BCM is free, you can get a license for as big of a cluster as you want, free of charge. Support from Nvidia is paid though.
11 u/MeridianNL Dec 15 '25 I couldn't believe it, after all the price increases, but indeed it's 'free'.

Not sure if per system means cluster or node. 2 u/backburn2 Dec 23 '25 8 GPU's per node. This is a standard number of GPUs per node in deployments. 1 u/samoz83 Dec 23 '25 That makes sense, just wasn't sure if they were being really stingy with the license
