MLPerf Training v2.1 Showcases Lenovo’s
Commitment to Growth and Enhancement of AI Article
ThinkSystem SR670 V2 Server
Lenovo AI continues to perform
MLPerf™ is the industry’s leading AI benchmark and gives quantitative results
to the consistent improvements from Lenovo round after round. Through this
commitment to consistent competitive testing, Lenovo can provide baseline
delivered performance for artificial intelligence (AI), rather than pure
marketing claims. MLPerf benchmarks were developed with the intent to “build
fair and useful standards”, that provide evaluations of training and inference
performance for hardware, software, and services. These measurements allow
Lenovo to consistently provide best-in-class solutions to their customers.
With customers in mind, Lenovo will continue to take part in these rounds of
metrics and provide transparent viewership to all results. This allows all
parties to formulate informed decisions and judgements based on factual third-
party data points.

Progress is about improvement; Lenovo sees improvement as a basis for customer satisfaction. As technology progresses, Lenovo will continue to benchmark itself against all competition using MLPerf benchmarks. We will continue to provide transparent results, allowing customers to focus on the success of their deployments around the globe.
Lenovo and NVIDIA collaboration
Lenovo utilizes NVIDIA accelerated computing to demonstrate AI performance
across various infrastructure configurations, running on Lenovo NVIDIA-
Certified ThinkSystem platforms. We showcased the efficiency and performance
of our air-cooled systems, providing both PCIe and HGX deployment options in
a standard data center platform that enterprises of all sizes can quickly
deploy.
Lenovo collaborates extensively with NVIDIA on the advancement of AI systems.
Through our Lenovo AI Innovation Centers, we’re working with NVIDIA to ensure
the success of our customers AI initiatives, providing access to Lenovo and
NVIDIA AI experts to aid with consulting on projects, the proper
infrastructure to run a proof of concept, and proof of ROI before deployment.
As the AI world continues to evolve, collaborations make coming to market an
