Impressive setup.

I bought my first GPGPU systems from Colfax International. They performed quite admirably. They were advertised as 1U machines, but showed up with vents on the top and bottom of the chassis that could not be covered up, morphing them into 2.5U machines instantly. Ehhh...

When Google lets the press write about their machines and facilities, they only show the obsolete stuff. It makes me wonder if this is Baidu's current generation, or an older one.

The article doesn't say how a researcher would interface with the cluster from a laptop. Does anyone know how this is typically done?
