Product Guide

The NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU supercharges generative AI and high- performance computing (HPC) workloads with game-changing performance and memory capabilities. H200 is the newest addition to NVIDIA’s leading AI and high-performance data center GPU portfolio, bringing massive compute to data centers.
The NVIDIA H200 141GB 700W GPU is offered in the ThinkSystem SR680a V3 server, with eight SXM5 form factor GPU modules and NVIDIA® NVLink® Fabric to create an 8-FC (fully connected) NVLink topology per baseboard. Leveraging the power of H200 multi-precision Tensor Cores, an eight-way HGX H200 provides over 32 petaFLOPS of FP8 deep learning compute and over 1.1TB of aggregate HBM memory for the highest performance in generative AI and HPC applications.

Did you know?
To maximize compute performance, H200 is the world’s first GPU with HBM3e memory with 4.8TB/s of memory bandwidth, a 1.4X increase over H100. H200 also expands GPU memory capacity nearly doubled to 141GB. The combination of faster and larger HBM memory accelerates performance of computationally intensive generative AI and HPC applications, while meeting the evolving demands of growing model sizes.

Features
The NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU supercharges generative AI and HPC with game- changing performance and memory capabilities. As the first GPU with HBM3e, H200’s faster, larger memory fuels the acceleration of generative AI and LLMs while advancing scientific computing for HPC workloads.
NVIDIA HGX™ H200, the world’s leading AI computing platform, features the H200 GPU for the fastest performance. An eight-way HGX H200 provides over 32 petaflops of FP8 deep learning compute and 1.1TB of aggregate high-bandwidth memory for the highest performance in generative AI and HPC applications.

Key AI and HPC workload features

• Unlock Insights With High-Performance LLM Inference
  In the ever-evolving landscape of AI, businesses rely on large language models to address a diverse range of inference needs. An AI inference accelerator must deliver the highest throughput at the lowest TCO when deployed at scale for a massive user base. H200 doubles inference performance compared to H100 when handling LLMs such as Llama2 70B.

• Optimize Generative AI Fine-Tuning Performance
  Large language models can be customized to specific business case needs with fine-tuning, low-rank adaptation (LoRA), or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods. These methods bridge the gap between general pretrained results and task-specific solutions, making them essential tools for industry and research applications.
  NVIDIA H200’s Transformer Engine and fourth-generation Tensor Cores speed up fine-tuning by 5.5X over A100 GPUs. This performance increase allows enterprises and AI practitioners to quickly optimize and deploy generative AI to benefit their business. Compared to fully training foundation models from scratch, fine-tuning offers better energy efficiency and the fastest access to customized solutions needed to grow business.

• Industry-Leading Generative AI Training
  The era of generative AI has arrived, and it requires billion-parameter models to take on the paradigm shift in business operations and customer experiences.
  NVIDIA H200 GPUs feature the Transformer Engine with FP8 precision, which provides up to 5X faster training over A100 GPUs for large language models such as GPT-3 175B. The combination of fourth-generation NVLink, which offers 900GB/s of GPU-to-GPU interconnect, PCIe Gen5, and NVIDIA Magnum IO™ software, delivers efficient scalability from small enterprise to massive unified computing clusters of GPUs. These infrastructure advances, working in tandem with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite, make the NVIDIA H200 the most powerful end-to-end generative AI and HPC data center platform.

• Supercharged High-Performance Computing
  Memory bandwidth is crucial for high-performance computing applications, as it enables faster data transfer and reduces complex processing bottlenecks. For memory-intensive HPC applications like simulations, scientific research, and artificial intelligence, H200’s higher memory bandwidth ensures that data can be accessed and manipulated efficiently, leading to up to a 110X faster time to results.
  The NVIDIA data center platform consistently delivers performance gains beyond Moore’s Law. And H200’s breakthrough AI capabilities further amplify the power of HPC+AI to accelerate time to discovery for scientists and researchers working on solving the world’s most important challenges.

• Reduced Energy and TCO
  In a world where energy conservation and sustainability are top of mind, the concerns of business leaders and enterprises have evolved. Enter accelerated computing, a leader in energy efficiency and TCO, particularly for workloads that thrive on acceleration, such as HPC and generative AI.
  With the introduction of H200, energy efficiency and TCO reach new levels. This cutting-edge technology offers unparalleled performance, all within the same power profile as H100. AI factories and at-scale supercomputing systems that are not only faster but also more eco-friendly deliver an economic edge that propels the AI and scientific community forward. For at-scale deployments, H200 systems provide 5X more energy savings and 4X better cost of ownership savings over the NVIDIA Ampere architecture generation.
