Rabbiting on

The GPU maker named after a Roman vengeance daemon, Nvidia has announced the release of its Hopper GPU architecture.

For those not in the know, Hopper was not a relative of Thumper in Bambi but a line of graphics cards that the company says will accelerate the types of algorithms commonly used in data science.

It was not even named after a rabbit, but Grace Hopper, a pioneering US computer scientist, and it will succeeds Nvidia's Ampere architecture (which was named after a French mathematician and physicist and nothing to do with a lamp.

The first card in the Hopper lineup is the H100, containing 80 billion transistors and a component called the Transformer Engine that's designed to speed up specific categories of AI models.

It also contains Nvidia's MIG technology, which allows an H100 to be partitioned into seven smaller, isolated instances to handle different types of jobs.
