Nvidia DGX-1, the new Pascal-based smart supercomputer. Nvidia has taken a major step forward in the field of artificial intelligence with the announcement of DGX-1, the world's first deep learning supercomputer based on its promising Pascal architecture. This equipment has a very compact design and can offer researchers the power of 250 servers.

Nvidia DGX-1 brings us one step closer to artificial intelligence

The Nvidia DGX-1 includes no less than eight recently announced Tesla P100 graphics cards, each of which uses a GP100 GPU and 16 GB of HBM2 memory to yield a computing power of 170 TFLOPs FP16. The cards are interconnected with each other using NVLink technology and are capable of recognizing up to 1, 33330 images per day with great energy efficiency and consumption of just 3, 200W. To get an idea of ​​the tremendous progress, it has been possible to increase the power by twelve times against a team consisting of four cards based on Maxwell.

The eight Tesla P100 cards are accompanied by two Intel Xeon processors and a total of 7 cached Solid State Storage Units (SSDs). All this power is offered in a very compact size, similar to that of a gaming computer that we can all have at home. Without a doubt the field of artificial intelligence is advancing very fast and very soon we could have with us true intelligent computers.

Too bad that such a powerful team does not serve you to move the last disastrous games that are coming to the PC, because Tesla cards are not designed for that purpose and also the Nvidia GDX-1 will have an official price of $ 129, 000 so it is not suitable for the pockets of mortals.
