A YEAR OF INNOVATION USING DGX-1 1
FUEL FOR THE AI BOOM September 2015 Building system software stack March 2016 Production of final server prototype May 2015 Inception of DGX-1 November 2015 Integration of Pascal January 2016 Building model of aluminum enclosure December 2015 Connection of multiple GPUs A team of engineers sketches out a radical new topology that will yoke together the eight GPUs inside DGX-1, each with 15 billion transistors. The solution: A Supercomputer equivalent to 250 servers in a box. The design will let users throw eight GPUs at deep learning tasks, or split the system into two separate subsystems to tackle more traditional high performance computing work. 2 NVIDIA
