THE WORLD’S FIRST AI SYSTEM BUILT ON NVIDIA A100

NVIDIA DGX™ A100 is the universal system for all AI workloads, offering unprecedented compute density, performance, and flexibility in the world’s first 5 petaFLOPS AI system. 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 infrastructure that includes direct access to NVIDIA AI experts.

ESSENTIAL BUILDING BLOCK OF THE AI DATA CENTER

NVIDIA DGX A100 is the universal system for all AI infrastructure, from analytics to training to inference. It sets a new bar for compute density, packing 5 petaFLOPS of AI performance into a 6U form factor, replacing legacy infrastructure silos with one platform for every AI workload.

NVIDIA DGXperts are a global team of 16,000+ AI-fluent professionals who have built a wealth of experience over the last decade to help you maximize the value of your DGX investment.

NVIDIA DGX A100 is the world’s first AI system built on the NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU. Integrating eight A100 GPUs with up to 640GB of GPU memory, the system provides unprecedented acceleration and is fully optimized for NVIDIA CUDA-X™ software and the end-to-end NVIDIA data center solution stack.

NVIDIA DGX A100 features Mellanox ConnectX-6 VPI HDR InfiniBand/Ethernet network adapters with 500 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of peak bi-directional bandwidth. This is one of the many features that make DGX A100 the foundational building block for large AI clusters such as NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™, the enterprise blueprint for scalable AI infrastructure.


NVIDIA A100
Tensor Core GPU

The NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU delivers unprecedented acceleration for AI, data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) to tackle the world’s toughest computing challenges. With third-generation NVIDIA Tensor Cores providing a huge performance boost, the A100 GPU can efficiently scale up to the thousands or, with Multi-Instance GPU, be allocated as seven smaller, dedicated instances to accelerate workloads of all sizes.

Multi-Instance GPU (MIG)

With MIG, the eight A100 GPUs in DGX A100 can be configured into as many as 56 GPU instances, each fully isolated with their own high-bandwidth memory, cache, and compute cores. This allows administrators to right-size GPUs with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for multiple workloads.

Next-Generation NVLink
and NVSwitch

The third generation of NVIDIA® NVLink™ in DGX A100 doubles the GPU-to-GPU direct bandwidth to 600 gigabytes per second (GB/s), almost 10X higher than PCIe Gen4. DGX A100 also features next-generation NVIDIA NVSwitch™, which is 2X times faster than the previous generation.

Mellanox ConnectX-6 VPI
HDR InfiniBand

DGX A100 features the latest Mellanox ConnectX-6 VPI HDR InfiniBand/Ethernet adapters, each running at 200 gigabits per second (Gb/s) to create a high-speed fabric for large-scale AI workloads.

Optimized Software Stack

DGX A100 integrates a tested and optimized DGX software stack, including an AI-tuned base operating system, all necessary system software, and GPU-accelerated applications, pre-trained models, and more from NGC™.

Built-In Security

The third generation of NVIDIA® NVLink™ in DGX A100 doubles the GPU-to-GPU direct bandwidth to 600 gigabytes per second (GB/s), almost 10X higher than PCIe Gen4. DGX A100 also features next-generation NVIDIA NVSwitch™, which is 2X times faster than the previous generation.
