Man I wish we were into AI work in my department at work. I'd love to throw some of these in a cluster to see how they work... I wonder did anyone catch if you can use these to drive video for VDI's? Humm....

They have no video output function in and of themselves, so it probably isn't impossible if you were to really bend over backwards to accomplish it, I don't think they would drive a VDI natively.

I mean you can slice up the M100 cards from Nvidia and use them to host virtual systems as video adapters. Just wondering if you can do the same with these. Kind of a pity but these sound more like pure AI cards.
