Summary
According to XFRA’s website, each compute node will contain 16 Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs and four AMD EPYC GPUs. This will be coordinated through XFRA’s own orchestration platform, XFRA Cloud. SPAN will use its electrical panel’s energy management functions to provide each compute node with capacity not currently in use. This is “not intended to replace centralized data centers, but instead augment them by accelerating capacity growth at the grid Edge,” SPAN said in its announcement.
