NVIDIA today announced a supercomputer built on the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip, adding to a wave of new energy-efficient supercomputers based on the Arm Neoverse...
But in this case there is a surprise: No GPUs! Does this signal something larger about CEO Jensen Huang’s ambitions? I think not, but let’s explore.The new system to be based at the Bristol & Bath Science Park, in the U.K., will feature 384 Arm-based NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchips. While not a huge system, it is expected to be one of Europe’s most energy efficient systems, delivering 6 times the performance and energy efficiency of Isambard 2.
When NVIDIA announced it was building Grace, its own Arm Neoverse-based CPU, there was considerable buzz about the GPU-maker’s intentions. At the time, Jensen Huang assured his partners and investors that he did not intend to compete with x86 or Arm CPU vendors. Instead, he saw an Arm CPU as a means to and end, allowing his company to create a more tightly-coupled and integrated system base on three silicon pillars: Arm CPUs, DPUs, and GPUs.
Now, with the new Isambard 3, NVIDIA is in the CPU business to deliver a cost- and energy-efficient supercomputing platform. Is this just the first step?
