NVIDIA A16 UNPRECEDENT USER EXPERIENCE AND DENSITY FOR GRAPHICS-RICH VDI

The NVIDIA A16 is an enterprise-grade GPU specifically designed for virtualization of graphics workstations and virtual desktops (VDI) based on DELL PowerEdge R760 and DELL PowerEdge R760xa servers . . It is part of the A-series of GPUs built on the Ampere architecture, and is optimized for high-density virtual workstations with low latency and increased performance compared to previous generations.

Key features of NVIDIA A16:

1. Architecture :

   • Ampere is an NVIDIA architecture that significantly improves efficiency and performance, especially for virtualization and large data processing tasks.

2. CUDA kernel :

   • 7,168 CUDA cores - these cores are responsible for parallel calculations and increase performance in tasks that require significant computing resources.

3. Memory :

   • 64 GB of GDDR6 (16 GB for each GPU, since the A16 contains four separate graphics chips).
   • This provides the ability to work with large data sets and at the same time support multiple users with dedicated memory for each instance.

4. Form factor and design :

   • Four graphics processors on one board (Multi-GPU), which allows you to simultaneously serve more users of virtual workstations.
   • Passive cooling, making the A16 ideal for installation in servers with an active cooling system.

5. Interface :

   • PCIe Gen4 — support for the PCIe 4.0 interface, which provides high bandwidth and accelerated data exchange between the graphics processor and other system components.

6. Energy consumption (TDP) :

   • 250W is relatively moderate power consumption considering the presence of four GPUs on one board.

7. NVIDIA vGPU (Virtual GPU) technology :

   • Support for graphics virtualization using NVIDIA vGPU technology, which allows the power of a single GPU to be distributed between multiple users or virtual machines, providing high user density and performance.
   • Support for different vGPU profiles, which allows you to customize access to resources for each user according to their needs.

Purpose of NVIDIA A16:

1. Virtualization of graphic workstations (VDI) :

   • The A16 is specially optimized for creating high-performance virtual desktops (VDI) with the ability to serve a large number of users simultaneously.
   • High density of users per GPU thanks to the support of four separate GPUs, which allows you to serve multiple virtual machines per GPU.
   • Support for remote work solutions such as VMware Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops ensures smooth operation of virtual workstations with graphically rich applications.

2. Scalable multi-user performance :

   • Thanks to its Multi-GPU architecture, the A16 can support dozens of simultaneous users on a single server, making it ideal for corporate environments with large numbers of employees working remotely.
   • Ideal for office applications, 2D graphics, video processing, web browsing and light graphics tasks.

3. GPU-based computing and graphics processing :

   • Although the A16 is not a dedicated GPU for machine learning or 3D graphics rendering tasks, it still delivers excellent performance for virtualization-related graphics tasks thanks to its ability to efficiently distribute resources between multiple users.

Key benefits of NVIDIA A16:

• High virtualization density : A16 can provide more virtual machines per server, reducing total infrastructure costs for organizations.
• Improved performance and efficiency : Thanks to the Ampere architecture and PCIe 4.0 support, the A16 provides high throughput and low latency when working with remote workstations.
• Large amount of memory : 64 GB of GDDR6 memory allows you to perform complex tasks for several users at the same time, providing enough resources for graphically intensive applications.

Areas of application of NVIDIA A16:

• Virtual workstations and desktops (VDI) for office and corporate users.
• A remote desktop environment for graphically simple applications such as office applications, browsers, multimedia applications, etc.
• Digital workspaces for large corporations that support large numbers of remote workers.

The NVIDIA A16 is ideal for large enterprises that use virtualization to provide their employees with graphically rich workstations with the ability to efficiently distribute resources among a large number of users.
