Azure-based 'AI supercomputer' to use Nvidia GPUs and software
Microsoft and Nvidia say they are teaming up to build an"AI supercomputer" using Azure infrastructure combined with Nvidia's GPU accelerators, network kit, and its software stack.
According to Nvidia, the project will be a multi-year effort that will aim to deliver"one of the most powerful AI supercomputers in the world," and the move will also make Azure the first public cloud to incorporate Nvidia's AI software stack. The two companies offered no time frame for this project to become operational, but it appears that this so-called AI supercomputer may actually not exist as such.
We asked Nvidia for clarification, and a spokesperson told us that:"All new capabilities are in Azure instances, but the setup is such that enterprises will be able to scale those instances all the way up to supercomputing status." So that's an AI cloud service, in that case.
