AI analytics leader enhances scale, develops new capabilities with new deployment.

Microway, a provider of computational clusters, servers, and workstations for AI and HPC applications, announces it has provided an NVIDIA DGX-1 supercomputer and Microway NumberSmasher Tesla GPU Server to deep-learning leader Vyasa Analytics.

The NVIDIA DGX-1 Deep Learning Appliance delivers performance available when training neural networks and running production-scale classification workloads. The system leverages the power of eight built-in NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs with NVIDIA NVLink Technology and Tensor Cores to boost the speed of deep learning training. According to the company, NVIDIA DGX-1 performs 140X faster deep learning training when compared to a CPU-only server.

The system includes NVIDIA's Deep Learning software stack and NGC containers. According to the company, immediately after installation, the system was ready to train models and scale Vyasa's software. The DIGITS deep learning training system and interface available on DGX-1 helps users manage training data, monitor performance, and design, compare, and select networks.

Microway's NumberSmasher Tesla GPU Servers integrate 1-10 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs with flexible GPU density. These servers are configurable for any customized workload. The Vyasa Analytics deployment utilized this configurability to deploy early R&D environments and test new concepts-scaled up onto the DGX-1 when ready.

Vyasa's deep learning software, Cortex, operating on NVIDIA GPUs and Microway server hardware, applies deep learning-based analytics to enterprise data of a variety of types: text, image, chemical structure, and more. Use cases include analyzing multiple large-scale text sources and streams that include millions of documents in order to discover patterns, relationships, and trends for patent analysis, competitive intelligence or drug repurposing.
