Nvidia has announced a revolutionary supercomputer, the DGX GH200, which delivers almost 500 times more memory and 1 exaflop of performance compared to current systems. This has attracted interest from leading tech companies Google, Meta, and Microsoft, who aim to revolutionize generative AI, recommender systems, and data processing on an unprecedented scale. This will likely bring improvements to language models like GPT, potentially changing the world for regular users.
One of the key features of Nvidia’s DGX GH200 is that it provides 144 terabytes of shared memory- nearly 500 times more memory than a single Nvidia DGX A100 system. To fully understand how impressive this is, one needs to use terms such as “exaflop,” which is equivalent to a quintillion floating-point operations per second (FLOPs). This is a stark contrast to the 100 teraflops (TFLOPs) achieved by Nvidia’s RTX 4090 when overclocked which equals to one trillion floating-point operations per second (TFLOP).
The computer is powered by Nvidia’s GH200 Grace Hopper superchips and doesn’t require a PCIe connection between the CPU and GPU. The chipsets can work together seamlessly using the NVLink interconnect technology, which allows them to integrate a significant number of high-performance GPUs that are unsuitable for consumer PCs with ARM-based Nvidia Grace CPUs and H100 Tensor Core GPUs. This technology has enabled an impressive leap from eight to 256 chips paving the way for Nvidia’s Helios Supercomputer. Nvidia expects the Helios Supercomputer to be online by the end of the year and will encompass four DGX GH200 systems interconnected with Nvidia’s Quantum-2 InfiniBand.
To share the development of the DGX GH200 with the world, Nvidia has partnered with leading tech companies to explore generative AI workloads. It’s believed that the computational power provided by a single DGX GH200 system is well-suited to advance the training of sophisticated language models. This means that we can expect more powerful AI models, leading to more detailed and accurate text and a wider range of data for training. This could improve cultural understanding, context, coherence, and enable specialized AI chatbots that could replace human labor in specific technology fields. However, this could lead to potential job displacement. Nonetheless, Nvidia’s DGX GH200 will undoubtedly shake things up in the world of AI, furthering Nvidia’s lead over AMD.
