Figure 23 : PowerEdge C4140-B P100-16GB PCIe vs C4140-K V100-SXM2: 4GPU
➢ As shown in the plots above in Figure 22 and Figure 23 there is not much difference in
throughput (images/sec) when comparing PowerEdge C4140-Configuration B with V100-
16GB PCIe GPU and Configuration K with V100-16GB SXM2 GPU. The reason is in both
configurations GPUs are in peer-peer mode behind PCIe Switch.
➢ C4140-M shows higher performance compared to C4140-K when using either Intel Xeon
CPU with 12 cores or Intel Xeon CPY with 20 cores.
