The networking is water-cooled.
Even the power supplies are water-cooled, so there are no fans in here whatsoever.
Yeah, you can be in here, but it's not noisy.
We don't need ear protection or anything like that, and we can have a conversation.
Here we go.
So this is, we talked about those blades, those vertical structures that we pulled out in one of the cabinets.
And this is what one of the blades looks like.
So it's quite long.
It's surprising really just how long this thing is.
And you can see there are these,
interesting looking things with pipelines.
That's one, two, three, four GPUs here and there's another one, two, three, four on that end and the four actually group together into one server or we call them a node.
This is one node on one end and another node on the other end and we've got eight GPUs in total.
Down the middle is where all the networking goes.
There's actually one network endpoint for each GPU.
So eight GPUs, actually eight network connections.
Those are 200 gigabit HP slingshot for each one.
So there's lots and lots of network connectivity.
The pipes are where the water goes for the cooling.
And the pipes are bright green.
