SkyScale Announces the World’s Fastest Cloud Computing Service

At the GPU Technology Conference, SkyScale announced the launch of its world-class, ultra-fast multi-GPU hardware platforms in the cloud, available for lease to customers desiring the fastest performance available as a service anywhere on the globe. But for the beggining, who is SkyScale? Just a week ago, One Stop Systems spun off SkyScale as their wholly-owned subsidiary, with the target being to create a world-class environment for their customers.

Can Supermicro’s Pascal Beat Nvidia’s Own DGX-1?

At the GPU Technology Conference, Nvidia introduced its DGX-1 supercomputer. Based on combining the two 20-core Xeon E5 v4 processors with eight Tesla P100 cards, DGX-1 is a 3U server that promises to deliver 85.2 TFLOPS of compute performance (FP32). For a price of $129,000, you can order the DGX-1 system today and get the ultimate performance out of a single rack. Yet during that same event, there might be a product that already upstaged the performance delivered by a single DGX-1 server. On the second day of the show, we encountered Supermicro’s 1U ‘Super GPU’ server. While Supermicro is known as a manufacturer of ultra-dense computers, and is
