Technical Roadmap: Hardware Architectures Aligning with Next-Gen Processing

Modern AI processing requires a balance between CPU computation, GPU core acceleration, high bandwidth memory (HBM), and storage throughout. Our current technical roadmap focuses on optimizing bandwidth interfaces and keeping CPU-GPU bottlenecks to an absolute minimum.

Leveraging AMD EPYC (Genoa Architecture) & Intel Xeon

Our server architecture leverages the power of AMD EPYC 9004 series (architecturally codenamed "Genoa") and Intel's Xeon Scalable fourth/fifth generation processors. AMD's Genoa CPUs offer up to 96 Zen 4 cores per processor, providing massive parallelism for CPU-bound tasks, hypervisor environments, and feeding high-speed training datasets to adjacent GPU nodes. By pairing these platforms with PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, we enable transfer speeds up to 128 GB/s per x16 slot, facilitating immediate communication between the main memory buffer and GPU visual pipelines.

Optimizing for DeepSeek & Large Language Model (LLM) Inference

With the rise of locally hosted models like DeepSeek-R1 (671B parameters) and Llama 3 architectures, regional institutions in Italy are increasingly deploying hardware optimized for high-performance tensor computing. Deploying these multi-billion parameter models locally requires optimized GPU configurations:

  • GPU Clustering via NVLink/HGX: Direct GPU-to-GPU memory links bypass the system bus, allowing the model parameters to be split across multiple GPU framebuffers without latency penalty.
  • High Capacity System RAM: Supporting up to 6TB of DDR5 RAM per dual-socket system to allow fast swap operations and pre-processing of large datasets.
  • Compute Express Link (CXL): Incorporating CXL 2.0 protocols to create unified memory pools between CPU and GPU hardware, facilitating ultra-efficient memory usage.

Liquid Cooling & Thermal Management

Thermal stability is a fundamental indicator of system reliability. High-density GPU configurations generate significant heat loads, often exceeding 700W TDP per compute module. NexCore's hardware platforms feature advanced liquid-to-air cooling options, specialized heat pipe assemblies, and custom fan curves. Our designs are thoroughly tested inside high-temperature burn-in chambers to ensure optimal air current dynamics and zero thermal throttling, even when executing round-the-clock machine learning workloads.
