Nvidia Shrinks the Deep Learning Data Center

At its big annual Silicon Valley conference Tuesday, Nvidia unveiled what it said was the world’s first single server with enough computing muscle to deliver two petaflops, a level of performance usually delivered by hundreds of servers networked into clusters.

Aimed primarily at deep learning applications, the DGX-2 system is 10 times more powerful than the Volta GPU-powered version of its predecessor DGX-1, which was only released in September, the company said. The chipmaker’s engineers were able to get so much more performance in the box by packing it with twice the amount of GPUs, upgrading each GPU with twice as much memory as before, using a brand new GPU interconnection technology, and improving Nvidia deep learning software.

The Santa Clara, California-based company is the leading maker of GPUs, which accelerate computer graphics but also run inside machines used to train neural networks, a type of computing system that learns on its own by analyzing vast amounts of data. Neural networks power deep learning, the most widely used type of machine learning that’s driving today’s AI boom.
