“HGX-1 is the first instance of what we hope to be a roadmap,” Kim said. Artificial intelligence (AI) computing company Nvidia has revealed its HGX-1, a hyperscale GPU accelerator that consists of eight Tesla P100 GPUs connected via NVLink, Nvidia's high-performance interconnect technology. The project has been announced in partnership with Microsoft, which is planning to use the accelerator in its Project Olympus open server design. In addition to being able to handle more than 1,000 compute cores at once, the new system will be capable of running up to four times faster than current supercomputers.
