Nvidia A100 Teraflops

Nvidia s dgx a100 supercomputer is the ultimate instrument to advance ai and fight covid 19.

Nvidia a100 teraflops. Response to nvidia s new gpus has been swift. Other specs from the a100 include 19 5 teraflops of fp64 performance double that of the volta v100 nvidia says 6 912 cuda cores 40 gb of memory and 1 6 tb s of bandwidth for all that ram. Nvidia unveiled its selene ai supercomputer today in tandem with the updated listing of world s fastest computers. With this new flagship nvidia chip now on the market domain scientists relying on gpu accelerated scientific simulations codes wonder whether it is time to upgrade their hardware.

If the new ampere architecture based a100 tensor core data center gpu is the component responsible re architecting the data center nvidia s new dgx a100 ai supercomputer is the ideal enabler to revitalize data centers. This article was first published on 15 may 2020. Nvidia s new internal ai supercomputer selene joins the upper echelon of the 55th top500 s ranks and breaks an energy efficiency barrier. The june 2020 edition of the top500 is the first edition listing a system equipped with nvidia s new a100 gpu the hpc centric ampere gpu designed with ai applications in mind.

Nvidia reported that the a100 recently broke a big data analytics benchmark completing a task that took the previous record holder 4 7 hours in just 14 5 minutes. Oracle cloud infrastructure is making available a system featuring nvidia s ampere architecture the next generation of data center computing hardware the a100 shape has been tuned to give the best possible performance and adds to a growing list of performance systems that provide on premises performance in the cloud. Nvidia s latest dgx reference architecture is the company s preferred approach to shipping its highest performance chips. The dgx a100 as the most recent iteration is named is capable of five petaflops of fp16 performance or 2 5 petaflops tf32 and 156 teraflops fp64.
