Azure’s ND GB200 v6 Delivers Record Performance for Inference Workloads
Achieving peak AI performance requires both cutting-edge hardware and a finely optimized infrastructure. Azure’s ND GB200 v6 Virtual Machines, accelerated by the NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs, have already demonstrated world record performance of 865,000 tokens/s for inferencing on the industry standard LLAMA2 70B
Preview Announcement: Open OnDemand Integration with Azure CycleCloud Workspace for Slurm
This exciting integration with CycleCloud enables end users to dynamically create and configure an Open OnDemand server within minutes. The system automatically deploys Open OnDemand and registers any Slurm cluster deployed by CycleCloud, streamlining the setup process.
Ramp up with me... on HPC: Understanding Virtual Machines, CPUs, and GPUs
There are a lot of different products you need to successfully complete a high-performance computing (HPC) workload. You’ll hear several terms regularly, like virtual machines, CPUs, GPUs, compute power, and compute constrained. While these are really important to talk about in high performance computing, they were difficult concepts for me to grasp. Personally, I am a visual learner and I struggle with theoretical concepts that I can’t just physically see. So, I’ll do my best to both explain the concepts, and show you the hardware so you can visualize what they are.Ramp up with me...on HPC: What is high-performance computing (HPC)?
Over the next several months, let’s take a journey together and learn about the different use cases. Join me as I dive into each use case and for some of them, I’ll even try my hand at the workload for the first time. We’ll talk about what went well, and any what issues I ran into. And maybe, you’ll get to hear a little about our customers and partners along the way.Ramp up with me... on HPC: What is Rendering?
New to learning about high performance computing (HPC) and want to know what Rendering is all about? Read the blog to take a journey into creating a new rendered animation and learn a little bit more about what this workload is and how it relates to HPC.
