Why Choose HGX NVIDIA H100 GPU?
The NVIDIA HGX H100 GPU is a powerful and versatile computing platform that can accelerate a wide range of workloads, from small enterprise applications to exascale HPC simulations to trillion-parameter AI models. It is a go-to choice for a variety of reasons, including its:
1. Transformer Engine
The H100 GPU features a Transformer Engine with FP8 precision, providing up to 4X faster training for large language models, such as GPT-3 175B.
2. NVLink Switch System:
The NVLink Switch System allows quick scaling of multi-GPU input/output (IO) across different servers, reaching speeds of up to 900 gigabytes per second. It can support clusters of up to 256 H100 GPUs, providing 9 times the bandwidth of InfiniBand HDR.This makes it possible to create incredibly powerful AI and HPC clusters that can accelerate a wide range of workloads.
3. Confidential Computing and DPX Instructions:
HGX H100 offers confidential computing capabilities and incorporates DPX instructions, which accelerate dynamic programming algorithms by 7X. This combination ensures data security and real-time processing for applications like DNA sequence alignment and protein structure prediction.
4. Multi-Instance GPU (MIG)
The availability of MIG allows multiple users or workloads to run concurrently on a single GPU, enhancing resource sharing and isolation, which is particularly valuable in multi-tenant cloud environments.
5. NVIDIA NGC container registry
The HGX H100 comes with access to the NVIDIA NGC container registry, which provides a wide range of pre-optimized and certified AI and HPC containers. This makes it easy to deploy and run AI and HPC workloads on the HGX H100.
6. Superior Computational Power
The HGX H100 GPU delivers substantially higher computational power and processing speed compared to its predecessor, the HGX A100. With enhanced architecture, it provides exceptional performance improvements for demanding AI workloads and complex computational tasks.
