Features
The ThinkSystem NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB PCIe Active GPU offers the following features
- NVIDIA Ampere Architecture
- NVIDIA® RTX™ technology revolutionized professional visual computing forever. The NVIDIA Ampere architecture builds on the power of RTX to significantly enhance the performance of rendering, graphics, AI, and compute workloads. Engineered to perfection and featuring cutting-edge innovations, the NVIDIA Ampere architecture takes RTX to new heights for professional workloads.
- Third-Generation Tensor Cores
- New Tensor Float 32 (TF32) precision provides up to 5X the training throughput over the previous generation to accelerate AI and data science model training without requiring any code changes. Hardware support for structural sparsity doubles the throughput for inferencing. Tensor Cores also bring AI to graphics with capabilities like DLSS, AI denoising, and enhanced editing for select applications.
- Second-Generation RT Cores
- With up to 2X the throughput over the previous generation and the ability to concurrently run ray tracing with either shading or denoising capabilities, second-generation RT Cores deliver massive speedups for workloads like photo-realistic rendering of movie content and virtual prototyping of product designs. This technology also speeds up the rendering of ray-traced motion blur for faster results with greater visual accuracy.
- Third-Generation NVLink
- Third-generation NVIDIA NVLink® technology enables users to connect two GPUs together to share GPU performance and memory. With up to 112 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of bidirectional bandwidth and combined graphics memory of up to 96 GB, professionals can tackle the largest rendering, AI, virtual reality, and visual computing workloads. The new NVLink connector also features a shorter Z height, which enables NVLink functionality in a wider range of chassis.
- NVIDIA Ampere Architecture-based CUDA Cores
- The NVIDIA Ampere architecture’s CUDA® cores bring double-speed processing for single-precision floating point (FP32) operations and are up to 2X more power efficient than Turing GPUs. This provides significant performance gains for graphics workflows like 3D model development and compute workflows like desktop simulation for computer-aided engineering (CAE).
- PCI Express Gen 4.0
- NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based GPUs support PCIe Gen 4.0, which provides 2X the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3.0. This improves data transfer speeds from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks such as AI and data science. Faster PCIe performance also accelerates GPU direct memory access DMA) transfers, enabling faster video data transfers from GPUDirect® for video-enabled devices and faster input/output I/O) with GPUDirect Storage.
