Performance Increases Equal Energy Savings for Bloomberg
From Wall Street + Technology: "Overall, we've achieved an 800% performance increase," Edwards says. "What used to take sixteen hours we're computing in two hours." The GPUs are high speed, running double-precision mathematics at 16 teraflops. And the firm is a little greener now — the server/GPU pairs consume one-third of the energy 1,000 servers would have required and less data center space is occupied”.
