I didn't read the article, but one of the first things that came to my mind was, what OS is known to support 19 GPU's simultaneously?

linux, windows.

They are not seen as actual video related GPU's, rather they are simply number crunchers.

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) Windows 10 can support 28 video outputs. Some graphics card have more than one, each output counts as 1. Last time I mess around with this was on a big ASRock Rack 8x GPU server using AMD cards. Each card had 6 outputs = 48 total. When in windows using AIDA64 GPU bench it could only see 5 cards... let me find the link now.

The end result was AMD had a utility that disabled all but 1 video out put for each card and everything worked fine then.

In the case of the posted systems no video outputs will be used, they are simply number crunchers.
I think Windows 10 has lifted the video output problem tho

Interesting and impressive if windows 10 can handle this. If I recall correctly it was pretty well known that Windows 7 could only support 5 GPU's total, windows 8 6 gpu's.

what about server, and you could unraid then pair them off.
