Bringing AI to Enterprise

Using AI in business is a top priority across all industries. AI and deep learning have the power to pull meaningful insights from your data, bringing smarter experiences for your customers. To democratize this technology, NVIDIA has partnered with Microsoft, offering GPU deep learning in the Cloud.

Microsoft Azure NC-Series virtual machines—powered by NVIDIA GPUs—provide customers around the world access to industry leading GPU-accelerated computing via the Cloud.

SPEED UP YOUR INSIGHTS WITH SCALABLE DEEP LEARNING

Microsoft Azure NC is a massively scalable and highly accessible GPU computing platform. Customers can use GPU Direct RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over InfiniBand for scaling jobs across multiple instances. Scaling out to 10s, 100s, or even 1,000s of GPUs across hundreds of nodes allows customers to submit tightly coupled jobs like Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit. A tool perfect for natural language processing, image recognition, and object detection.

ITERATE FASTER WITH GPU-OPTIMIZED MICROSOFT COGNITIVE TOOLKIT

In a race to engage users with smarter experiences powered by AI, businesses are constantly iterating to improve their deep learning models. The productivity of your data scientists, and time to market rely on a short turnaround time to train increasingly complex models.

Cognitive Toolkit runs up to 170 times faster on a DGX-1 server than a CPU server. It uses NVIDIA NVLink interconnect and NCCL library to scale on multiple GPUs and deliver the maximum performance advantage.
