Gigabyte Releases New 1U 4 GPU Server

This is the machine from the top:

The 4 GPUs go in the front compartment.

These are GPU modules that would fit this motherboard:

Note: Having O(Petaflops) compressed in 1U gives us an exascale supercomputer when putting O(1000) nodes next to each other -- a typical size of a well-equipped university supercomputer center, not even a national one.

So neglecting the price tags, exascale computers are now within reach.

If this does not make you nevous, read the first sentences of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exascale_computing:

> Exascale computing would be considered as a significant achievement in computer engineering, for it is believed to be the order of processing power of the human brain at neural level (functional might be lower). It is, for instance, the target power of the Human Brain Project.

It's interesting to see that some of the advertised features of this server are strikingly similar to the "enthusiast/prosumer" lines that Gigabyte already sells.

For a supposedly cutting edge server using the new NVLink tech having only 2x gigabit Ethernet is kinda odd.

How are you going to release a Broadwell based server in 2018? Sourcing Broadwell processors is already difficult today.

Wonder if you can put geforce cards in it ;)

How many hashes on Equihash?
