NVIDIA announces a supercomputer aimed at deep learning and AI

The sophisticated neural networks underlying systems like Google's Deep Dream and all manner of interesting experiments require a great deal of computing power. NVIDIA proposes to put all that horsepower in a single box, specially engineered to meet the needs of AI researchers. NVIDIA already has GPUs specializing in deep learning applications, so this was a logical next step. It's called the DGX-1, and it's basically a fancy enclosure for an 8-GPU supercomputing cluster. There are 8 Tesla P100 cards in there with 16 GB of RAM each, plus 7 TB of storage for all the raw data you'll be training your networks on.
