Wait, how many chips did they cram in there that they're getting 170 TFlops. Even at a very generous 10 TFLOP per chip that would be 17 chips.

NVIDIA Tesla P100 has 21 TeraFLOPS of FP16 performance by their words. So they got 8 chips there.

Yep, they showed a diagram of how it fits together: http://i.imgur.com/xk1daFG.jpg

Check out the specs here: http://images.nvidia.com/content/technologies/deep-learning/...

though I'm most curious about what motherboard is in there to support NVLink and NVHS.

Good overview of Pascal here: https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/inside-pascal/

1 question: will we see NVLink become an open standard for use in/with other coprocessors?

1 gripe: they give relative performance data as compared to a CPU -- of course its faster than a CPU

I wish that made that information more accessible. I wasn't able to find it on the site and it was all I really cared about.
