Ampere is the codename for a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture developed by Nvidia as the successor to both the Volta and Turing architectures.
It was officially announced on May 14, 2020, and is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampère.
[9] The A100 features 19.5 teraflops of FP32 performance, 6912 FP32/INT32 CUDA cores, 3456 FP64 CUDA cores, 40 GB of graphics memory, and 1.6 TB/s of graphics memory bandwidth.
[22] The A100 accelerator was initially available only in the 3rd generation of DGX server, including 8 A100s.
[9] Also included in the DGX A100 is 15 TB of PCIe gen 4 NVMe storage,[22] two 64-core AMD Rome 7742 CPUs, 1 TB of RAM, and Mellanox-powered HDR InfiniBand interconnect.
