AMD EPYC™ Processors Ecosystem Continues to Grow with Integration into New NVIDIA DGX A100
June 08 2020 - 9:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the NVIDIA DGX™ A100, the third
generation of the world’s most advanced AI system, is the latest
high-performance computing system featuring 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™
processors. Delivering 5 petaflops of AI performance, the elastic
architecture of the NVIDIA DGX A100 enables enterprises to
accelerate diverse AI workloads such as data analytics, training,
and inference.
NVIDIA DGX A100 leverages the high-performance capabilities, 128
cores, DDR4-3200MHz and PCIe® 4 support from two AMD EPYC 7742
processors running at speeds up to 3.4 GHz¹. The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC
processor is the first and only current x86-architecture server
processor that supports PCIe® 4, providing leadership
high-bandwidth I/O that’s critical for high performance computing
and connections between the CPU and other devices like GPUs.
“Only 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors can provide up to 64 cores and
128 lanes of PCIe 4 interconnectivity in a single x86 data center
processor, and we’re excited to see how the power of the NVIDIA DGX
A100 system enables the I/O bandwidth to be effectively doubled,”
said Raghu Nambiar, corporate vice president, data center
ecosystems and application engineering, AMD. “With 2nd Gen AMD EPYC
processors, our partners and customers can maximize performance and
cost efficiencies in heterogeneous computing, virtualized and hyper
converged infrastructure workloads, providing teams with the
flexibility and capability to stay at the forefront of
innovation.”
“The NVIDIA DGX A100 delivers a tremendous leap in performance
and capabilities,” said Charlie Boyle, vice president and general
manager, DGX systems at NVIDIA. “The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors
used in DGX A100 provide high performance and support for PCIe
Gen4. NVIDIA has put those features to work to create the world’s
most powerful AI system while maintaining compatibility with the
GPU-optimized software stack used across the entire DGX
family.”
