The Nvidia slides had it at $129,000 a pop

  Wow, cheap, great for startups!

    As of last year prices for general HPC resources were running around $3/GFLOP[1], or about $500,000 for 170TFlops if my math is correct. Sounds like this is a significant cost savings if it fits your use case.

      Uh, using what hardware? The 980 Ti is about 11 TFLOP in half-precision (apples to apples). So 16x 980 Ti cards would take up twice as much rack space for $11k. Your estimate (and NVIDIA's pricing) is off by more than an order of magnitude...

        Isn't the ECC tax around 10x?
        • marshray 10y ago
          So, just do the computation twice and compare the results? OK, so there's twice the power to pay for but it seems like at $129k acquisition cost per 3.2KW consumption you could run for tens of years before break-even.

        A 980 Ti doesn't have FP16 hardware. The only Maxwell based component with such support is their Tegra part.
