Yesterday NVIDIA has introduced a new graphics accelerator GP100 in Pascal architecture and the first commercial decision based on it. Â More precisely, as much as eight processors - rack (or shelf) DGX-1 computer. Â DGX-1 system is capable of a peak performance of 170 teraflops for operations with half-precision and today - is the ideal solution for machine learning experiments with artificial intelligence for games. Â After the conference, journalists were allowed to look inside the system, so
we also have the opportunity to see what's inside the computer DGX-1 price of $ 129,000.
DGX-1 production company QuantaPlex system consists of two basic boards. Â On one card there are two 16-core Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 processor (Haswell-EP) and memory LRDIMM DDR4-2133 strips in a set of 512 GB (maximum capacity - 1024 GB DDR4-2666). Â As the disk system in the DGX-1 established four SSD capacity by 1.92 terabytes into a RAID-configuration.
On the second board has eight NVIDIA GP100 graphics processors, each with 16 GB VRAM type HBM 2. Computer DGX-1 height is 3U. Â This is the physical size of 866 × 444 × 131 mm. Â System Weight - 61 kg. Â Peak consumption - 3.2 kW. Â The company notes that the system performance of NVIDIA DGX-1 is equal to 250 computers in a set of dual-processor motherboards with Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3. Â The price of an alternative set of processors alone without accelerators will be $ 2.5 million. In fact,
NVIDIA offers budget supercomputer at the price of $ 129 thousand.
In the US, NVIDIA DGX-1 system will be sold in June. Â In other countries - during the third quarter. Â The supply is provided software for software developers - SDK for Deep Learning - CUDA and special libraries. Â In general, the system is equipped with Ubuntu Server Linux OS.
