Description
Nvidia’s recently announced Ampere GPU for datacenters (A100) comes to the market at a time of increased market competition for HPC and AI silicon. However, rather than offering specialized datacenter products aimed at these two application categories, the new Ampere offering carries forward the dual HPC/AI approach previously introduced in Nvidia’s Volta architecture. To realize this, the company has introduced a number of innovations that significantly boost performance in each area.
