Running the SSU

When the SSU starts in the default local execution mode, the SSU accepts input from the keyboard or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA-based GUI on the primary monitor.

If you run the SSU from read-only media, such as the CD-ROM, you cannot save user preference settings (such as screen colors).

The SSU supports ROM-DOS version 6.22. The SSU will not operate from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.

To start the SSU:

1.Start the SSU using one of the following methods:

From diskettes: Insert the first SSU diskette in drive A and boot the server from the diskette. You are prompted to insert the second diskette. After loading completes the SSU starts automatically.

From the System Resource or ISM CD-ROM: Boot the server to the System Resource CD and start the SSU from the Utilities menu.

From the Service Partition: Boot the server to the Service Partition and execute the following DOS commands:

C:\> cd ssu

C:\SSU> ssu.bat

2.The mouse driver loads if it is available; press Enter to continue.

3.When the SSU title appears on the screen, press Enter to continue.

Working with the GUI

You can access features of the GUI using the mouse or keyboard:

•Mouse—Click once to choose menu items and buttons or to select items in a list, such as the Available Tasks list. To run a list item, such as one of from the Available Tasks list, select the item and click OK or double-click the item.

•Keyboard—Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight buttons and press the spacebar or <Enter> to execute. You can also execute a menu or button by using the <Alt> key in combination with the underlined letter in the name of the menu or button.

You can have more than one task open at the same time, although some tasks might require complete control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete control by keeping the task as the center of operation until you close the task window.

The SSU has a build-in help system, which you access by clicking a Help button or choosing the Help menu.

SHG2 specifications

Intel SHG2, short for Server High-Performance GPU 2, represents a significant evolution in graphics technology designed to meet the demanding requirements of data centers and high-performance computing applications. Developed to support a range of workloads, SHG2 is particularly optimized for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics.

One of the defining features of the Intel SHG2 is its impressive processing power. With numerous cores capable of parallel processing, it can execute multiple tasks simultaneously, leading to faster computation times. This architecture makes it incredibly efficient for applications that require heavy calculations and real-time data processing.

The SHG2 also embraces advanced fabrication technologies, moving to smaller nodes that enhance power efficiency while delivering higher performance. These innovations not only allow for improved thermal management but also contribute to the reduction of overall energy consumption, making the SHG2 a more environmentally friendly choice for server operations.

In terms of memory support, the SHG2 offers a robust configuration, accommodating high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that ensures quick access to critical data. This feature is essential for applications needing rapid data retrieval and integration, such as deep learning models where every millisecond counts.

Moreover, the SHG2 is built with compatibility in mind. It integrates seamlessly with existing Intel architectures, allowing organizations to leverage their current investments while upgrading their processing capabilities. This compatibility makes it easier for businesses to enhance their infrastructure without undergoing a complete overhaul of their systems.

Another salient characteristic of the Intel SHG2 is its support for virtualization. This allows multiple workloads to be handled simultaneously on a single GPU, maximizing resource utilization and enhancing overall system performance. As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, the ability to virtualize GPU resources becomes critical.

Security is also a major consideration in the design of the SHG2. Intel has incorporated various security features to ensure that data is protected against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities that could threaten system integrity.

As businesses increasingly turn to AI and machine learning to drive innovation, the Intel SHG2 positions itself as an essential tool for those looking to harness the power of advanced computing. With its impressive features, powerful performance, and forward-thinking design, is a strategic choice for organizations aiming to enhance their computational capabilities and meet the challenges of tomorrow's technological landscape.
