Stacking Up AMD MI200 Versus Nvidia A100 Compute Engines
Dec 6, 2021 · The Nvidia Ampere GPU accelerators aimed at the datacenter for big compute jobs and based on the GA100 GPU were announced back in May 2020, and the top-end A100 devices was enhanced with a fatter 80 GB HBM2e memory in November 2020.Nvidia has added a bunch of other accelerators based on the Ampere architecture since that time, including the Ampere A40 and A6000 accelerators in October 2020 ...
Deep Dive Into Nvidia’s “Hopper” GPU Architecture - The Next …
Mar 31, 2022 · The shrink from 7 nanometer processes used in the Ampere GPU to the 4 nanometer processes used with the Hopper GPU allowed Nvidia to cram more compute units, cache, and I/O onto the die while at the same time raising the clock speed by 30 percent.
Nvidia Shows What Optically Linked GPU Systems Might Look Like
Aug 17, 2022 · There is no arguing with those curves, although you can bend them a bit with materials science wizardry. Nvidia signed a research and development partnership with Ayar Labs several weeks ago, and we sat down and had a chat with Charlie Wuischpard, chief executive officer at the silicon photonics startup, to talk about what the two would be working on.

FRR: The Most Popular Network Router You’ve Never Heard Of
Oct 26, 2020 · There are numerous production deployments using FRR as a software router, including using x86-based internet facing routers, BGP route reflectors, BGP route servers, and even normal endpoint-hosts running routing protocols – often called routing on the host and completely eliminating the need for VLANs, multi-chassis link aggregation (MLAG), or any Layer 2 in the datacenter.
A Look Inside the Groq Approach to AI Inference - The Next Platform
Oct 23, 2019 · And yes, to repeat, we are talking about inference specifically. Some of the early rumors about Groq were focused on its future role in the training market but Ross insists the team’s starting point was always there, especially after seeing large-scale model deployments at Google and what it would take to run those.
InfiniBand Innovation Is About More Than Bandwidth And Latency
Sep 30, 2021 · Sponsored Moving more bits across a copper wire or optical cable at a lower cost per bit shifted has been the dominant driver of datacenter networking since distributed systems were first developed more than three decades ago.. For most of that time, InfiniBand networking has also been concerned with driving down latency well below what Ethernet or other protocols could deliver — through the ...
