Nvidia Confirms Volta To Succeed Pascal, Launching In 2018 – To Power Supercomputers in 2017

Nvidia has confirmed that its “Volta” GPU architecture will be the successor to Pascal and is set for a 2018 introduction in the consumer market. While the first Volta powered supercomputers are expected to be operational by 2017. Volta represents Nvidia’s sixth generation of General Purpose GPU architectures since the introduction of the company’s first unified shader graphics architecture code named Tesla. Which debuted with the company’s highly successful GeForce 8 – 8000 series – back in 2006.

In 2017, we will be looking forward to two new supercomputers, the Summit from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Sierra from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Now both of these supercomputers have one thing in common, both of them will feature several next generation IBM POWER9 CPUs and also several NVIDIA Volta GPUs.

Summit is rated at a peak performance of 150-300 PFLOPS and this will be delivered through  more than 3400 compute nodes. Each node powered by several next generation IBM POWER9 CPUs and NVIDIA Volta based Tesla accelerators. Each node will deliver around 40 teraflops of compute and is touted as a more performent solution than an entire rack of flagship Haswell based server chips.

There’s one technology that will be pivotal to delivering the promise of Volta GPGPUs in servers and supercomputers, and that’s NVLINK. This technology is aimed at GPU accelerated servers and supercomputers where the inter-chip communication is extremely bandwidth limited and a major system bottleneck. Nvidia states that NV-Link will be up to 5 to 12 times faster than traditional PCIE 3.0 making it a major step forward in platform atomics. Earlier this year Nvidia announced that IBM will be integrating this new interconnect into its upcoming PowerPC server CPUs.

I cant wait for Pascal! Lets not start the hype train yet... Got to wait for some benchies!

All we have on pascal is a name and something about hbm2... but we couldn't live without the next name in line I suppose :P

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I often see shit only posted on their website and no other sources.

also. isin't it funny i looks like the powerpoint from nvidia. that just didn't have dates for volta ?
feels like they just slapped it on there...

I found those same words posted almost a year ago, the making of supercomputers by IBM and Nvidia is not new news, but there are no real specifics of what is in these new supercomputers only wccf know apparently, I doubt the veracity of it like times before.

Typicall WFFC is never reliable, but news has been announced on NVIDIA news. WFFC was just first to grab it.

This should be common knowledge by now. Their new "architectures" will have a two-year life cycle. Maxwell had 2014 and will go through 2015. 2016 Pascal will launch and will live through 2017. In 2018, Volta will launch, as per usual with their schedule unless something significant happens and they're unable to deliver, which I doubt.

Volta has been confirmed since the beginning of Kepler, not any news here.
