Nvidia A100 Hbm

Nonetheless the results do offer a glimpse of what nvidia gpu users can expect from future high performance nvidia products.

The nvidia a100 redstone hgx platform is important since it is a smaller and less complex version of the hgx a100 platform. Nvidia s dgx a100 system packs a record five petaflops of power. Nvidia v100 tensor core is the most advanced data center gpu ever built to accelerate ai high performance computing hpc data science and graphics.

The nvidia a100 tensor core gpu delivers unprecedented acceleration at every scale for ai data analytics and hpc to tackle the world s toughest computing challenges. As we saw with the tesla a100 overview the new gpus have 12x nvlinks per gpu. Tesla p100 for pcie enables mixed workload hpc data centers to realize a dramatic jump in throughput while saving money. The row remapping feature is a replacement for the page retirement scheme used in prior generation gpus.

Every bank in nvidia a100 hbm is equipped with spare rows in hardware. For the first time scale up and scale out workloads. As opposed to traditional page retirement the nvidia a100 row remapper. The star of the show are the eight 3rd gen tensor cores which provide 320gb of hbm memory at 12 4tb per second bandwidth.

For example a single gpu accelerated node powered by four tesla p100s interconnected with pcie replaces up to 32 commodity cpu nodes for a variety of applications. It s powered by nvidia volta architecture comes in 16 and 32gb configurations and offers the performance of up to 32 cpus in a single gpu. Each nvlink provides 50gb s of gpu to gpu bandwidth for 600gb s. As the engine of the nvidia data center platform a100 can efficiently scale up to thousands of gpus or using new multi instance gpu mig technology can be partitioned into seven isolated gpu instances to accelerate.

This feature is used to prevent known degraded memory locations from being used. Moreover the a100 is the first and so far the only ampere based graphics card to surface. Additionally nvidia has confirmed the immediate availability of the a100 for dgx100 systems. Every bank in nvidia a100 hbm is equipped with spare rows in hardware.

Nvidia announces its new a100 pcie accelerator with 40gb of hbm2e memory.
