NVIDIA GTC 2020 Keynote Part 6: NVIDIA A100 Data Center GPU Based on NVIDIA Ampere Architecture

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang introduces the NVIDIA A100 data center GPU, which dramatically increases throughput of scale-out and scale-up applications whether for data analytics, training or inference. The A100 delivers 1.5 terabytes per second of bandwidth thanks to its third-generation Tensor Cores, multi-instance GPU technology, sparsity acceleration, and third-generation NVLink and NVSwitch interconnect technology. It's based on new NVIDIA Ampere architecture, offering the greatest generational leap in performance in the company's history.

The A100 is offered in the DGX A100, an integrated AI system with 5 petaflops of performance on a single node that comes with fully accelerated software stacks. It's also available in HGX A100 hyperscale data center accelerators from the world's leading systems makers.
