There is no standard for Penguin Computing Deep Green that I know of. It is too new of an architecture for the industry to have an applicable standard yet. There are websites (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0060/8894/9794/files/volta-marketing-3-reason-why-us-20170925-r4-print.pdf?107032) that talk about the efficiency gains, and how 1 server with one of these GPUs can replace 50 normal servers.
DeepGreen is by far the most energy efficient system UVM has ever purchased, and one of the most efficient computers in the US. Too bad we can’t get credit for it because there is no industry standard. (https://www.uvm.edu/uvmnews/news/uvm-completes-warp-speed-upgrade-its-supercomputer)
