We had the same issue for our lab when we were spec'ing up a similar install. The one thing I didn't fully realise is the need of having an Enterprise subscription to run the A100s, H100s and other cards. The drivers for these cards are behind a paywall and for academia it looks like it's around $150 per card, per year to run (if you want to run in a DC - https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/design-vi... ). We bought 3, A100s for the servers and 3 L40's (not L40S) this was limited due to space in the severs. The NVLINKs can be added later (it's just a bridge between the cards) so if you can get them without NVLINK I would. (NVLINK works well with cards stacked vertically rather than horizontally). We also bought a desktop system with dual 4090s (£15k - $18.5k) to start on smaller models before scaling up on our servers with the real grunt work happens. This worked well as many problems can be solved with smaller models before going all out needing 4 H100s. Hope this helps with the planning. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about our setup. (My HackerNews Username is the same as github and you'll find my email address there)
Tried to call a few times and got the busy signal. Just a thought but I would maybe not log the number in the console as it might be leaking your actual phone number to the wider world. Hope it's a burner number.
I make a lot of maps in my spare time and have access to a large scale printer. Give me a ping in the next few days and I'll see what I can do for you.
So has our lab! We should really share some knowledge and experiences. If you ever need another academic lab in London to try some stuff out then give us a shout.

What's even worse is with a certain iOS update that may or may not be launching in the next few weeks will make this advice impossible. 3 words for you - Auto updating apps
