V3 is equipped with features that enable organizations
to leverage GPUs for enhanced insights and innovation. It supports
accelerated computing applications like computer vision, natural
language processing, large-scale digital twins, in-silico trials,
ray-traced rendering, remote visualization, video encoding and
decoding, and automatic optical inspection for quality control.

The ThinkSystem SR675 V3 is built on the 4th Generation AMD EPYC
Processors and is compatible with NVIDIA Hopper, Lovelace, and
Ampere datacenter portfolio as well as AMD Instinct MI Series
Accelerators. It offers optimized performance for visualization,
rendering, and computationally intensive HPC and AI workloads.

To address the challenges of increased power consumption and
heat dissipation, some models of the SR675 V3 utilize Lenovo
Neptune liquid-to-air hybrid cooling technology. This closed loop
liquid-to-air heat exchanger provides the benefits of liquid
cooling, including lower power consumption, quiet operation, and
higher performance without the need for additional plumbing.

The ThinkSystem SR675 V3 can be used in a cluster environment
and can scale out as workload demands increase. With Lenovo HPC
& AI Software Stack, multiple users can be supported within a
single cluster environment. This software stack ensures the
effective and sustainable consumption of Lenovo Supercomputing
capabilities.

Product Usage Instructions:

Ensure that the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 is placed in a
well-ventilated area.
Connect the necessary power supply to the system.
If using GPUs, choose the appropriate configuration based on
your requirements. Options include one or two 4th Generation AMD
EPYC Processors and up to eight double-width GPUs with NVLink
Bridge (NVIDIA HGX H100 4-GPU with NVLink and Lenovo Neptune hybrid
liquid cooling performance or AMD Instinct MI Series
Accelerators).
Select the desired networking option, either front or rear
high-speed networking.
Choose the storage option that suits your needs – local
high-speed 2.5 SAS/SATA/NVMe storage.
If liquid cooling is required, ensure that the model chosen
supports Lenovo Neptune liquid-to-air hybrid cooling
technology.
Install the necessary software stack, such as Lenovo HPC &
AI Software Stack, to enable the full functionality of the
ThinkSystem SR675 V3.
Configure the system settings and network connections according
to your specific requirements.
Monitor the system performance and temperature regularly to
ensure optimal operation.

Note: For detailed installation and configuration instructions,
please refer to the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 user manual.

The ThinkSystem SR675 V3 is built on one or two 4th Generation AMD EPYCTM Processors and is designed to support the vast NVIDIA Hopper, Lovelace and Ampere datacenter portfolio and AMD InstinctTM MI Series Accelerators.
The ThinkSystem SR675 V3 delivers performance optimized for your workload, be it visualization, rendering or computationally intensive HPC and AI.
Most Powerful Compute Platform
The NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU delivers unprecedented acceleration–at every scale–to power the world’s highest performing elastic data centers for AI, data analytics, and HPC applications. The H100 can efficiently scale up or be partitioned into seven isolated GPU instances, with Second-Generation Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) providing a unified platform that enables elastic data centers to dynamically adjust to shifting workload demands. A rack of 13 ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers can generate up to 5 PFLOPS of compute power.
Cutting Edge Cooling Capability
Traditional air-cooling methods are reaching critical limits. Increases in component power especially on CPUs and GPUs have resulted in higher energy and infrastructure costs, extremely loud systems and heightened carbon footprints.
To combat these challenges and dissipate heat quickly, some models of the SR675 V3 employ Lenovo NeptuneTM liquid-to-air hybrid cooling technology.

The heat of the NVIDIA HGXTM H100 GPUs is removed through a unique closed loop liquid-to-air heat exchanger that delivers the benefits of liquid cooling such as lower power consumption, quiet operation and higher performance without adding plumbing.
Solutions That Scale
Whether you’re just starting with AI or moving into production, your solution must scale with your organization’s needs. The ThinkSystem SR675 V3 can be used in a cluster environment using high-speed fabric to scale out as your workload demands increase.
Enabled with Lenovo HPC & AI Software Stack, you can support multiple users and scale within a single cluster environment. Lenovo HPC & AI Software Stack provides our HPC customers with a fully tested and supported open-source software stack to enable their administrators and users for the most effective and environmentally sustainable consumption of Lenovo Supercomputing capabilities.
Our Confluent management system and Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration (LiCO) Web portal provide an interface designed to abstract the users from the complexity of HPC cluster orchestration and AI workloads management, making open-source HPC software consumable for every customer.
LiCO Web portal provides workflows for both AI and HPC, and supports multiple AI frameworks, allowing you to leverage a single cluster for diverse workload requirements.
Get a Hands-on, Concierge Experience
Getting started is easy. At the Lenovo AI Innovation Centers, you can test your own Proof of Concept (PoC) on different hardware and software platforms, including the ThinkSystem SR675 V3. Lenovo data scientists and AI solution architects are available to help you along the way. Lenovo can work with you to develop an end-to-end solution with professional services and deep industry partnerships to ensure your success.
