Nvidia Just Made the Most Energy-Efficient Supercomputer of All-Time

When technologists think of "supercomputer" they usually imagine government-owned computers like China's TaihuLight or public-private partnerships like the DOE-IBM's planned Summit. Private in-house supercomputers are much rarer. That makes Nvidia's new supercomputer, the DGX SaturnV, even more surprising. Not only has Nvidia revealed its own supercomputer, but the machine cracked TOP500's list of the 500 most powerful computers and took the number one spot as the world's most energy-efficient supercomputer. It relies on numerous Nvidia's 125 DGX-1s, the "AI supercomputer in a box" units built for deep learning.
