That's what I find particularly cool about stuff like nvidia DGX systems: they are great at machine learning stuff, but they also have ridiculously high performance for more traditional scientific computing (GROMACS, QUDA, etc). A DGX-1V provides 50+ teraflops for fp64 at a price point that is within reach for many university labs.

Universities do tend to have deep pockets, and research grants do tend to be filed to max out the expenditure on equipment such as hardware. A university being able to afford a piece of kit doesn't mean much about its affordability.
- dgacmu 8y agoYeah.... Not so much. The only university labs I know that are using DGX had them donated by Nvidia. For my lab, we cobble together consumer cards, as does basically everyone else I know.
