I've been using the P100 on Softlayer and was impressed. Looks like V100 may be 2..3x faster on some tasks, will be interesting to test it.

P.S. with that memory speed, it can probably run 300..400MH/s on ETH.




Genuinely curious: Given that Softlayer bare metal server prices start at 700$ per month is there even remote chance of this actually being profitable?



Nope, that would be hugely unprofitable. To give you an idea:

The P100 instances on Softlayer would cost around $2,000/mo, and would generate approximately $170/mo in ETH when fully optimized. One could probably build a DIY rig with the same hashing power for less than 2k total.
