NVIDIA DGX A100 - The Universal System for AI and data Infrastructure

Published at:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area is of strategic importance and a key driver of the economic development of countries around the world. The positive effects of the application of AI are reflected in the greater competitiveness of the organizations, faster and better improvement of services and products, and more successful acquisition of users from the competition.

McKinsey’s simulations show that by 2030, as many as 70 percent of companies will adopt at least one type of AI technology. The biggest impacts are expected in the service sector, healthcare, financial services, transport, and autonomous systems. 

Whether you are building an AI infrastructure, operationalizing AI models, or tackling big-data challenges, NVIDIA DGX A100 provides a systemized, powerful enterprise-grade approach to tackle the most important data challenges and opportunities. NVIDIA has brought together over a decade of AI experience and know-how, and integrated it into a full-stack, purpose-built data platform that both accelerates and consolidates data-center compute resources resulting in unrivaled operational efficiencies and data-center economics. 

NVIDIA DGX A100 features eight NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, providing users with unmatched acceleration, and is fully optimized for NVIDIA CUDA-X™ software and the end-to-end NVIDIA data center solution stack. 

NVIDIA A100 GPUs bring a new precision, TF32, which works just like FP32 while providing 20X higher FLOPS for AI vs. the previous generation, and best of all, no code changes are required to get this speedup. And when using NVIDIA’s automatic mixed precision, A100 offers an additional 2X boost to performance with just one additional line of code using FP16 precision. The A100 GPU also has a class-leading 1.6 terabytes per second (TB/s) of memory bandwidth, a greater than 70% increase over the last generation. Additionally, the A100 GPU has significantly more on-chip memory, including a 40MB Level 2 cache that is nearly 7X larger than the previous generation, maximizing compute performance. DGX A100 also debuts the next generation of NVIDIA NVLink™, which doubles the GPU-to-GPU direct bandwidth to 600 gigabytes per second (GB/s), almost 10X higher than PCIe Gen 4, and a new NVIDIA NVSwitch that is 2X faster than the last generation. This unprecedented power delivers the fastest time-to-solution for training, inference, and analytics workloads, allowing users to tackle challenges that weren't possible or practical before.
