A100 Tensor Cores also include support for BFLOAT16, INT8, and INT4 precision, making A100 an incredibly versatile accelerator for both AI training and inference.ĭouble-Precision Tensor Cores: The Biggest Milestone Since FP64 for HPC
#Fp16 vs fp64 code
And NVIDIA’s automatic mixed precision feature enables a further 2x boost to performance with just one additional line of code using FP16 precision. A100 brings a new precision, TF32, which works just like FP32 while providing 20x higher FLOPS for AI without requiring any code change. Lower precision math has brought huge performance speedups, but they’ve historically required some code changes. As AI networks and datasets continue to expand exponentially, their computing appetite is similarly growing.TF32 for AI: 20x Higher Performance, Zero Code Change It does so by improving the performance of existing precisions and bringing new precisions-TF32, INT8, and FP64-that accelerate and simplify AI adoption and extend the power of NVIDIA Tensor Cores to HPC. The NVIDIA Ampere architecture builds upon these innovations by providing up to 20x higher FLOPS for AI. First introduced in the NVIDIA Volta architecture, NVIDIA Tensor Core technology has brought dramatic speedups to AI training and inference operations, bringing down training times from weeks to hours and providing massive acceleration to inference.Whether using MIG to partition an A100 GPU into smaller instances, or NVLink to connect multiple GPUs to accelerate large-scale workloads, the A100 easily handles different-sized application needs, from the smallest job to the biggest multi-node workload.
A100 accelerates workloads big and small.
Representing the most powerful end-to-end AI and HPC platform for data centers, it allows researchers to deliver real-world results and deploy solutions into production at scale, while allowing IT to optimize the utilization of every available A100 GPU. A100 can efficiently scale up or be partitioned into seven isolated GPU instances, with Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) providing a unified platform that enables elastic data centers to dynamically adjust to shifting workload demands.Ī100 is part of the complete NVIDIA data center solution that incorporates building blocks across hardware, networking, software, libraries, and optimized AI models and applications from NGC. As the engine of the NVIDIA data center platform, A100 provides up to 20x higher performance over the prior NVIDIA Volta generation. The NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU delivers unprecedented acceleration-at every scale-to power the world’s highest performing elastic data centers for AI, data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
