Asus has presented the expertcentr pro et900n G3 to travel what he calls “The last mile of AI”. It is motorized by the latest NVIDIA solutions and has been designed in a desk PC format.
They say that the most difficult part of transport planning is the delivery of last mile. A network of warehouses and trucks can bring products to a mile of almost all customers, but logistics challenges and costs quickly accumulate in the process of delivering those goods to the right doors at the right time. “There is a similar pattern in the space of AI”Asus says in the presentation of a singular system for its format and power.
The massive facilities of data centers have enhanced amazing AI services in the cloud, but many researchers, developers and data scientists need the power of a specialized machine to travel that last mile. They need machines that offer the comfort and design that saves space of a desktop PC, but that exceeds consumer hardware capabilities, especially with regard to the memory available on the graphics card.
ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3
Asus already introduced into this group of «IA supercomputers» Desktop with the Ascent GX10, a ultra compact of size similar to that of a mini-PC fed by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell. Now, the expertcentr pro climbs a step in performance, but without leaving the desk with its tower format.
Designed from scratch for AI work flows, ASUS EXPERTCENTER PRO ET900N G3 will be one of the first pioneers in a new class of computers based on the NVIDIA DGX station. This system is enhanced by the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra chip, a solution that aims to provide substantial improvements in performance with respect to previous solutions such as GB200.
The integrated includes the CPU ‘Grace’ (an ARM created in collaboration with Mediatek) and has considerably improved the memory system, which now uses the novel factor of form, LPCAMM and scale up to 288 GB of HBM3E RAM. Its network system has also been updated to withstand the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet and Connectx-8 Infiniband networks with a data performance of 800 GB/s available for each system GPU. It has support for NVIDIA network acceleration engines and expansion of optical modules from 800 to 1600 gigabits per second (GB/s) data performance.
The system is executed in the NVIDIA AI software stack, including the DGX operating system, a personalized installation of Ubuntu Linux designed specifically for optimized performance in AI applications, automatic learning and analysis, with the ability to climb in green giant systems.
Much easier to implement than a servers based on rack, Asus indicates that these systems They provide the level of performance in a complete solution key in hand that fits in a desktop. As the size and complexity of the generative models of AI grows, local development efforts face increasing challenges and the objective of the ExpertCenter Pro Et900n G3 is to put the capabilities of an IA supercomputer at the Petaflop scale directly in developer desks, AI researchers and data scientists.
