Nvidia EOS Supercomputer: Fueling a Creative AI Revolution

NVIDIA’s EOS is ushering in the next generation of AI with a groundbreaking 18.4 AI exaflops supercomputer that represents the pinnacle of accelerated computing. As the world’s fastest AI supercomputer, EOS raises the bar for large-scale AI through its optimized architecture and software stack expertly tailored from chips to framework. Built upon 6,080 NVIDIA DGX A100 systems powered by over half a million CUDA cores each, EOS achieves over 18 exaflops of AI performance — over 60 times greater AI horsepower than NVIDIA’s previous top supercomputer. Beyond unprecedented AI speed, EOS also aims to maximize efficiency so researchers can push the boundaries of ambitious research. Its modular design enables flexible scaling from a handful of racks to thousands across multiple facilities. And with a specialized networking solution delivering over 400 Gbps of throughput between GPUs, EOS enables high-bandwidth communication vital for large model training.

Train transformer-based language models with trillions of parameters or protein structure prediction networks handling petabytes of BioBERT data - EOS is built to fuel the next AI renaissance by providing scientists a super-sized substrate optimized solely for AI. With liquid cooling for energy-efficient operation and 400 TB NVLink-connected GPU memory for massive tensor ops, EOS harnesses the full AI power of NVIDIA’s Ampere generation GPUs in a unified pool. Its dual-GPU nodes present over 1 TB of memory bandwidth per card and over 150 teraflops of processing power. With over 4.4 million GPU CUDA cores, EOS has the potential to train vastly more parameters than any individual lab ever has with their in-house resources alone. By aggregating compute at scale, EOS democratizes access to state-of-the-art AI research that was hitherto exclusive to commercial AI giants.

EOS’ elastic architecture scales linearly to fit today’s largest problems and future problems alike as models continue their meteoric growth. Its modular pod design supports flexible scaling from tens up to thousands of GPUs across data centers. This elasticity future-proofs systems against unpredictable future hardware and models. Leveraging over 4 times more memory bandwidth and over 6 times greater GPU FLOPS density than prior DGX platforms, EOS sets a powerful new standard for AI acceleration optimized exclusively for the demands of AI/ML applications. This architectural emphasis on throughput, along with extreme computational density, will significantly expand AI’s creative potential across every industry. Stay tuned for how the world’s brightest AI pioneers leverage EOS to push forward the boundaries in language models, computer vision, healthcare, and more. EOS represents NVIDIA’s continuous dedication to driving the next generation of AI for the benefit of all.
