NVIDIA A800 40GB ACTIVE | High-Performance Data Science and AI Platform

Rapid growth in workload complexity, data size, and the proliferation of emerging workloads like generative AI are ushering in a new era of computing, accelerating scientific discovery, improving productivity, and revolutionizing content creation. As models continue to explode in size and complexity to take on next-level challenges, an increasing number of workloads will need to run on local devices. Next-generation workstation platforms will need to deliver high-performance computing capabilities to support these complex workloads.

The NVIDIA A800 40GB Active GPU accelerates data science, AI, and HPC workflows with 432 third-generation Tensor Cores to maximize AI performance and ultra-fast and efficient inference capabilities. With third-generation NVIDIA NVLink technology, A800 40GB Active offers scalable performance for heavy AI workloads, doubling the effective memory footprint and enabling GPU-to-GPU data transfers up to 400 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of bidirectional bandwidth. This board is an AI-ready development platform with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, and delivers workstations ideally suited to the needs of skilled AI developers and data scientists.

SUPERCHARGE AI DEVELOPMENT OUT OF THE BOX WITH NVIDIA AI ENTERPRISE

Each NVIDIA A800 40GB Active GPU comes with a three-year subscription to NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end software platform with enterprise security, stability, manageability, and support.

PERFORMANCE AND USEABILITY FEATURES | NVIDIA Ampere Architecture

NVIDIA A800 40GB Active is one of the world's most powerful data center GPUs for AI, data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Building upon the major SM enhancements from the Turing GPU, the NVIDIA Ampere architecture enhances tensor matrix operations and concurrent executions of FP32 and INT32 operations.

More Efficient CUDA Cores

The NVIDIA Ampere architecture's CUDA cores bring up to 2.5x the single-precision floating point (FP32) throughput compared to the previous generation, providing significant performance improvements for any class or algorithm, or application that can benefit from embarrassingly parallel acceleration techniques.

Third-Generation Tensor Cores

Purpose-built for deep learning matrix arithmetic at the heart of neural network training and inferencing functions, the NVIDIA A800 40GB Active includes enhanced Tensor Cores that accelerate more datatypes (TF32 and BF16) and includes a new Fine-Grained Structured Sparsity feature that delivers up to 2x throughput for tensor matrix operations compared to the previous generation.

PCIe Gen 4

The NVIDIA A800 40GB Active supports PCI Express Gen 4, which provides double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3, improving data-transfer speeds from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks like AI and data science.
