Oh yea, great chip as well. That cache certainly is expensive! Can I ask... what is the usecase for the cache?

We use the chip general purpose. HFT simulation code, empirically faster.

The GPUs are to train a model. Separate use-case, but we use same hardware for both use-cases so that's why the big cache thing.
