Data centers are being re-architected for efficient delivery of AI workloads. This is a hugely complicated endeavor, and NVIDIA is now delivering AI factories based on the NVIDIA rack-scale architecture. To deliver the best performance for the AI factory, many accelerators need to work together at rack-scale with maximal bandwidth and minimal latency to support the largest number of users in the…
]]>Many of the most exciting applications of large language models (LLMs), such as interactive speech bots, coding co-pilots, and search, need to begin responding to user queries quickly to deliver positive user experiences. The time that it takes for an LLM to ingest a user prompt (and context, which can be sizable) and begin outputting a response is called time to first token (TTFT).
]]>Large language models (LLM) are getting larger, increasing the amount of compute required to process inference requests. To meet real-time latency requirements for serving today’s LLMs and do so for as many users as possible, multi-GPU compute is a must. Low latency improves the user experience. High throughput reduces the cost of service. Both are simultaneously important. Even if a large…

]]>Large language models (LLMs) offer incredible new capabilities, expanding the frontier of what is possible with AI. However, their large size and unique execution characteristics can make them difficult to use in cost-effective ways. NVIDIA has been working closely with leading companies, including Meta, Anyscale, Cohere, Deci, Grammarly, Mistral AI, MosaicML (now a part of Databricks)…
]]>Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) is an important feature of NVIDIA H100, A100, and A30 Tensor Core GPUs, as it can partition a GPU into multiple instances. Each instance has its own compute cores, high-bandwidth memory, L2 cache, DRAM bandwidth, and media engines such as decoders. This enables multiple workloads or multiple users to run workloads simultaneously on one GPU to maximize the GPU…
