Development workstation using Tesla P100

■ This is an article posted on June 2017, 2, so the content of the information may be out of date.

This is an example of a proposal we received from a customer about a workstation for developing and checking the operation of a CUDA program using Tesla P100. The budget is around 150 million to 200 million yen, and the specifications allow the Tesla P100 to be installed within the budget.

The upper GPU card such as Tesla P100 is a passive specification, so it is necessary to use it in a case (casing) that considers GPU cooling. Also, it is possible to use it at 200 V, assuming that GPU will be added later.
We have selected a power supply unit and a case (with the configuration proposed this time, there is no problem with using at 100V).

【Main Specifications】

CPU Xeon E5-2620v4 (2.1GHz 8 cores) x2 (16 cores in total)
memory 64GB ECC REG
storage  1TB HDD
network GigabitLAN x2
video TESLA P100+ GPU KIT
Housing + power supply 4U tower case + redundant power supply 2000W (100W at 1000V)
OS CentOS 64bit
