https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/30/nvidia_hgx2_hyperscale_gpu/ > GTC Taiwan Nvidia chose its GPU Technology Conference in Taiwan today to unveil the HGX-2: its latest stack of high-end kit to run artificially intelligent software in data centers and the cloud. > CEO Jensen Huang is particularly enthusiastic about it all because with general-purpose processors running into physical walls, server and device makers are turning to dedicated hardware accelerators to pick up the slack and speed up specialist operations, such as neural-network number crunching. Step forward ASICs and GPUs, like those made by Nvidia's and its rivals, to be those accelerators plugged into CPUs to spread the load.
