Yesterday NVIDIA has introduced a new graphics accelerator GP100 in Pascal architecture and the first commercial decision based on it. More precisely, as much as eight processors - rack (or shelf) DGX-1 computer. 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. 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. 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). 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. This is the physical size of 866 � 444 � 131 mm. System Weight - 61 kg. Peak consumption - 3.2 kW. 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. 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. In other countries - during the third quarter. The supply is provided software for software developers - SDK for Deep Learning - CUDA and special libraries. In general, the system is equipped with Ubuntu Server Linux OS.
