TSUBAME3.0 gears up for AI supercomputing with 2160 Tesla P100s
by from Techreport on (#2D2Q0)
Nvidia just announced a new partnership with the Tokyo Institute of Technology to create what it calls Japan's fastest AI supercomputer. The machine will be known as TSUBAME3.0, and predictably, this will be the third iteration of the TSUBAME cluster design. The 3.0 version will use Broadwell-EP Xeons in combination with Nvidia Tesla P100 accelerators to achieve an expected 12.2 PFLOPS of double-precision throughput. Nvidia says the new cluster will operate alongside the existing TSUBAME2.5 machine (which uses over four thousand Tesla K20X cards) to crunch up to 64.3 PFLOPS for AI work.
