More Options for AI Developers: New On-Demand 1x, 2x and 4x NVIDIA H100 SXM Tensor Core GPU Instances in Lambda’s Cloud
Opening up options: higher-end GPUs in smaller chunks
We're excited to announce the launch of new 1x, 2x, and 4x NVIDIA H100 SXM Tensor Core GPU instances in our Public Cloud. These instances bring new options for AI Developers seeking to leverage the performance of SXM GPUs, and provision the right-sized GPU acceleration for their workloads.
49% to 51% performance gains
The new 1x, 2x and 4x instances are based on NVIDIA H100 SXM Tensor Core GPUs, which offer 67.5% faster memory bandwidth and up to 2 times higher power draw over the PCIe version.
Feature | NVIDIA H100 PCIe Tensor Core GPU | NVIDIA H100 SXM Tensor Core GPU |
---|---|---|
Form Factor | PCIe Gen 5 | SXM5 |
Memory Bandwidth | 2 TB/s | 3.35 TB/s |
L2 Cache | 50 MB | 50 MB |
Transistors | 80 billion | 80 billion |
GPU Memory | 80 GB | 80 GB |
Memory interface | 5120-bit HBM2e | 5120-bit HBM3 |
Interconnect | NVLink: 600 GB/s PCIe Gen5 128 GB/s |
NVLink: 900 GB/s PCIe Gen5 128 GB/s |
Maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) | 300-350W | Up to 700W |
Looking at a geomean of results from pytorch-train-throughput-fp16 and pytorch-train-throughput-TF32, we observe a 49% to 51% performance premium for the NVIDIA H100 SXM Tensor Core GPU, over the PCIe version.
Geomean is calculated on ssd, bert_base_squad, bert_large_squad, gnmt, resnet50, tacotron2 and waveglow scores. You can view individual benchmarks at https://lambdalabs.com/gpu-benchmarks.
Note that Ethernet is used for the 2x and 4x instances. If you are looking for NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, then 1-Click Clusters are the way to go.
