GTX Titans in Cubix

[Peter Chamberlain]

This expander is suitable and certified for our Linux systems that can use 8 GPUs. Unfortunately the Windows and Mac OS do not permit this many, nor six as you suggested.

Does the Linux Liscense come with the full panels? I need the panels also so I take it the Linux license isn’t an additional cost per-se?

If running a Linux workstation then this Cubix should work fine as it is certified (thanks For clarifying Peter!), however how does the perfomance in DaVinci scale with multiple titans over the two x16 gen 3.0 HICs? I can’t seem to find any hard data on that.

Peter will you be at NAB?

if you buy the panels you get 1 linux and 1 mac resolve licence.
we have a linux resolve with quadro4000(display),2 titans ,1 redrocket and a hba card in a supermicro chasis. the performance seems to be good (wish the titan black cards had come earlier).

cubix seems to be a great option if you want to have a full blown (8gpu)system imho.

yes i will be at NAB.. the linux config guide describes the 8gpu config… four GPUs per HBA to supermicro chassis is the only recommended 8GPU config, this SM is connected by 56Gbit Infiniband to a second SM that holds GUI, I/O etc….most of the hollywood guys use a config like this… as do hundreds around the world who want the full 8GPU power….. the linux license comes with the bmd panels, as does a second dongle for mac/windows, .

[Toby Tomkins]

Ok. Great. Thank you Peter. Hopefully I’ll see you at NAB.

Does anyone know how well performance scales with Titans in a Cubix over a gen 3.0 HIC? Ie are over 3 titans per Cubix overkill as the bus is saturated, or are 4 cards running at 70% utilisation better than 3 running nearer 100%?

[Joakim Ziegler]

Pratvish, could you tell me more about your experience with Titans in a Linux Resolve? We’re considering 4 Titan Blacks for upgrading our Linux Resolve, but I’m curious about both performance and stability.

If you want to talk in private, we could do that too, let me know.

So for Linux setup 2x SM is good option ?

It is a bit confusing to me as i have had idea always that there should be 3x SM for some reason.

Maybe i saw it on my dreams 🙂

The config guide details all u need.

hi Joakim,
sorry for the late reply. the experience with two titan have been good and the system is stable .we upgraded from one titan to two titans around 15days back and allseems to be well. would have loved to have the blacks but as we had already invested in one titan we had to go for the same version.
