If only my chinese vocab was large enough to understand . I don't understand most of the vocabulary related to technical stuff.

 

However, from what I gathered (and what I watched for like a minute) most of the stuff they're saying is on the slides.

lol, it in English for me

[Delicieuxz]

The embedded OP video is in English for me, as well. The version on the webpage, though, is in Chinese for me. There's an alternate English source here, if it helps anybody.

They're probably not going to release any info about GeForce Volta, but I'm still gonna watch it. It's still interesting to me even if you only understand half of the concept.

Here use this one.

Thought this would be all about cars.

[SteveGrabowski0]

Oh good, it's about a $399,000 gpu.

yeah, a little out of my budget. Wonder if it runs crisis?

Yep a 400 K computer in bed apparently...

Shit, it's 16x Tesla V100 in a box. 

[The Benjamins]

So far nothing new, is this even live or a recording of what happened a few months ago?

?? thanks

you didnt miss a thing over the last 2 hours, its the exact same thing as the conference about 2 months ago, except a slightly newer DGX server ($850,000). at this point I bet they will not announce a single new thing.

It's still the 16x V100 server though right? The old one was P100 based, unless this is another V100 server?

[t4ils]

Yeah, they didn't announce any GeForce stuff (didn't expect them to), but all of their demos were pretty darn cool.

The DGX-2 and HGX-2 are very similar. Both are new products employing Volta hardware, and have 16 GPUs.

 

When Volta was released, the DGX-1 (8 GPUs in a proprietary form factor) and the DGX Station (4 PCIe add-in cards) were upgraded to Volta on all future units (and the Volta hardware is also available for upgrading existing units).

[Carclis]

So he spent the whole time talking about deep learning and AI, right? Pretty much what I expected.

Yea but Nvidia has actually already shown off the Volta DGX-2 which is using the HGX-2 system, they are one in the same in reality. HGX-2 is the platform/motherboard and DGX-2 is the server made from it. Lenovo is also making a HGX-2 server, whatever they are going to call theirs.

 

Quote

The HGX-2 has achieved what Nvidia believes are record AI training speeds. According to an Nvidia statement, the GPU server can process 15,500 images per second on the ResNet-50 training benchmark, and is able to replace up to 300 CPU-only servers.

 

Server makers like Lenovo and manufacturers like Foxconn plan to bring HGX-2 based systems to market later this year. The announcement was made onstage today at Nvidia’s GTC Taiwan event.

 

The first system built using HGX-2 was the DGX-2, which made its debut at GTC in March.

A.K.A being duped in to talking about the exact same thing twice lol.

This literally could be a recording of the last conference and you be hard press to tell a difference.

Next you are going to tell us he is wearing the same leather jacket in every presentation...

Well they need to fund their new campus somehow.
