NVIDIA HGX 8X H100 SXM5 Baseboard

Accelerating HGX With NVIDIA Networking

The data center is the new unit of computing, and networking plays an integral
role in scaling application performance across it. Paired with NVIDIA Quantum
InfiniBand, HGX delivers world-class performance and efficiency, which ensures the
full utilization of computing resources.
For AI cloud data centers that deploy Ethernet, HGX is best used with the NVIDIA
Spectrum-X networking platform, which powers the highest AI performance
over Ethernet. It features Spectrum-X switches and BlueField-3 DPUs for optimal
resource utilization and performance isolation, delivering consistent, predictable
outcomes for thousands of simultaneous AI jobs at every scale. Spectrum-X enables
advanced cloud multi-tenancy and zero-trust security. As a reference design, NVIDIA
has designed Israel-1, a hyperscale generative AI supercomputer built with Dell
PowerEdge XE9680 servers based on the NVIDIA HGX 8-GPU platform, BlueField-3
DPUs, and Spectrum-4 switches.

NVIDIA's professional-grade GPUs are crafted for high-performance rackmount servers and workstations, specifically engineered for demanding tasks across industries such as scientific computing, 3D visualization, deep learning, and remote work solutions. These GPUs offer extensive memory capacities and come with drivers optimized for tasks requiring sustained and efficient operation, including CAD, 3D rendering, data analytics, and AI workloads.
