Fujitsu, Super Micro to Jointly Develop Energy-Efficient AI Servers

Japanese electronics company Fujitsu and U.S. server maker Super Micro Computer plan to collaborate on developing energy-efficient artificial-intelligence servers to support surging AI workloads. The two companies will leverage Super Micro's "building block" approach and integrate Fujitsu's energy-saving Monaka processor to create an AI server portfolio in response to growing demand for data-center capacity, Super Micro said in a statement late Wednesday. The two companies will also jointly develop water-cooling systems for high performance computing, generative AI and data centers. Super Micro Computers, commonly referred to as Supermicro, is known for making electronic "building blocks" that can be quickly built and assembled into servers in an almost endless number of configurations. Fujitsu's Monaka processor is an Arm-based chip, employing 2-nanometer technology and is set to be delivered in 2027. The AI boom has posed increasing challenges to power consumption. Data centers could use as much as 9% of U.S. electricity by 2030, according to the Electric Power Research Institute.

Fujitsu releasing an Arm-based CPU with help of Supermicro

Fujitsu and server maker Supermicro are jointly working on a platform featuring Fujitsu's upcoming Arm-based high-performance MONAKA processor, as well as liquid cooling systems. The alliance is notable in two ways: Arm chips are known for running cooler than competitors and require less innovation where heat in concerned, and Fujitsu largely walked away from this type of server two years ago. Fujitsu revealed in February 2022 that it would cease manufacturing and selling mainframe systems by 2030, and discontinue its Unix server systems by the end of 2029. A year later, Fujitsu said it would release a successor to its A64FX processor in the form of the new Arm-based datacenter chip called MONAKA by 2027. MONAKA was pitched as an energy-efficient high-performing chip for traditional HPC, in addition to AI and data analytical workloads. This week, the companies detailed how they "will combine their technical capabilities and world-class global reach to offer a market-leading server portfolio," leaning on Supermicro's "Building Block" approach to server design. Supermicro's Building Block approach is billed as a modular option, allowing customers to choose system components optimized for their workloads and applications, making the system scalable and cost efficient. Among the customized choices is thermal management - air-conditioned, free air cooled, or liquid cooled. Fujitsu subsidiary Fsas Technologies "will provide AI platform-based generative AI solutions globally that combine Supermicro's GPU server products and implementation support services for datacenter operators and enterprises." Fsas was spun out in December of last year to manage Fujitsu's PC, server, and storage business sans mainframe or Unix server. While liquid cooling for Arm-based systems is not common, it's not unheard of. For example, the Fugaku Supercomputer is based on Fujitsu's Arm-based A64FX processors and includes liquid cooling piping. The focus on developing liquid-cooled systems suggests a targeted market of machines with higher AI and HPC workloads, a segment that is growing anyway. "As the use of AI continues to grow, demand for datacenter capacity is rising faster than what can be supplied, and one of the biggest challenges is efficiently meeting growing power consumption requirements," Fujitsu stated. "A key focus will be bringing together Fujitsu and Supermicro expertise to further develop rack-scale liquid cooling solutions." ®

Fujitsu, Supermicro working on Arm-based liquid cooled servers for 2027

Fujitsu is collaborating with Supermicro to build liquid-cooled servers by 2027, according to a report by The Register. These liquid cooler servers will be based on Fujitsu's upcoming ARM-based Monaka processor, which is slated to be released in the same timeframe. The combination of liquid cooling and Fujitsu's energy-efficient Monaka chips is aimed at combating sky-high demand for data center capacity, which has become greater than what can be supplied thanks to various factors, including AI. One of the biggest obstacles preventing accelerated data center capacity development the ability to meet the growing power consumption of modern datacenter chips. By combining the efficiency of the ARM architecture with liquid cooling, Fujitsu and Supermicro hope to offer a market-leading server portfolio for their customers. Monaka is the name of Fujitsu's next generation ARM-based datacenter processor. The new chip is aimed at AI, HPC, and datacenter deployments featuring 150 Armv9-A cores with SVE2. Monaka is designed to take full advantage of the power efficiency of the ARM architecture, and Fujitsu has set an ambitious goal of having Monaka be twice as power-efficient as its competitors' chips -- not its competitors' current chips, but those that will be made in 2026 and 2027. Monaka will be built on TSMC's 2nm fabrication process. Fujitsu apparently originally designed these CPUs with air cooling in mind. However, the manufacturer is now shifting gears in this partnership with Supermicro. The main goal is to reduce the size of Monaka-based servers; liquid cooling paired with highly power-efficient processors allows designers to build highly compact cooling solutions. It's also likely that liquid cooling Monaka could result in greater power efficiency gains as compared to air cooling. Testing by SMC has revealed that Nvidia's GPU servers are 50% more power efficient when using submersion liquid cooling compared to air cooling. We don't know how exactly these servers will be setup, but Fujitsu and Supermicro have an opportunity to make some of the densest and most power-efficient servers in the world by 2027, if Fujitsu can deliver on its goals for Monaka.
