DL methods would not have gained success without the computational power to drive the iterative training process. Therefore, a key component of DL solutions is highly capable nodes that can support compute intensive workloads. State-of-the-art neural network models in DL have more than 100 layers which require computations to be able to scale across many compute nodes. The Dell PowerEdge C4140, an accelerator-optimized, high density 1U rack server, is used as the compute node unit in this solution. The PowerEdge C4140 server used is Configuration M, which supports four V100 SMX2 GPUs.
The PowerEdge C4140 is an incredibly dense rack server designed to handle the most demanding technical computing workloads in DL, ADAS development and HPC. The PowerEdge C4140 provides maximum density and outstanding thermal efficiency for scale-out performance. Speed up your DL development workloads with four GPUs/FPGAs in a 1U, 2-socket package.
The PowerEdge C4140 ML reference designs include:
