Nvidia Ampere Dgx A100

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.

Nvidia ampere dgx a100. Announced and released on may 14 2020 was the ampere based a100 accelerator. Nvidia dgx a100 features the world s most advanced accelerator the nvidia a100 tensor core gpu enabling enterprises to consolidate training inference and analytics into a unified easy to deploy ai. While the ampere gpu would remain the key component of the dgx system it will be interesting to see where nvidia goes with the rest of the tech configuration on its dgx a100 systems. It adds many new features and delivers significantly faster performance for hpc ai and data analytics workloads.

Nvidia will give its dgx line of pre built deep learning research workstations its next major update in the form of the dgx a100. Nvidia teases ampere gpu powered dgx a100 supercomputing system ahead of gtc 2020 calls it the worlds largest graphics card. The a100 accelerator was initially available only in the 3rd generation of dgx server including 8 a100s. Nvidia is expected to talk more about ampere during its rescheduled gtc 2020 keynote.

The a100 features 19 5 teraflops of fp32 performance 6912 cuda cores 40gb of graphics memory and 1 6tb s of graphics memory bandwidth. The nvidia a100 tensor core gpu is based on the new nvidia ampere gpu architecture and builds upon the capabilities of the prior nvidia tesla v100 gpu. The dgx a100 could feature anywhere from eight to 16 of the upcoming ga100 ampere gpus with 8 192 cuda cores. This article was first published on 15 may 2020.

Nvidia unveiled its ampere graphics architecture and its most powerful computer yet. Costing 199 000 this isn t a system made for gamers. A100 accelerator and dgx a100. A100 is part of the complete nvidia data center solution that incorporates building blocks across hardware networking software libraries and optimized ai models and applications from ngc representing the most powerful end to end ai and hpc platform for data centers it allows researchers to deliver real world results and deploy solutions into production at scale.
