Hey STH, Long shot but before i put it on fleeBay i thought i would throw it up here. Came out of rendsolve.com focusing on GeForce rather than Tesla's. Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 1028GQ-TXR Includes: 2x E5-2620 v4 CPUs 4x Nvidia Tesla P100 16GB SXM2 - NVlink enabled for...

Hey wondering if anyone can shed some light I have a SM with a BPN-SAS3-216A which is faulty, Can a BPN-SAS2-216EB be substituted in? I have no SAS3 drives and its for my homelab, I know the cables will be different but will the backplane fit? Thanks

Yeah i did, It took me 1 week of emailing every single seller in the US to get a hold of them. All but 1 actually sold them to me which by Supermicro is not aloud as they need to be sold pre-configured.

No such thing exists, I bought 2 of these - SYS-1029GQ-TVRT to put 8 that i bought from this seller, Only certian systems accept SXM2 connectors and there is no PCIe adapters and dont expect them.

Improvement will be a similar to Titan V performance over a 1080 ti for all software you mentioned, Its all FP32 bound and wont utilise any of the RT, Tensorcore etc. The 2080 ti is 14 tflops, and a 1080 ti is 11tflops so a small bump but it doesnt warrant an upgrade if you all ready have a 1080 ti.

Expensive for gamers but great for AI, Compared to the $3k Titan V same performance @ 40% of the cost. NVLink unlike the Titan V, Rumors where right and i did not believe that Nvidia would allow NVLink on these.

You answered your own question:

Mondays are usually boring.. Not today though! NVLink Time!

Except Vectordash took too long, and Vast.AI is up and running in the space.

Only NVIDIA can make there 10K GPU obsolete in 8 Months and get away with it. They do it way too often for my liking, Unfortunately i still pay :/ but the space is prime for Competition. Looking forward to Graphcore or similar to come to life and give them a kick in the bum.

Hey, Anyone have experience in purchasing some SFP+ converters? Specifically compatible with the Dell S4810P? Would a Cisco module work?

Linux drivers for thunderbolt a flaky, the driver stated last time i tried last year that it should not be used in production. I know its a home lab but just keep that in mind. The other drawback is only 1 port on each nuc and no Thunderbolt Switch/Hub exists, But you can do direct connect the...

I cannot find a SXM2 server barebone ;( Looking forward to this .. Does single/dual root matter with NVLINK?

I have a motherboard if anyone is interested. Also have 32gb (4x8GB) ram for it also
