Plymouth, MA (PRWEB) April 17, 2016 -- Microway, an innovator in High Performance Computing since 1982, has extensive experience supporting deep learning and artificial intelligence solutions. The NVIDIA DGX-1 system furthers these efforts and complements our extensive HPC product portfolio. Microway has received significant interest and expects the DGX-1 system to be an essential solution for users seeking best-in-class performance for training deep neural networks.

The NVIDIA DGX-1 is a fully integrated system with deep learning software and development tools for quick, easy deployment. It contains eight NVIDIA Pascal™-architecture based Tesla® P100 GPUs with a combined 128GB of high-bandwidth GPU memory, 512GB of system memory, and 7.68TB of high-speed SSD-based cache, and features the NVIDIA NVLink™ high-speed interconnect technology. With up to 170 teraflops of half-precision peak performance, the DGX-1 delivers the equivalent throughput of 250 x86 servers.

Users can depend on Microway’s expertise to seamlessly integrate this solution with their existing infrastructure. Employing Ubuntu® Linux and pre-built Docker™ containers with GPU-accelerated deep learning frameworks, the 3U system arrives ready-to-run. Full details are available on Microway’s website.

“Researchers will be able to rapidly train extremely large, deep neural networks. A training process that could take 150 hours on a CPU-based system can now be achieved in as little as two hours on the DGX-1 system,” said Stephen Fried, Founder and CTO of Microway. “Users of computationally intensive applications including astrophysics, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, geophysics, defense and intelligence will also find the DGX-1 system to be a compelling platform,” he added.

Microway is taking orders for the NVIDIA DGX-1 system for deliveries starting in June.
