Compal unveiled integrated system design for Nvidia HGX Rubin NVL8 accelerator at GTC 2026.
At NVIDIA GTC 2026 in San Jose, Compal Electronics (Stock Code: 2324) showcased its high-density AI server solution based on NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, demonstrating engineering readiness for next-generation AI supercomputing infrastructure aligned with NVIDIA's "Six New Chips – One AI Supercomputer" vision. The showcase highlighted Compal's capabilities in supporting the NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture, a comprehensive heterogeneous computing platform designed to address evolving data center requirements.
The NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture integrates the NVIDIA Vera CPU, NVIDIA Rubin GPU, NVIDIA NVLink 6 Switch, NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, and NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNIC. Powered by NVLink 6 switching technology, the NVL72 rack-scale configuration delivers up to 260 TB/s of total bandwidth and enables 3.6 TB/s of all-to-all bandwidth per GPU, supporting MoE models and large-scale training and inference workloads. Compal is introducing the SG231-2-L1, based on NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, while also featuring an NVIDIA Vera CPU HPM module based on NVIDIA HGX systems to highlight manufacturing capabilities aligned with the platform. The company is additionally introducing support for the new NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition, featuring 32GB GDDR7 memory and up to 800 GB/s bandwidth for AI inference, data processing, and visual computing workloads.
Alan Chang, Vice President of Compal's Infrastructure Systems Business Group, stated: "Competition in AI infrastructure has shifted from single-node performance comparisons to overall deployment efficiency and long-term scalability. As the NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 platform advances in both performance and power density, data center architecture must evolve accordingly. We are strengthening not only compute capability, but also the load-bearing and expansion capacity of the entire infrastructure stack, enabling customers to establish sustainable deployment models for next-generation AI workloads."
