Understanding NVIDIA’s Datacenter GPU line
May 24, 2023
Summary
This post provides a technical guide to understanding NVIDIA's datacenter GPU lineup, focusing on deciphering GPU names (architecture and tier) and comparing different cards for ML model training, fine-tuning, and serving. It details how to infer a card's capabilities from its alphanumeric identifier and offers examples of comparisons between various GPU models (T4 vs L4, A10 vs A100, K80 vs T4) to aid in hardware selection for AI workloads.
