Introduction
Eliovp provides extremely fast cloud-based servers to a range of customers who
demand the highest-performing CPUs, GPUs, and storage technology for blockchain
workloads. With business growing significantly, Eliovp constantly evaluates the latesttechnologies to deliver its customers the fastest and most reliable services. Eliovp offers
customers a range of solutions that can be purchased and installed in the customer's
data center or a colocation facility, depending on the requirements. In addition, Eliovp
is an expert in blockchain technology and has the expertise to modify the operating
system and other tools to get the most out of Supermicro A+ servers with AMD EPYC™
processors.

Challenges
Eliovp was experiencing an increased demand for its services, including file storage,
rendering performance, and computational performance. In addition to meeting© Copyright 2022 Supermicroperformance requirements for specific deployments, the need for efficient compute(power optimization) as well as the cost and reliability of the infrastructure became very
important due to the scale of deployments. Eliovp recognized that standard servers
need optimization to perform as required for blockchain calculations which arebecoming critical in many industries. With each new generation of CPUs from AMD, a
deep understanding of the internal capabilities of these CPUs is needed, and theexpertise to take advantage of new instructions, memory layout, and the associatedGPU technologies.

SolutionELIOVP“Speeding up Machines andAccelerating People”
Eliovp is a fast growing young
company based out ofBelgium.
Our aim is to maximize eachcomponent’s performance
while reducing its carbon
footprint by lowering its power
consumption at t he sametime.

After careful consideration, for one of Eliovp's projects, Eliovp selected Supermicro A+
servers with the AMD EPYC™ 7543 and AMD EPYC™ 7313 CPUs. These computational
servers also contain the AMD Instinct MI100 series of GPUs. Furthermore, ElioVP has
optimized its software for the AMD Instinct M100, which can be leveraged for the AMD
Instinct MI250. These systems are designed to support up to 32 DIMMs to deliver highcapacity and cost savings based on the demanding requirements. In addition, Eliovp
also acquired storage systems.
The compute servers that Eliovp depends on are based on workload requirements. The
AS -1124US-TNRP is used mainly for PoRep SDR encoding (SHA2-256 hashing of layers).
The most critical feature of the AMD EPYC 7543 was the high core count, SHA-NI
instruction set, and increased processor speed.
Eliovp uses the Supermicro AS -4124GS-TNR servers in this project for a vast amount ofmultitasking, such as Merkle tree generation using the Poseidon hashing algorithm,
which contains dual AMD EPYC 7313 CPUs and 8 GPUs per server. These systems areused for the creation of SNARKS, which utilizes the AMD Instinct GPUs.

Benefits
Once installed, Eliovp saw an immediate improvement in the responsiveness, thethroughput of the CPU servers, and power savings due to the optimized configurations.
Blockchain calculations ran up to 35 % faster than their previous generations of servers.
In addition, by working with Supermicro, Eliovp could acquire and tune the systems
faster than ever before. Customers benefit from this close partnership by being
competitive and joining the vast majority of new blockchain-related projects in lesstime, which increases profitability and lowers costs.
"Our relationship with Supermicro and AMD is extraordinary. We are extremely pleased
with the responsiveness of both companies whenever an issue arises. The servers'
performance is amazing, which increases our business, and reduces costs. By working
with Supermicro, we can get new generations of servers with AMD technology earlier inour development cycle, enabling us to bring our products to market faster."-Elio Van Puyvelde, CEO of Eliovp© Copyright 2022 Supermicro
