NVIDIA DGX H200 Components: Deep Dive into the Hardware Architecture
The NVIDIA DGX H200 is a carefully engineered system designed for next-generation AI infrastructure, integrating a convergence of GPUs, networking, memory, CPUs, storage, and power systems. It features 8x H200 GPUs, each with 141 GB HBM3e memory and 4.8 TB/s bandwidth, interconnected by NVLink 4.0 and NVSwitch to create a high-bandwidth compute pool. This architecture is crucial for preventing bottlenecks during the training of large language models (LLMs) and multi-tenant inference. systems are vital for sustaining peak loads and continuous high throughput. This comprehensive component design translates into faster training convergence, lower inference costs, reduced I/O stalls, and seamless distributed scaling for enterprises. Uvation assists clients in optimising these deployments to achieve higher utilisation and return on investment. High-core-count CPUs manage orchestration and I/O, whilst NVMe SSDs with parallel file systems and GPUDirect Storage ensure data-hungry AI workloads are fed efficiently. InfiniBand/Ethernet with RoCE and GPUDirect RDMA enable seamless scaling across multiple nodes for distributed AI. Robust cooling and redundant power
