A user has shared the configuration of their home server, designed for workloads requiring high computing capabilities.

Hardware Specifications

The system includes:

  • 4 AMD Instinct MI50 GPUs with 32GB of VRAM each.
  • 2 Intel Xeon 8260L CPUs.
  • 2TB of DDR4 RAM.
  • Custom VBIOS for Linux.

The choice of components like these suggests an interest in running large models locally, leveraging the computing power of the GPUs and the large memory capacity.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs in terms of initial (CapEx) and operational (OpEx) costs, energy consumption, and cooling requirements, which AI-RADAR analyzes in detail in the /llm-onpremise section.

Considerations

The use of a custom VBIOS indicates a desire to optimize the performance of the MI50 GPUs under Linux. Further details on the software configuration and planned workloads would be helpful to provide more specific advice.
