Nvidia Ampere Tesla
It is named after french mathematician and physicist andré marie ampère.
Nvidia ampere tesla. In a move that many believe could be the end of the road for its quadro branded professional graphics cards nvidia on monday unveiled the rtx a6000 and a40 ampere gpus for high end workstations and data centers without the familiar branding. It has also been used in the quadro gv100 and titan v. There were no mainstream geforce graphics cards based on volta. 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.
Nvidia ampere and tesla are the most powerful gpu accelerators for data center servers on the market. Nvidia is helping professionals address these challenges and tackle enterprise workloads from the desktop to the data center with the new nvidia rtx a6000 and nvidia a40. It adds many new features and delivers significantly faster performance for hpc ai and data analytics workloads. The nvidia ampere architecture builds upon these innovations by bringing new precisions tensor float tf32 and floating point 64 fp64 to accelerate and simplify ai.
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. As part of the nvidia dgx 1 system. Nvidia a100 ampere solutions scalable server platforms featuring the nvidia a100 tensor core gpu 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. The ampere microarchitecture is the successor to volta.
Nvidia announced the next generation geforce 30 series consumer gpus at a geforce special event on september 1 2020. Volta was succeeded by the ampere architecture. The first graphics card to use it was the datacenter tesla v100 e g. Built on the nvidia ampere architecture the gpus feature new rt cores tensor cores and cuda cores that accelerate graphics rendering compute and ai significantly faster than previous generations.
The move follows the company s recent decision to replace the tesla v100 with the nvidia a100 and possibly discontinue the titan. First introduced in the nvidia volta architecture nvidia tensor core technology has brought dramatic speedups to ai bringing down training times from weeks to hours and providing massive acceleration to inference. These cards can accelerate many massively parallel tasks and scientific hpc applications or efficiently solve artificial intelligence algorithms. The nvidia tesla a100 accelerator specs performance.
