NVIDIA CUDA-X AI and HPC Software Stack Now Available on Marvell ThunderX Platforms

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and DENVER, Colo., Nov. 19, 2019 -- Marvell today announced the availability of NVIDIA GPU support on its ThunderX family of Arm-based server processors. Following NVIDIA's June announcement to bring CUDA to the Arm architecture, Marvell has collaborated with NVIDIA to port its CUDA-X AI and HPC libraries, GPU-accelerated AI frameworks and software development tools to the ThunderX platform. The computational performance and memory bandwidth of ThunderX2, Marvell's latest 64-bit Armv8-A based server processor, combined with the parallel processing capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs provide a compelling path to energy-efficient exascale computing. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continue to become essential technology components to data center server requirements at the cloud and network edge. To address these evolving AI and ML workloads, as well as the most challenging and complex problems in science and research, supercomputers need processors that are optimized to provide cutting-edge throughput, application latency and power.
