Pre-Order NVIDIA’s DGX Spark Today

Image credit: NVIDIA During the NVIDIA GTC conference in San Jose, CA, the GPU giant announced two small supercomputers: the DGX Spark and DGX Station. Both supercomputers use the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform and are targeted to developers, researchers, data scientists, and students training, running inference, and deploying large language models. “AI has transformed every layer of the computing stack. It stands to reason a new class of computers would emerge — designed for AI-native developers and to run AI-native applications,” said NVIDIA CEO and cofounder Jensen Huang in a press release. “With these new DGX personal AI computers, AI can span from cloud services to desktop and edge applications.” More must-read AI coverage DGX Spark has 784 GB of memory in a small package NVIDIA claimed the DGX Spark, previously known as Project Digits, is the world’s smallest supercomputer. The GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip inside includes a Blackwell GPU that can perform 1,000 trillion operations per second of AI computing. NVIDIA NVLink-C2C interconnect technology hooks a CPU and the GPU together at five times …

NVIDIA Unveils AI & Supercomputing Advances at SC 2024

NVIDIA revealed various infrastructure, hardware, and resources for scientific research and enterprise at the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, held Nov. 17 to Nov. 22 in Atlanta. Key among these announcements was the upcoming general availability of the H200 NVL AI accelerator. The newest Hopper chip is coming in December NVIDIA announced at a media briefing on Nov. 14 that platforms built with the H200 NVL PCIe GPU will be available in December 2024. Enterprise customers can refer to an Enterprise Reference Architecture for the H200 NVL. Purchasing the new GPU at an enterprise scale will come with a five-year subscription for the NVIDIA AI Enterprise service. Dion Harris, NVIDIA’s director of accelerated computing, said at the briefing that the H200 NVL is ideal for data centers with lower power — under 20kW — and air-cooled accelerator rack designs. The H200 NVL is targeted toward low-power HPC and AI workloads. Image: NVIDIA “Companies can fine-tune LLMs within a few hours” with the upcoming GPU, Harris said. H200 NVL shows a …
