    Why GPUs?

    Unlike traditional CPUs, which focus on general-purpose software applications, NVIDIA GPUs are designed specifically to provide the highest compute performance possible. For many applications, a GPU-accelerated system will be 5X to 25X times faster than a CPU-only system.

    The NVIDIA A100 GPUs are the latest and fastest accelerators. Based on the “Volta” architecture, they feature:

    Improved compute performance per GPU

    Up to 9.7 TFLOPS double- and 19.5 TFLOPS single-precision floating-point performance

    Faster GPU memory

    High-bandwidth HBM2 memory provides a 3X improvement over older GPUs

    Faster connectivity

    NVLink provides 5X~10X faster transfers than PCI-Express

    Try today on advanced, fully integrated hardware

    Whether you use community-built code or have in-house GPU-accelerated applications, we are offering remote benchmarking time on our latest hardware. This includes NVIDIA A100 and Tesla V100S GPUs with over 5X the performance of previous GPUs.
