In many ways, the “Grace” CG100 server processor created by Nvidia – its first true server CPU and a very useful adjunct for extending the memory space of its “Hopper” GH100 GPU accelerators – was designed perfectly for HPC simulation and modeling workloads. And several major supercomputing labs are putting the Grace CPU through the HPC paces and we are seeing some interesting early results. The Grace CPU has a relatively high core count and a relatively low thermal footprint, and it has banks o...
