NVidia DGX-2 weighs in at $400K and 1,920 TeraFLOPS

Who needs something like this?!

I want it, sure, but who uses these systems?

Machine learning, simulations. They can't make systems big enough for those workloads.

That makes sense as I didn't even consider AI type scenarios.

The new Tensor cores on top end Pascal and Volta GPUs are specifically focused on machine learning, rather than on rendering. So they are focusing heavily on that workload.

Microsoft is using machine learning as a focus for their next generation video game toolkits, too.
