The project is meant for giant-scale artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications.
Nvidia introduced its Grace processor, an ARM-based central processing unit (CPU) for giant-scale artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications. The project is Nvidia’s first datacenter CPU meant for giant-scale applications, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed during a keynote speech at Nvidia’s GTC 2021 event.
Grace promises 10 times the performance for systems training AI models, using energy-efficient ARM cores. The Swiss Supercomputing Center and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory will be the first to use Grace, named after Grace Hopper. The CPU will be available in early 2023.
"Grace is a breakthrough CPU. It’s purpose-built for accelerated computing applications of giant scale for AI and HPC," said Paresh Kharya, senior director of product management and marketing at Nvidia.
The company states that the CPU is the result of more than 10,000 engineering years of work addressing the computing requirements for the world’s most advanced applications. The new tech can be used for natural language processing, recommender systems, AI supercomputing, and more, to deal with an enormous amount of data.
