INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Nvidia has just announced its HGX-2 cloud server platform, which it claims powers "the fastest single computer humanity has ever created".It
combines 16 Tesla V100 graphics cards, which work together to create a giant virtual GPU with half a terabyte of GPU memory and two
petaflops of compute power
This is achieved using Nvidia NVSwitch interconnect fabric technology, which links the GPUs together to work as a single GPU.The
Instead, it will be capable of high-precision calculations using FP64 and FP32 for scientific computing and simulations, while enabling FP16
computing has changed [] CPU scaling has slowed at a time when computing demand is skyrocketing
training benchmark, and is powerful enough to replace up to 300 CPU-only servers.At Computex 2017, Nvidia announced the HGX-1 which became
pretty popular, being used by companies that rely on massive datacenters such as Facebook and Microsoft.Nvidia has high hopes for HGX-2 as
well, with some major businesses, including Lenovo, QCT, Supermicro, Foxconn and Wiwynn, announcing plans to launch HGX-2 systems this
delivering two petaflops of performance for AI and HPC-intensive workloads
high-bandwidth memory to deliver 125 teraflops of deep learning performance
Pretty exciting stuff.PFHndVHFv97Gt2u8bH5QeP.jpg#
