NVIDIA DGX Station A100 Offers Researchers AI Data-Center-in-a-Box
November 16 2020 - 9:00AM
SC20—NVIDIA today announced the NVIDIA DGX
Station™ A100 — the world’s only petascale workgroup server. The
second generation of the groundbreaking AI system, DGX Station A100
accelerates demanding machine learning and data science workloads
for teams working in corporate offices, research facilities, labs
or home offices everywhere.
Delivering 2.5 petaflops of AI performance, DGX Station A100 is
the only workgroup server with four of the latest NVIDIA® A100
Tensor Core GPUs fully interconnected with NVIDIA NVLink®,
providing up to 320GB of GPU memory to speed breakthroughs in
enterprise data science and AI.
DGX Station A100 is also the only workgroup server that supports
NVIDIA’s multi-instance GPU (MIG) technology. With MIG, a single
DGX Station A100 provides up to 28 separate GPU instances to run
parallel jobs and support multiple users without impacting system
performance.
“DGX Station A100 brings AI out of the data center with a
server-class system that can plug in anywhere,” said Charlie Boyle,
vice president and general manager of DGX systems at NVIDIA. “Teams
of data science and AI researchers can accelerate their work using
the same software stack as NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, enabling them
to easily scale from development to deployment.”
DGX Station Powers AI InnovationOrganizations
around the world have adopted DGX Station to power AI and data
science across industries such as education, financial services,
government, healthcare and retail. These AI leaders include:
- BMW Group Production is using NVIDIA DGX
Station to explore insights faster as they develop and deploy AI
models that improve operations.
- DFKI, the German Research Center for
Artificial Intelligence, is using DGX Station to build models that
tackle critical challenges for society and industry, including
computer vision systems that help emergency services respond
rapidly to natural disasters.
- Lockheed Martin is using DGX Station to
develop AI models that use sensor data and service logs to predict
the need for maintenance to improve manufacturing uptime, increase
safety for workers, and reduce operational costs.
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is using
NVIDIA DGX Station to conduct federally funded research in support
of national security. Focused on technological innovation in energy
resiliency and national security, PNNL is a leading U.S. HPC center
for scientific discovery, energy resilience, chemistry, Earth
science and data analytics.
- NTT Docomo, Japan's leading mobile operator
with over 79 million subscribers, uses DGX Station to develop
innovative AI-driven services such as its image recognition
solution.
An AI Supercomputer AnywhereWhile DGX Station
A100 does not require data-center-grade power or cooling, it is a
server-class system that features the same remote management
capabilities as NVIDIA DGX A100 data center systems. System
administrators can easily perform any management tasks over a
remote connection when data scientists and researchers are working
at home or in labs.
DGX Station A100 is available with four 80GB or 40GB NVIDIA A100
Tensor Core GPUs, providing options for data science and AI
research teams to select a system according to their unique
workloads and budgets.
To power complex conversational AI models like BERT Large
inference, DGX Station A100 is more than 4x faster than the
previous generation DGX Station. It delivers nearly a 3x
performance boost for BERT Large AI training.
Doubling Down on GPU Memory for AI, HPCFor
advanced data center workloads, DGX A100 systems will be available
with the new NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs, doubling GPU memory capacity to
640GB per system to enable AI teams to boost accuracy with larger
datasets and models.
The new NVIDIA DGX A100 640GB systems can also be integrated
into the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™ Solution for Enterprise, allowing
organizations to build, train and deploy massive AI models on
turnkey AI supercomputers available in units of 20 DGX A100
systems.
The first installments of NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD systems with DGX
A100 640GB will include the Cambridge-1 supercomputer being
installed in the U.K. to supercharge healthcare research, as well
as the new University of Florida HiPerGator AI supercomputer that
will power AI-infused discovery across the Sunshine State.
AvailabilityNVIDIA DGX Station A100 and NVIDIA
DGX A100 640GB systems will be available this quarter through
NVIDIA Partner Network resellers worldwide. An upgrade option is
available for NVIDIA DGX A100 320GB customers.
