<quote> ... The P100, revealed today <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/05/nvidia_gtc_telsa_p100_pascal/> at Nvidia's GPU Tech Conference in San Jose, California, has 15 billion transistors (150 billion if you include the 16GB of memory) and is built from 16nm FinFETs. If you want to get your hands on the hardware, you can either buy a $129,000 DGX-1 box <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/05/nvidia_dgx_1/>, which will gobble 3200W but deliver up to 170TFLOPS of performance when it ships in June; wait until one of the big cloud providers offers the gear as an online service later this year; or buy a Pascal-equipped server from the likes of IBM, Cray, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, or Dell in early 2017. The cloud goliaths are already gobbling up as many of the number-crunching chips as they can. ... </quote> -- How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
