And Nvidia Corp., which specializes in US computer and chip design, said it was partnering with a company Microsoft Building a “super” computer to handle AI-intensive cloud computing.
The AI computer will run on Microsoft’s Azure cloud, using tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs), Nvidia’s most powerful H100 and A100 chipsets. and that the H100 is much more expensive than that.
“We are at this critical point where AI is entering the enterprise and it becomes a real thing to have those services that customers can use to apply AI in business use cases,” said Ian Buck, general manager of Nvidia for Hyperscale and HPC. Reuters. The adoption of artificial intelligence… and the need to apply it to business use cases.”
In addition to selling chips to Microsoft, Nvidia said it will work with the software and cloud giant to develop AI models. Buck said Nvidia will also be a customer of Microsoft’s cloud AI and will develop AI applications to serve customers on top of it.
The rapid growth of AI models such as those used in natural language processing has greatly increased the demand for faster and more powerful computing infrastructures, and Nvidia said Azure will be the first public cloud to use Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking technology at 400Gbps.
This networking technology connects servers at high speed. This is important because AI-powered computing requires thousands of chips working together across multiple servers.
