LSDTech Releases Monster GPU Server
LSDTech, a South Korean company specializing in high-performance servers, has launched a GPU server based on the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) standard that raises processing speed up to 20% compared to other current products through the company’s own architecture. It also lowers costs and allows the CPU, GPU, memory, and disk to perform at their highest levels.
With this new GPU server, customers from the public sector as well as manufacturing and financial industries do not have to rely on products that use a wire-based network protocol anymore and use LSDTech’s GPU server that provides the same performance at a lower cost.
LSDTech’s GPU server “Monster L2212s-2G” is designed through HVbus (Hyper Virtualization BUS) architecture and it allows the CPU, GPU, memory, and disk to perform at their highest levels.
Most companies that manufacture GPU servers design architectures of their products so that only 60 to 80% of their products’ maximum performance is used to stabilize the CPU. Commonly, the performance does not go over 80% even if the acceleration feature is used. Also, architectures are designed so that only a few CPU cores are used in a limited time.

On the other hand, LSDTech’s research institute for technology designed its architecture so that entire threads on the GPU server operate at a full-time acceleration mode and raise CPU performance to its maximum. The 2U-based GPU server applies same the architecture design to the GPU, memory, and disk so that their performance is increased drastically.
LSDTech’s GPU server’s processing speed is up to 10 to 20% faster than other GPU servers based “NVLink”. This result is more meaningful because its GPU server is applied with the PCI interface that is the industry standard.
“Our latest server which exceeds other GPU servers in performance and costs less at the same time, will display its best performance in the AI deep learning field,” said President Kim Seung-wook of LSDTech. “We are going to become a leader in the industry by helping the server industry that will play a key role in the New Deal policy to reduce costs and improve performance at the same time.
LSDTech is planning to introduce test results related to its latest server on its homepage soon. By upgrading the version of “MAC-T”, which improves disk performance, it has raised disk I/O performance to 2 million IOPS.
