NVIDIA has announced a new version of their popular Tesla M40 GPU – one with 24GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory. The name hasn’t really changed – the new GPU is named NVIDIA Tesla M40 24GB. If you…
With the release of Tesla M40, NVIDIA continues to diversify its professional compute GPU lineup. Designed specifically for Deep Learning applications, the M40 provides 7 TFLOPS of single-precision floating point performance and 12GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory.…
The art and science of training neural networks from large data sets in order to make predictions or classifications has experienced a major transition over the past several years. Through popular and growing interest from scientists and…
Here we will explore how to use the Theano and Keras Python frameworks for designing neural networks in order to accomplish specific classification tasks.In the process, we will see how Keras offers a great amount of leverage…
In this Caffe deep learning tutorial, we will show how to use DIGITS in order to train a classifier on a small image set. Along the way, we’ll see how to adjust certain run-time parameters, such as…
Recently, while carrying out memory testing in our integration lab, Lead Systems Integrator, Rick Warner, was able to clearly identify when it is appropriate to choose load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMM) and when it is appropriate to choose registered…
Intel has launched new 4-socket Xeon E5-4600v3 CPUs. They are the perfect choice for “just beyond dual socket” system scaling. Leverage them for larger memory capacity, faster memory bandwidth, and higher core-count when you aren’t ready for…
At Microway we design a lot of GPU computing systems. One of the strengths of GPU-compute is the flexibility PCI-Express bus. Assuming the server has appropriate power and thermals, it enables us to attach GPUs with no special…
There is a lot of material available on RAID, describing the technologies, the options, and the pitfalls. However, there isn’t a great deal on RAID from an HPC perspective. We’d like to provide an introduction to RAID,…
NVIDIA has once again raised the bar on GPU computing with the release of the new Tesla K80 GPU accelerator. With up to 8.74 TFLOPS of single-precision performance with GPU Boost, the Tesla K80 has massive capability…
