Bizon workstations

Just recently came across this:

https://bizon-tech.com/us/workstations/deeplearning

"Deep Learning" workstations with up to 4 NVIDIA GPU cards (optionally water-cooled). Pricey. Very likely nice for LC0 though.

Pricey is not even close. You would be insane to buy this work station. I configured something close to what I built. And their parts when not near as good. And it was over 10,000 so I stopped.

And did you look at their wire management? That is an embarrassment for the price they are asking.

Education Pricing Available.

BIZON G8000
Starting at $47,990 In Stock

Maybe this is why tuition at Yale, Stamford etc.. is so high. Their college is buying these machines perhaps. I wonder how in the old days colleges got by without massive computers and artificial intelligence.

BIZON offers discounts to academic institutions and students. Contact us for details.

That's probably why the academic institutions did business with them, because they didn't pay the same prices.

UW had state of the art computers when I went there.
Err... VAX 11/780, a Microvax (first one ever, some kind of prototype/beta) and a PDP 11/70.

You could also get time on a CDC Cyber (60 bits in 1983!) and Cray 1, but not in your first year.
I am not sure if those machines were even on campus because I never saw them physically

w00t, the G500 looks really neat, 4way gpu water-cooling, finally i found a reason to save some money for.
Considering 50K for an Nvidia DGX workstation this is a real bargain, imo.

Caltech had a DECSYSTEM-20 (PDP-10), which was an actual time sharing system (not common in those days - '70s), with 24/7 student access (also not common).

Dann, here is a trip down memory lane.

Timeline_Vax780_2.jpg

"VAX-11/780. The VAX-11/780, code-named "Star", was introduced on 25 October 1977 at DEC's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It is the first computer to implement the VAX architecture. The VAX-11/780 central processing unit (CPU) is built from transistor-transistor logic (TTL) devices and has a 200 ns cycle time (5 MHz) and a 2 kB cache."

Yep, I remember using 20/20 spreadsheet software on a Vax cluster !
