9.7 TFLOPS¹
1,247 AI TOPS²
1.5 TB/s
1 Peak rates based on GPU Boost Clock. 2 Theoretical INT8 TOPS using sparsity.
Performance and versatility for a wide range of AI and HPC applications with support for double-precision (FP64) and Tensor Float 32 (TF32) precision provides up to 2X the performance and efficiency over the previous generation, enabling rapid model training and inferencing directly on RTX-powered AI workstations. Hardware support for structural sparsity doubles the throughput for inferencing.
Fully isolated and secure multi-tenancy at the hardware level with dedicated high-bandwidth memory, cache, and compute cores. Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) maximizes the utilization of GPU-accelerated infrastructure, allowing an A800 40GB Active GPU to be partitioned into as many as seven independent instances, giving multiple users access to GPU acceleration.
Increased GPU-to-GPU interconnect bandwidth provides a single scalable memory to accelerate compute workloads and tackle larger datasets. Connect a pair of NVIDIA A800 40GB Active GPUs with NVIDIA NVLink® to increase the effective memory footprint to 80GB and scale application performance by enabling GPU-to-GPU data transfers at rates up to 400 GB/s (bidirectional).
Deliver massive computational throughput with 40GB of high-speed HBM2 memory with a class-leading 1.5 TB/s of memory bandwidth—an over 70% increase compared to previous generation—and significantly more on-chip memory, including a 40MB level 2 cache to accelerate the most computationally intense AI and HPC workloads.
Using neural networks to identify patterns and structures within existing data, generative AI applications enable users to generate new and original content from a wide variety of inputs and outputs, including images, sounds, animation, and 3D models. Leverage NVIDIA’s generative AI solution—NeMo™ Framework, included in NVIDIA AI Enterprise—along with the A800 40GB Active GPU for easy, fast, and customizable generative AI model development.
The A800 40GB Active GPU delivers remarkable performance for GPU-accelerated computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications. Engineering Analysts and CAE Specialists can run large-scale simulations and engineering analysis codes in full FP64 precision with incredible speed, shortening development timelines and accelerating time to value.
With the addition of RTX-accelerated GPUs, providing display capabilities for pre- and post-processing, designers and engineers can visualize large-scale simulations and models in full-design fidelity.
Accelerate end-to-end data science and analytics workflows with powerful performance to extract meaningful insights from large-scale datasets quickly. By combining the high-performance computing capabilities of the A800 40GB Active with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, data practitioners can leverage a large collection of libraries, tools, and technologies to accelerate data science workflows—from data prep and analysis to modeling.
Offload data center and cloud-based computing resources and bring supercomputing performance to the desktop for local AI training and inference workloads. Powerful workstations with four A800 40GB Active GPUs provide over 2.5 petaflops of AI computing performance and 160GB of combined HBM2 memory.
Each NVIDIA A800 40GB Active GPU comes with a three-year subscription to NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end enterprise software platform for rapid development and deployment of production-ready generative AI, computer vision, speech AI, and more. Software activation is required.
NVIDIA AI Enterprise includes data science libraries and tools to speed time to insights. Organizations can use NVIDIA RAPIDS™ for up to 50X faster end-to-end data science pipelines.
NVIDIA AI Enterprise accelerates every stage of the AI journey, from data prep and model training through inference and deployment at scale:
