Description

The University would like to maximize the number of leading-edge GPUs it can obtain with this
purchase. The GPUs will be added to an existing compute cluster (watgpu.cs) where there are up to

server to hold up to 8x GPUs and leverage spare capacity in the cluster for additional provided
GPUs. uWaterloo will entertain other solutions.
