NVIDIA has announced a powerful new Arm-based CPU called Grace, which is expected to deliver “10x the performance of today’s fastest servers on the most complex AI and high performance computing workloads,” according to the press release.
“Using licensed Arm IP, NVIDIA has designed Grace as a CPU specifically for giant-scale AI and HPC,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
The NVIDIA Grace CPU, named after computing pioneer Grace Hopper, is “designed to enable scientists and researchers to train the world’s largest models to solve the most complex problems,” according to NVIDIA. The processor, which is expected to be available in early 2023, is designed to “deliver up to 30X higher aggregate bandwidth compared to today's fastest servers and up to 10X higher performance for applications running terabytes of data,” the website states.
The U.S. Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) have already announced plans to build Grace-powered supercomputers.
