PLUG: Building a 111 terraflop linux monster server for under $20K

Ben Taylor has been building linux machine machines and clusters for the past 8 years. His more notable builds have been assisting with a 600 GPU cluster build/setup for a hedge fund, a wall mounted 11 node cluster with a single shared heat sink (sheet of aluminum):

Ben has also built multiple 4 GPU gaming setups for machine learning. For this meeting he will be going over selecting and building the components for a 10GPU 2CPU socket server capable of 110 terraflops of performance. For the meeting he will also do a live demo demonstrating what this new computer can do with AI and deep learning compared to a more traditional setup.

We will have pizza! Please bring a few dollars to help offset the cost of the pizza.

Just go in the front doors, and follow the signs. We're usually in a conference in the back of the main floor.
