NVIDIA is leveraging the 128-lane PCI-Express gen 4.zero root advanced of AMD 2nd era EPYC “Rome” enterprise processors in constructing its DGX-A100 tremendous scalar compute techniques that leverage the brand new A100 “Ampere” compute processors. Each DGX-A100 block is endowed with two AMD EPYC 7742 64-core/128-thread processors in a 2P setup totaling 128-cores/256-threads, clocked as much as 3.40 GHz increase.
This 2P EPYC “Rome” processor setup is configured to feed PCIe gen 4.zero connectivity to eight NVIDIA A100 GPUs, and 8-port Mellanox ConnectX 200 Gbps InfiniBand NIC. Six NVSwitches present NVLink connectivity complementing PCI-Express gen 4.zero from the AMD sIODs. The storage and reminiscence subsystem is equally jaw-dropping: 1 TB of hexadeca-channel (16-channel) DDR4 reminiscence, two 1.92 TB NVMe gen 4.zero SSDs, and 15 TB of U.2 NVMe drives (4x 3.84 TB items). The GPU reminiscence of the eight A100 items add as much as 320 GB (that is 8x 40 GB, 6144-bit HBM2E). When you energy it up, you are greeted with the Ubuntu Linux splash display screen. All this may be yours for USD $199,000.
