The 4 Tesla P100 GPU rig with actual IR photo enhanced with a photograph of the same unit. The server is cranking out 46 tps now with Strata. I wonder if an unlock hack is coming for Pascal.... EDIT: There will be no unlock in the same way for Pascal since there are no tensor cores. But another type of hack may be possible, we shall see! https://lydie.cc/solar-ai-serverv2.html

@Lydie@tech.lgbt Very cool thermal photo! What fan setup are you using to keep these P100 cold? I had a server style T4 which I struggled to keep at a reasonable temperature with a 80mm fan and a 3D-printed shroud.

@Lydie@tech.lgbt Is it correct that none of these GPUs are linked (barring PCIe) but that they have maybe duplicated KV and different layers each? I'm wondering about getting 2+ 16GB cards or 1x 24-32GB one. Pricing-wise there's not much in it, but I haven't priced up any of the rest of the system.

@Lydie@tech.lgbt interesting! I'm using a BOSGAME-439 running Linux. Only 32 gig so far. Prices and availability will impact expansion... This is a really cool project. You beat the price of the BOSGAME by about $200. Well done!
