03 Target user

Low-cost parallel compute, wherever the budget is real

01

Algorithm development

Iterate on kernels locally instead of queueing for cluster time.

02

Academic research

Grant-friendly capital cost for a machine a group actually owns.

03

Teaching

A whole class can share eight GPUs without cloud accounts.

04

Startups

Fixed-cost simulation and ML prototyping, no hourly meter.

05

Home labs

Serious hardware for people who learn by taking it apart.

Warranty & testing

Every unit is burned in before it leaves

  • Full hardware diagnostic pass: CPU, RAM, drives, all GPUs.
  • CUDA sample suite installed on every GPU in the system.

Warranty: 1 month full warranty. The unit will be repaired at no cost.

Pickup & shipping

Collect it in Boston, or we crate it

  • Local pickup in Boston, MA. Inspect and power it up on site.
  • Rails, cables and power leads included where applicable.
  • Customizations to RAM, storage or GPU count, quoted on request.
