Taipei, Taiwan, 18th October 2018 - The G291-2G0 is the latest addition to GIGABYTE’s popular Intel Xeon Scalable HPC server product family, featuring industry leading GPU density due to GIGABYTE’s extensive thermal and mechanical engineering expertise. The highlight of the 2U form factor G291-2G0 is the ability to accommodate up to 16 x NVIDIA P4 single slot cards, the world’s fastest deep learning inference GPU to enable smart, responsive AI-based applications.

The G291-2G0 features dual Intel Xeon Scalable family processors with a TDP up to 205W, 6 channels of memory and 24 x DIMM slots for up to 1.5TB of memory per system, and is future ready for Intel’s upcoming Octane DC Persistent Memory (Apache Pass).

Most importantly, the G291-2G0 has been designed specifically to support NVIDIA’s Tesla P4 accelerator, which has been labelled as the world’s fastest deep learning inference GPU for scale-out servers. The Tesla P4 is described by NVIDIA as being able to slash inference latency by up to 10X in any hyper-scale infrastructure while providing an incredible 40X better energy efficiency compared to CPUs.
