NVIDIA today unveiled NVIDIA DGX A100, the third generation of the world's most advanced AI system, delivering 5 petaflops of AI performance and consolidating the power and capabilities of an entire data center into a single flexible platform for the first time. Immediately available, DGX A100 systems have begun shipping worldwide, with the first order going to the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, which will use the cluster's AI and computing power to better understand and fight COVID-19.

"NVIDIA DGX A100 is the ultimate instrument for advancing AI," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "NVIDIA DGX is the first AI system built for the end-to-end machine learning workflow - from data analytics to training to inference. And with the giant performance leap of the new DGX, machine learning engineers can stay ahead of the exponentially growing size of AI models and data."
