Experiencing the pain firsthand
In 2015, Fengbo became an Arizona State University (ASU) faculty member and built an on-premise HPC infrastructure for his research lab with state-of-the-art CPUs and GPUs. However, hardware technology evolved so quickly that within three years, the system was already two generations behind the state-of-the-art.
“The data-center grade GPU we paid $7,000 in 2015 can barely beat the performance of a $700 gaming GPU for AI training in 2018”, recalled Fengbo. “But we couldn’t afford to upgrade the infrastructure every other year.”
It was clear that building, operating, maintaining, and upgrading an on-prem HPC cluster is not a sustainable model.
