After a lot of speculation, Nvidia finally announced its powerful supercomputer CPU called Nvidia Grace at its annual GPU Technology Conference . Named after famed American computer scientist and computer programming pioneer Grace Hopper , Nvidia’s first data-center processor is based on architecture from ARM. The company claimed in a press session ahead of GTC that Nvidia Grace is capable of delivering “10x the performance of today’s fastest servers on the most complex A.I. and high-performance computing workloads.” This is Nvidia’s first partnership with ARM since announcing its $40 billion acquisition of the company in 2020 . Unlike Apple’s ARM-based M1 processor , Nvidia Grace won’t be headed to a computer near you. Instead, it is designed to be used on diverse applications like natural language processing, recommender systems, and A.I. supercomputing, Nvidia’s executives said. Nvidia Grace is adopted by both the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) and the … [Read more...] about Nvidia embraces ARM on its new Grace supercomputing processors
