Nvidia has unveiled a brand new DGX GH200 AI supercomputer, underpinned by its new Grace Hopper superchip and focused towards creating and supporting massive language fashions.
“DGX GH200 AI supercomputers combine Nvidia’s most superior accelerated computing and networking applied sciences to increase the frontier of AI,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated in a weblog put up.
The supercomputer, in line with Huang, combines the corporate’s GH200 Grace Hopper superchip and Nvidia’s NVLink and Swap System, to permit the event of huge language fashions for generative AI language purposes, recommender techniques, and information analytics workloads.
Nvidia’s DGX GH200 makes use of the NVLink interconnect expertise to mix 256 Grace Hopper superchips right into a single graphics processing unit (GPU) with the intention to extract “1 exaflop of efficiency and 144 terabytes of shared reminiscence — almost 500 instances extra reminiscence than the earlier era NVIDIA DGX A100, which was launched in 2020.”
The chipmaker will emulate the technique it took with its DGX Pods in making the brand new supercomputer out there.
Earlier in March, Huang stated the corporate struck a deal to make its DGX techniques out there via a number of cloud suppliers, slightly than putting in the mandatory {hardware} on-premises.
At present, Microsoft, Meta, and Google Cloud have entry to the brand new supercomputer, the corporate stated.
Nvidia additionally stated the brand new Grace Hopper superchip that fuels the DGX GH200 AI supercomputer is in full manufacturing mode and techniques with the superchip are anticipated to be out there later this 12 months.
The corporate additionally stated that it was utilizing the brand new Grace Hopper superchip to assist SoftBank design next-generation distributed information facilities that will likely be able to dealing with generative AI and 6G purposes.
These information facilities will likely be distributed throughout Japan, the businesses stated in a weblog put up.
Earlier in March, the corporate had launched new information processing items (DPUs) and GPUs, together with the BlueField 3 DPU.
