# Deep Learning Supercomputers The NVIDIA DGX-1 is Meant to Meet the Needs of AI Researchers By Meghan Young | Published 2016-04-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nvidia-dgx1 References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/05/nvidia-announces-a-supercomputer-aimed-at-deep-learning-and-ai/) & [nvidia](http://www.nvidia.com/object/deep-learning-system.html) When it comes to artificial intelligence -- just the task of exploring and experimenting with such advanced technology -- there's a lot required and the [NVIDIA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-top-atom) DGX-1 system hopes to step up to the plate. The NVIDIA DGX-1 system is essentially an enclosure for an [8-GPU supercomputing cluster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doudna-supercomputer), which focus on [deep learning applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/encharge-en100). By packaging it in such a way, it hopes to meet the needs of AI researchers. With its own built-in neural network training software that researchers can use or not use, the NVIDIA DGX-1 system provides a lot of support to such endeavors. Of course, such delving into deep learning and AI costs a pretty penny. A single unit costs costs $129,000 -- but isn't the future priceless? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Deep Learning Applications:** The NVIDIA DGX-1 system is designed to cater to the growing demand for deep learning applications, offering a powerful supercomputing cluster. - **AI Research:** The NVIDIA DGX-1 system aims to meet the needs of AI researchers by providing a dedicated platform for their experimentation and exploration in artificial intelligence. - **Neural Network Training:** The built-in neural network training software in the NVIDIA DGX-1 system offers valuable support for researchers working on deep learning projects. ### Where This Applies - **Computing Technology:** The NVIDIA DGX-1 system disrupts the computing technology industry by providing a specialized solution for researchers involved in deep learning and AI. - **Artificial Intelligence:** The NVIDIA DGX-1 system presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence research, enabling researchers to push the boundaries of AI applications. - **Supercomputing:** The NVIDIA DGX-1 system revolutionizes the supercomputing industry by delivering a compact and powerful solution tailored for deep learning and AI experimentation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact AI Supercomputers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-top-atom.md) - [Efficient AI-Training Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-good-computer.md) - [Powerful Robotics Developer Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nvidia-jetson-agx-orin.md) - [Localized AI Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-top.md) - [Deep Learning Laptop Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tensorbook.md) - [High-Performance Computing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-computing-system.md) - [AI Compute Infrastructures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nvidia1.md) - [AI-Powered Supercomputers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-supercomputer.md) - [Next-Gen AI Superchips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vera-rubin.md)
