The datacenter GPU situation is worse than the used car market The hyperscalers and cloud builders are rationing access and we would not be surprised to see price increases for GPU capacity in the cloud. Full story by TDaytonPM at TheNextPlatform
, with the PCI-Express versions of the H100 GPUs perhaps worth somewhere from $15,000 to $24,000. At the time, the price of the A100 SXM4 had risen to around $15,000 because of rising demand. And only a few weeks ago,The situation is worse than the used car market here in the United States, and it is a kind of inflation that comes from too much demand and too little supply. A situation that vendors love when they know they can’t make enough units anyway.
What we can say for sure is that El Capitan is first in line for the MI300A compute engines, and to break through 2.1 exaflops peak at plain vanilla 64-bit double precision floating point will require 22,000 sockets, and in this case, a socket is a node. The current “Sierra” system, which is now approaching five years old because El Capitan is coming to market about a year later than planned has 4,320 nodes, each with two Power9 processors from IBM and four “Volta” V100 GPU accelerators from Nvidia. That is a total of 17,280 GPUs in Sierra, and if our guesses about MI300A’s FP64 performance are correct – and we are the first to admit that this is just a hunch – then that is only 27 percent more GPU sockets in El Capitan than were in Sierra.
In the past, we would actually figure out the list price of a GPU from the supercomputing deals by reversing the HPC national lab deep discount. With the Volta V100 accelerators used in Sierra, for instance, the GPUs listed for around $7,500 but sold to Lawrence Livermore and Oak Ridge for around $4,000 a pop. And so list price for the MI300A, if that old discount level prevailed, might be above $40,000.
