Overcoming PCIe Slot Compatibility Challenges for Nvidia Tesla P4 GPU Installation
I bought an Nvidia Tesla P4. It was an unused GPU and came with a 3D-printed cooler and fan. I played around with this GPU on my AI/ML server, and it worked fine. Then I decided to move it to my other server, which runs 24/7. The reason is simple: I have jump hosts and…
Quick and Easy Guide to Installing Meta Llama 3.1 405B, 70B, 8B Language Models with Ollama, Docker, and OpenWebUI
I will show how easy and quick it is to install Llama 3.1 405B, 70B, 8B, or another language model on your computer or VM using Ollama, Docker, and OpenWebUI. It is so simple to install that even a grandmother or grandfather could do it. This is private AI, not cloud-based. All data is on…
Meta Llama 3.1 405B: GPU vs. CPU Performance Evaluation and RAM Considerations
It’s time to start testing various Private AI models, and fortunately, the timing is just right. Meta has just released six new AI language models. These models run on-premises and do not interact with the cloud or OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Llama 3.1 405B competes with leading models like GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, while smaller…

I was so confident that the Crucial T705 4TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD would work with VMware ESXi without any issues that I didn’t even bother to Google or check. I wanted to get and test what it feels like and how much of a performance boost it gives when using the fastest (R:…
AI, ML, and vGPU Server Build – Part 3: The Server Case as a Double-Decker Bus
Those two mining frames in the photo illustrate my idea well, but I plan to use a PC case and build a frame on top of it where I can easily attach different GPUs, essentially connecting 2 PC cases together. The server motherboard is secured inside the PC case, and the GPUs are openly mounted…
AI, ML, and vGPU Server Build – Part 2: Server Noise, Temperature, and Power
Noise: Server not operating: I used the Tadeto SL720 Sound Level Meter for measurement. When only the ESX-Core Server, router, and switch are turned on in my room, I measured the sound and obtained the following results. My computer desk, where I sit: 34.7 dBCabinet on the other side of the wall: 34.7 dB Right…
Supercharging the Future: My Ultimate AI, ML, and vGPU Server Build- Part 1
I am so happy that I was able to surpass my goals and got this server before the beginning of 2024. It’s hard to describe this joy. Initially, the plan was to buy and assemble this server during 2024, but fortunately, I achieved it earlier. Buying from abroad becomes many times more expensive in 2024,…
