1 Overview
This document describes basic functions and components of the FusionServer G5500 server
server.
The FusionServer G5500 server (the G5500 for short) is a heterogeneous computing server
developed by Huawei for applications including artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance
computing (HPC), cloud computing, and big data processing. Its architecture has optimized to
support deep learning training and reasoning and HPC. Therefore, the server is ideal for AI
research and industrial deployment.
The G5500 is a 4U modular server that features high-performance computing, flexible
orchestration, high-performance large-capacity built-in storage, and easy maintenance.
Market positioning of the G5500 is as follows:
l A flexibly orchestratable, high-performance, and easy-to-maintain basic hardware
platform for AI training and cloud services in Internet and data center scenarios
l A high-density high-bandwidth AI reasoning hardware platform for safe city video
analytics
l A high-performance AI integration-oriented basic hardware platform for HPC
applications
The G5500 consists of compute modules and heterogeneous modules. There are full-width
compute node and half-width compute node.
Different node configuration requires different heterogeneous modules. Table 1-1 describes
the nodes types in different configurations.
