    How to connect 200GbE QSFP56 DPU to 100GbE (QSFP28) based Network

    Ah, that makes life very easy! Thank you so much! I was not aware of them being backward-compatible, and hence racking my brain to connect the server into the rest of the network..

    How to connect 200GbE QSFP56 DPU to 100GbE (QSFP28) based Network

    Hi everyone, We recently bought an NVIDIA ARM Devkit with the BlueField 2 DPU, and I am trying to connect it into the rest of our network (once it arrives). The rest of our network is based on QSFP28 100GbE with a 32 * 100GbE switch at its core. What would the best way be to connect the DPUs...

    Infiniband Network for small GPU-Cluster

    Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of planning an Infiniband Network for our new GPU cluster. We want to be able to run simulation / AI workloads across the big GPU nodes and are hence looking to connect everything with a 100 Gb Infiniband-Network. At first, I was thinking of the...

    NVIDIA A6000 vs A40

    Hey everyone, I am just about to order some new GPU servers and am faced with the choice whether to get the 8 * A40, or 8 * A6000 in a 4U server chassis instead. Has anyone of you got any experience comparing the two for such 8 GPU builds? Is there an inherent advantage of one over the other in...

    Hardware question

    As @Agremlin has already mentioned, your GPUs will still be faster than the 9900k. There is only one major difficulty. You need to find a way to get the ML-frameworks, which support your older version of CUDA. Keras can work with Tensorflow, Theano or CNTK, you just need to configure the...

    2-Slot NVLink Bridges for 8 * RTX 2080Ti DL Server

    Hi All, I am currently thinking about adding SLI-Bridges to an 8 RTX2080 Ti build in a Supermicro SuperServer 4028GR-TR for deep learning applications. NVLink bridges available for the RTX series only come in a 3/4-slot spacing, which is too wide in a server setting. Looking at the NVLink...

    took the plunge...

    Hi Venturi, good luck for your dissertation! Have you also considered using a state-of-the-art setup such as GANs coupled with Reinforcement Learning? We use it for different kind of spatial data and early results are looking pretty promising. Sincerely, L.
