Patrick Moorhead, President & Principal Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy of Nvidia spoke in an interview:
NVIDIA combined Volta architecture with the new, state of the art platform improvements and created DGX-2. The biggest feature in DGX-2 is the new NVSwitch, which enables memory sharing of 16 GPUs. This improves performance as well as reducing latency as the GPUs don’t need to go to main memory as much.
