GTC — NVIDIA today
unveiled the world’s first cloud-native, multi-tenant AI
supercomputer — the next-generation NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™ featuring
NVIDIA BlueField®-2 DPUs.
Fortifying the DGX SuperPOD with BlueField-2 DPUs — data
processing units that offload, accelerate and isolate users’ data —
provides customers with secure connections to their AI
infrastructure.
The company also announced NVIDIA Base Command™, which enables
multiple users and IT teams to securely access, share and operate
their DGX SuperPOD infrastructure. Base Command coordinates AI
training and operations on DGX SuperPOD infrastructure to enable
the work of teams of data scientists and developers located around
the globe.
“AI is the most powerful technology the world has ever known,
and NVIDIA DGX systems are the most effective tool for harnessing
it,” said Charlie Boyle, vice president and general manager of DGX
systems at NVIDIA. “The new DGX SuperPOD, which combines multiple
DGX systems, provides a turnkey AI data center that can be securely
shared across entire teams of researchers and developers.”
Advancing AI with DGX SuperPODDGX SuperPODs are
AI supercomputers featuring 20 or more NVIDIA DGX A100™ systems and
NVIDIA InfiniBand HDR networking. Among the latest to deploy DGX
SuperPODs to power new AI solutions and services are:
- Sony Group
Corporation is using DGX SuperPOD to enable its corporate
research and development team to infuse AI across the company.
- NAVER, a leading internet technology company
in Korea and Japan, is training giant AI language models at scale
on DGX SuperPOD to pioneer new services across e-commerce, search,
entertainment and payment applications.
- Recursion, a digital-biology company working
to industrialize drug discovery, is using DGX SuperPOD to
accelerate its deep learning models and empower its growing
workforce of machine learning experts.
- MTS, Russia’s largest telecommunications
company, is using its DGX SuperPOD as the foundation for its
AI-ready development infrastructure and new public cloud service
offerings, as well as to integrate AI and data science across its
departments.
- VinAI is using
its DGX SuperPOD, which will rank as Vietnam’s fastest AI
supercomputer, to accelerate AI initiatives, including autonomous
vehicles, healthcare and consumer services, in Southeast Asia and
around the world.
Additionally, NVIDIA and Schrödinger today separately announced
a strategic partnership designed to harness DGX SuperPODs to
further accelerate drug discovery at supercomputing scale. Their
jointly developed solution can enable pharmaceutical and biotech
companies of all sizes to simulate molecular combinations with
physics and AI to identify and optimize the most promising
compounds for potential therapeutic use.
Secure, Cloud-Native AI at ScaleNVIDIA designed
the new DGX SuperPOD to meet customers’ growing security and
scalability requirements as AI broadens in adoption. Increasingly,
enterprise IT departments need to support the work of multiple
teams at different locations, while academic and research
institutions often grant outside organizations access to their
computing resources.
BlueField-2 DPUs offload, accelerate and isolate users and their
data, allowing organizations to safely provide private cloud access
to their DGX SuperPOD infrastructure with security that spans user
traffic, firewalls and multi-tenant access to storage. DDN is the
first NVIDIA storage partner certified to support the next-gen DGX
SuperPOD with BlueField-2.
NVIDIA Base Command allows teams of AI developers and data
scientists to seamlessly provision and schedule workloads on DGX
infrastructure from prototyping to production.
To support the iterative process of building and refining AI
models, Base Command provides built-in telemetry for users to
validate deep learning techniques, workload settings and resource
allocations to constantly improve results.
New DGX Station A100 Subscription Makes AI More
AccessibleNVIDIA also introduced a subscription offering
available for the NVIDIA DGX Station A100, the world’s only
workgroup appliance in an office form factor that supports NVIDIA
Multi-Instance GPU technology.
The new subscription program makes it easier for companies at
every stage of growth to accelerate AI development outside the data
center for teams working in corporate offices, research facilities,
labs and home offices.
With four NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs, DGX Station A100 delivers a 3x
speed-up compared to its predecessor for complex AI workloads such
as natural language processing. As many as 28 data scientists can
share a DGX Station A100 simultaneously, enabling enterprises to
accelerate AI development while saving up to $700,000 compared to
data center servers.
AvailabilityCloud-native, multi-tenant NVIDIA
DGX SuperPODs will be available in Q2 through NVIDIA’s global
partners, which can provide pricing to qualified customers upon
request.
NVIDIA Base Command will also be available starting in Q2.
Subscriptions for NVIDIA DGX Station A100 are available starting
at a list price of $9,000 per month.
