Vietnam’s first NVIDIA AI supercomputer launched
PANO - VinAI Research on May 23 launched its most advanced AI supercomputer system NVIDIA® DGX A100™.
NVIDIA® DGX A100 ™ is the latest production of AI computing company NVIDIA - the world’s number one Artificial Intelligence Computing Company.
Reportedly, the equipment can perform five petaFLOPS, equivalent to five quadrillion floating-point operations per second.
As a data center, the supercomputer is designed to provide much more computational performance than the current generation thanks to the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture which is built upon the new seven-nanomet process node technology.

VinAI Institute will take full advantage of the supercomputer for experiments with large AI models for linguistic data, images, and videos for intensive research. Accordingly, the supercomputer will optimize VinAI's computing power and resources with greater accuracy, as well as reduce the time required to complete an experiment from more than one week to less than 24 hours thanks to its superior speed and technology.
According to Dr. Bui Hai Hung, Director of VinAI Research, with the new NVIDIA DGX A100 AI supercomputer, VinAI is willing to expand the scale of research and accelerate the deployment of AI application projects.
According to Dennis Ang, NVIDIA Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Asia Pacific, they will closely cooperate with VinAI on an architectural level and coordinate with VinAI from the perspective of a product developer in order to promote outstanding results for their AI projects.
VinAI Research is focusing on basic research in machine learning, deep learning, and new methods and applications of AI in computer vision and natural language processing.
