Five and a half years ago, one DGX-2 would be in the top 10 supercomputers in the world[1], and you'll probably be able to rent one on EC2 for under twenty bucks an hour before the year's out. You can already get the DGX-1 for under ten bucks an hour right now.
[1] 1920 petaflops of 4x4+4 matrix multiply/add, and see https://www.top500.org/lists/2012/11/ https://www.top500.org/lists/2012/11/
- p1esk 9y agoNo it would not. You are comparing FP16 to FP64 performance.
- twtw 9y agoIt falls around 220th in the November 2012 list, and would make it onto the top 10 for the November 2007 list (comparing Rpeak) and the June 2008 list (comparing Rmax). Systems of comparable performance in the top 10 used between 300-500 kW (30-50x the DGX2). Red Storm, which has a listed Rpeak of 127 TFLOPs and placed sixth in the November 2007 TOP500, was "relatively inexpensive," costing only in the ballpark of $75M (~180x the price of the DGX2).
