One Stop Systems Shipping Platforms with NVIDIA Tesla P100 for PCIe
September 8, 2016 by
Today One Stop Systems (OSS) announced that its High Density Compute Accelerator (HDCA) and its Express Box 3600 (EB3600) are now available for purchase with the NVIDIA Tesla P100 for PCIe GPU. These high-density platforms deliver teraflop performance with greatly reduced cost and space requirements. The HDCA supports up to 16 Tesla P100s and the EB3600 supports up to 9 Tesla P100s. The Tesla P100 provides 4.7 TeraFLOPS of double-precision performance, 9.3 TeraFLOPS of single-precision performance and 18.7 TeraFLOPS of half-precision performance with NVIDIA GPU BOOST technology.
Nvidia Disputes Intel’s Maching Learning Performance Claims
August 16, 2016 by
“Few fields are moving faster right now than deep learning,” writes Buck. “Today’s neural networks are 6x deeper and more powerful than just a few years ago. There are new techniques in multi-GPU scaling that offer even faster training performance. In addition, our architecture and software have improved neural network training time by over 10x in a year by moving from Kepler to Maxwell to today’s latest Pascal-based systems, like the DGX-1 with eight Tesla P100 GPUs. So it’s understandable that newcomers to the field may not be aware of all the developments that have been taking place in both hardware and software.”
Slidecast: Announcing the Nvidia Tesla P100 for PCIe Servers
June 21, 2016 by
In this slidecast, Marc Hamilton from describes the Nvidia Tesla P100 for PCIe Servers. “The Tesla P100 for PCIe is available in a standard PCIe form factor and is compatible with today’s GPU-accelerated servers. It is optimized to power the most computationally intensive AI and HPC data center applications. A single Tesla P100-powered server delivers higher performance than 50 CPU-only server nodes when running the AMBER molecular dynamics code, and is faster than 32 CPU-only nodes when running the VASP material science applications.”
