Nvidia SaturnV sets mark for AI supercomputing

Nvidia's new DGX SaturnV is the world's most efficient AI supercomputer, according to the company's vice-president of solutions architecture and engineering, Marc Hamilton.

Assembled from 124 DGX-1 nodes, each with eight Tesla P100 GPUs, SaturnV is rated at 4.9 FP64 petaflops, making it the 28th fastest supercomputer on the latest Top500 list.

"Several thousand x86 servers" would be needed to deliver equivalent performance, he said.

SaturnV is energy efficient as well as powerful, and is the number one system on the new Green500, according to Hamilton.
At 9.5 gigaflops per watt, it is more than twice as efficient as similar Xeon Phi based systems.

SaturnV is being used internally by Nvidia, and will also be made available to the US government's Cancer Moonshot which is attempting to double the rate of advancement in the field.
