Oracle puts GPU-powered bare-metal servers in the cloud - SiliconANGLE

The platform, announced Tuesday, is intended primarily for organizations that need high-performance computing capacity for artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning projects. Nvidia has been on a recent campaign to make its chips a standard for machine learning development both 0n-premises and in the cloud, and Oracle is the latest endorsement. Bare-metal services essentially give customers a dedicated physical server with pay-per-use pricing. Unlike colocation arrangements, the customer doesn't buy the hardware but rents it. Several other vendors offer bare-metal options, including Amazon Web Services Inc., IBM Corp. and Rackspace Inc., but Oracle claimed its service is easier to provision and cheaper.
