1. Nvidia has announced the launch of its new Hopper GPU architecture, which is designed to power the next generation of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The Hopper architecture features several key advancements, including support for the new H100 GPU, which offers up to 80 billion transistors and delivers up to 30 times the performance of the previous-generation A100 GPU.
2. The Hopper architecture introduces a new technology called Transformer Engine, which is optimized for running large language models and other AI models that rely on the Transformer neural network architecture. The Transformer Engine is said to deliver up to 30 times the performance of previous-generation Nvidia GPUs for these types of workloads.
3. Nvidia also announced the launch of its new DGX H100 system, which is designed to provide a complete, integrated AI computing platform for enterprises and research organizations. The DGX H100 system is powered by up to eight Hopper H100 GPUs and is capable of delivering up to 32 petaflops of AI performance, making it one of the most powerful AI systems available on the market.
