IBM Enhances Bare Metal Servers With NVIDIA Tesla K80 Dual-GPU Accelerators

IBM (NYSE:IBM) is speeding up clients’ computationally intensive applications by providing NVIDIA® Tesla® K80 dual-GPU accelerators for bare metal cloud servers. This builds upon existing SoftLayer cloud infrastructure, allowing companies to create supercomputing clusters without an increase in their existing technology infrastructure.
As quoted in the press release:

IBM Cloud is already the only cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider to offer GPU-accelerated computing on bare metal servers. And it is now the only IaaS provider to offer customers Tesla K80 GPU accelerators in the cloud. By providing such capabilities in the cloud, IBM gives companies of all sizes easier and more affordable access to supercomputing resources.

Ian Buck, vice president of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA, comments:

With the addition of Tesla K80 GPUs, SoftLayer’s unique cloud offering for HPC will dramatically expand access to supercomputing-class performance, accelerating the pace of important new advances.
