That will only have 128GB of unified memory


128GB for 3K; per the announcement their ConnectX networking allows two Project Digits devices to be plugged into eachother and work together as one device giving you 256GB for $6k, and, AFAIK, existing frameworks can split models across devices, as well, hence, presumably, the upthread suggestion that Project Digits would provide 512GB for $12k, though arguably the last step is cheating.


the reason Nvidia only talk about two machines over the network is I think they only have one network port, so you need to add costs for a switch.


It clearly have two ports. Just watch on the right side of the picture:

You will however get half of the bandwidth and a lot more latency if you have to go through multiple systems.


If you want to split tensorwise yes. Layerwise splits could go over Ethernet.

I would be interested to see how feasible hybrid approaches would be, e.g. connect each pair up directly via ConnectX and then connect the sets together via Ethernet.
