Cisco joins the AI hardware fray with new deep learning server powered by 8 GPUs Cisco Systems Inc. today became the latest data center equipment maker to introduce a system optimized for artificial intelligence. The company has pulled back the curtains on the UCS C480 ML M5, a new four-rack-unit server specifically built to run processor-intensive deep learning workloads. The machine joins Cisco’s Unified Computing System family. UCS servers combine compute resources with networking and storage capabilities, plus management automation software. The C480 ML M5 packs a bigger punch than many of the other systems in the series. It pairs two latest-generation Intel Corp. Xeon Scalable central processing units with eight of Nvidia Corp.’s Tesla V100 graphics cards. Cisco has opted to go with the top-end version of the chip, the SMX2, which packs 32 gigabytes of onboard memory. According to official Nvidia figures, a single V100 provides 47 times the performance of a traditional CPU for deep learning workloads. The chip packs 21.7 billion transistors on a die the size of an Apple Watch face. Those transitions are organized into 5,700 processing cores, including 640 so-called Tensor Cores specifically engineered with AI in mind. *Read More – Silicon Angle*
