40 GPUs in a 2U Rack Server

Characteristics of backend IVA

Handreds of h.264/HEVC video streams from IPCs

The computation need for decoding and vision algorithm roughly in 1:1 to 1:10 range

Using traditional server: not enough matching HW decoding power, higher FLOPS/Watt, Lower computing density (FLOPS/SpaceUnit)

Many-GPU solution

TK1/TX1 balances the HW video decoding/encoding capabilities with computing power

Lower FLOPS/Watt

Much higher computing density
