Summary

The NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU is a high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workhorse, designed to excel in both AI and HPC workloads. With its advanced Hopper architecture, the H200 provides 40% faster inference performance on Llama 2 13B and 90% faster performance on Llama 2 70B, demonstrating significant improvement in handling large-scale language models. The GPU's substantial memory and bandwidth allow it to handle even the most data-intensive applications with ease, minimizing bottlenecks and enabling real-time processing of vast datasets. Together AI's custom-built Together Kernel Collection (TKC) offers up to 24% speedup for operators used frequently in training and up to 75% speedup for fundamental operations used in FP8 inference, significantly accelerating common AI operations.
