A customer asked us about a workstation for Deep Learning. As a result of hearing about the usage environment, it has excellent half-precision calculation and video memory capacity.TESLA P100We made a proposal with the installed machine.

【Main Specifications】

As a precaution, due to the problem of the cooling mechanism, it is basically impossible to mix P100 and a video card such as GeForce. Also, Tesla P100 installed in this machine cannot be logged in with the GUI in combination with Ubuntu 16.04. If you need to work in the GUI environment, you need a separate video card.
