This allows the customers to choose a customized range of GPU/CPU, through the switching process, that allows the CPU to connect to any amount of GPUs, with NVIDIA NVLink

 

Quote

" NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Ingrasys, a subsidiary of Foxconn) announced today their plans for HGX-1, a hyperscale GPU accelerator for AI and cloud computing. This open-source design is being released in conjunction with Microsoft’s Project Olympus initiative at the OCP (Open Compute Project) conference and is designed to give hyperscale datacenters a high performance and flexible path for the machine learning industry. I see this release part of a larger narrative for NVIDIA, which has truly been seeing incredible momentum in cloud/hyperscale over the past year—their Tesla business tripled (yes, tripled) last year. We’re seeing NVIDIA in a lot of places right now, from Facebook’s Big Basin OCP design to Fujitsu’s 24 DGX AI cluster. The compute model is changing, and machine learning training currently favors GPU computing—NVIDIA’s bread and butter. "

Isn't Forbes the one that always writes those 10 most richest people articles or something or was that someone else.

It is, but they have been doing a bunch of tech articles in the past few years that are actually pretty good.

 

Its a shame their site is one of the worst ones out there, and i refuse to click on any link that goes there (same with WSJ and a few others)

I agree it is a very iffy website, but the person that wrote the article, "Moorhead has been recognized in publications like The Wall Street Journal, Computerworld, Recode, USA Today, Barron’s, Marketwatch, CNBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, VentureBeat, PCMag, ZDNet, CNET, PC World, EE Times, CRN, ABC, BBC, San Jose Mercury News, Austin American Statesman, and many more.

They have written a lot of tech articles too and has been used on The WAN Show. It's just that whenever I hear Forbes, I mostly think about how do rich people get rich, ways you can become rich, or how to invest in stocks or other stuffs to make you rich type of articles.

They just announced their plans today for HGX-1. Haha I think the same thing when I hear Forbes though.

It does not run Crysis. It creates Crysis.

Why post links to archives of the Forbes article? If you're looking at their content, they deserve your click. If you don't want to give them clicks, just go to Toms or ExtremeTech, etc.
