Differences Between NVIDIA DGX and HGX

Image
In the modern era of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, NVIDIA’s GPU technology plays a crucial role in deep learning and large-scale data processing. Two of NVIDIA’s most notable GPU platforms are NVIDIA DGX and NVIDIA HGX. Despite their similar names, they represent different approaches from NVIDIA in selling 8x GPU systems with NVLink technology. Additionally, NVIDIA’s business model has evolved between the P100 “Pascal” and V100 “Volta” generations, and we have witnessed the HGX model reaching new heights with the introduction of the A100 “Ampere” and H100 “Hopper” GPUs. One of the simplest ways to understand the distinction between NVIDIA HGX and NVIDIA DGX is by considering the following: NVIDIA DGX is the system brand of NVIDIA. NVIDIA HGX is a NVIDIA-authorized platform for third-party OEMs to build systems with 8x NVLink GPUs and NVSwitch technology. What is NVIDIA DGX? DGX is a series of high-performance computing systems launched by NVIDIA that integrate...

NADDOD Delivers the First 400G OSFP-RHS SR8 Module to the Market

NADDOD 400G OSFP-RHS SR8 Module 400G OSFP-RHS SR8 is a parallel 400Gb/s small form-factor pluggable (OSFP) optical module. Different from most Finned Top modules of 400G OSFP SR8 on th...

Finned-top and Flat-top Design in 400G/800G Optical Transceivers

Image
When choosing an optical transceiver, picking the wrong design could lead to compatibility issues with your current server, network card slots, or switches. In this article, we'll explore the differences between finned-top and flat-top designs in optical transceivers and guide you on how to make the right choice for your network. Finned-top vs. Flat-top In optical transceivers, "finned-top" and "flat-top" refer to two different structural designs within optoelectronic devices: Flat-top:  The flat-top design refers to optical transceivers where the top structure of the laser or optical emitter is flat. This design allows light to propagate and focus more easily, enhancing the efficiency of light coupling and transmission. Flat-top designs are often used in high-performance optical communication systems where maximizing signal transmission efficiency is crucial. Finned-top:  The finned-top design features a heat sink on top of the laser or optical device. Thes...
