Alibaba cloud aws baidu cloud google cloud microsoft azure oracle and tencent cloud are planning to offer a100 based services.

Nvidia a100 card. Nvidia is also expanding its ampere portfolio with a new pcie a100 gpu card. As the engine of the nvidia data center platform a100 can efficiently scale to thousands of gpus or with nvidia multi instance gpu mig technology be partitioned into seven gpu instances to. According to nvidia the new a100 graphics card will offer a 20 times performance boost when running ai powered applications compared with the company s v100 gpu from three years ago. The nvidia a100 tensor core gpu delivers unprecedented acceleration at every scale for ai data analytics and high performance computing hpc to tackle the world s toughest computing challenges.

When nvidia launched its ampere architecture the only way to obtain the a100 gpus was to purchase nvidia s dgx a100 systems available in four and eight gpu configurations or the hgx a100 building blocks leveraged by partnering cloud service providers and server makers. The ga100 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 826 mm and 54 200 million transistors. The a100 sxm4 is a professional graphics card by nvidia launched in may 2020. It is available immediately from nvidia and approved partners.

Built on the 7 nm process and based on the ga100 graphics processor the card supports directx 12 ultimate. This move was widely expected as pcie gpus are still extremely popular.
