- Recommended hardware configs: ( other options available )
- 1 or 2 RTX 2080Ti, RTX 2070 or Titan V GPU's
- Intel Core i9 with AVX512
- 64 mem
- 1 or 2TB system SSD
"This system always makes me smile when I have it under load"
-- Dr D.B. Kinghorn
Machine Learning / AI GPU Workstation
- Updated version of our "DIGITS" workstation
- Best workstation configuration for GPU focused workloads like DNN's with TensorFlow or PyTorch
- Can train GoogLeNet on a 1 million ImageNet subset for 30 epocs in under 8hr
- Highest quality motherboard
- 4 Full X16, PLX switched, metal reinforced PCIe slots
- Optimal chassis with excellent cooling and quiet operation
Our main platform for GPU accelerated Machine Learning applications
- Recommended hardware configs ( other options available )
- 2 or 4 RTX 2080Ti, RTX 2070, or Titan V GPU's
- Intel Xeon-W 2145 8-core or Xeon-W 2195 18-core
- 128 or 256GB memory
- 1TB system SSD, 2TB data SSD, 4GB storage HD
Note: Some workloads may not scale well on multiple GPU's You might consider using 2 GPU's to start with unless you are confident that your particular usage and job characteristics will scale to 4 cards. We can pre-wire for 4 cards for easy expansion. If you are using Tensorflow multi-GPU scaling is generally very good.
