Hello,
As the demand for AI and quantum computing increases, we have developed our own system to meet this need.
Features:
- Independent prefabricated or containerized setup
- Requires air conditioning and power supply
- Equipped with management systems for air conditioning, etc.
- Internet access via wired connection, satellite, or cellular network
- Designed for user-side applications, especially for business operations
We envision installing GPU machines tailored for generative AI and quantum computing inside these independent containers or prefabs. Currently, quantum computing primarily involves GPU-based simulations, and these GPUs can be effectively utilized for generative AI as well.
While we anticipate the eventual integration of quantum computers, the immediate focus is on effectively managing and operating GPU systems, with the primary concern being heat management.
Heat Management:
When used for generative AI and quantum computing, GPU machines consume significant power and generate a substantial amount of heat. This heat must be dissipated effectively. Traditional server rooms and offices often struggle with adequate ventilation. Moreover, relying on air conditioning imposes a significant load. By housing these servers in an independent setup, management becomes more straightforward.
High-pitched noise from small fans used to cool these GPU servers can be disruptive and lead to complaints. Installing these high-noise, high-heat machines in a separate building on the premises can provide a more comfortable environment.
Data Handling and Connectivity:
Generative AI and quantum computing tasks are computationally intensive but involve relatively small data exchanges. Although large-scale model transfers require substantial bandwidth, typical usage involves computation lasting 10-30 seconds, with data transfer primarily consisting of text or images.
Given this usage pattern, some degree of communication limitation is manageable. This makes cellular and satellite data options viable, especially in locations where extending internet connectivity is challenging. Even if electricity can be supplied to a remote setup, establishing an internet connection might be difficult. Using cellular or satellite communication allows for quick deployment in areas where setting up traditional communication infrastructure is impractical.
Operational Considerations:
Once operational, these server rooms require minimal physical intervention, provided the initial setup is done correctly and operations are stable. The main challenges involve securing sufficient power and preventing heat-related failures, both of which can be managed with proper planning.
Cost Efficiency:
Depending on the machine performance, such setups can be fully implemented for around 10 million yen. This offers a cost-effective solution for those who find it difficult to afford expensive cloud-based GPU rentals or who prefer to keep data on-site while utilizing AI and quantum computing capabilities.
We invite you to consider this solution for your AI and quantum computing needs.
