NVIDIA collaborates with Microsoft to build the most powerful Cloud AI supercomputer

In order to help businesses train, deploy, and scale AI, including large, cutting-edge models, NVIDIA collaborates with Microsoft to build one of the most potent AI supercomputers in the world. This supercomputer is powered by Microsoft Azure's cutting-edge supercomputing infrastructure in combination with NVIDIA GPUs, networking, and full-stack AI software.

"Both industry adoption and AI technological advancements are accelerating. According to Manuvir Das, VP of corporate computing at NVIDIA, the development of foundation models "has sparked a tidal wave of research, promoted new startups, and allowed new enterprise applications." "Our partnership with Microsoft will provide researchers and businesses with cutting-edge AI infrastructure to capitalize on the revolutionary power of AI," the statement continued. The ND- and NC-series virtual machines in Azure's cloud AI computer are strong and scalable virtual machines designed for distributed AI training and inference. With thousands of NVIDIA A100 and H100 GPUs, NVIDIA Quantum-2 400Gb/s InfiniBand networking.

The NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite added to its platform is the first public cloud to use NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI stack.

NVIDIA will work with Azure to research and accelerate advancements in generative AI, a rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence where foundational models like the Megatron Turing NLG 530B serve as the basis for unsupervised, self-learning algorithms to generate new text, code, and digital images, video, or audio.

Additionally, the businesses will work together to improve Microsoft's DeepSpeed deep learning optimization tool. Azure corporate clients will get access to NVIDIA's entire suite of AI processes and software development kits that have been tailored for Azure.

According to Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of the Cloud + AI Group at Microsoft, "AI is fuelling the next wave of automation across companies and industrial computers, enabling firms to achieve more with less while they manage economic challenges." "Our partnership with NVIDIA unlocks the most scalable supercomputer platform in the world, bringing cutting-edge AI capabilities to any organization on Microsoft Azure," says the statement.
