NVIDIA Ampere Unleashed For Supercomputers And AI-Fueled Data Centers

NVIDIA is calling the newly announced DGX A100 "the world's most advanced system for all AI workloads" and claiming a single rack of five DGX A100 systems can replace an entire AI training and inference-focused data center, at 1/10th the cost, while using 1/20th the power and 1/25th the space. These are bold claims to be sure, but Ampere A100 appears to be a massive leap forward, with immense GPU resources relative to previous-gen offerings.
