NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper

Introduction

NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper superchip fuses the Grace CPU and Hopper GPU with NVIDIA NVLink‑C2C, creating a single, coherent CPU‑GPU memory space. This design theoretically enables workloads to run faster and with less programming overhead compared to traditional systems with separate, discrete CPUs and GPUs.

FeatureWhat it means for you
Coherent memory modelCPU and GPU can share data directly, no explicit copies or staging buffers
900 GB/s coherent interconnectUp to 7x the bandwidth of PCIe Gen5, delivering fast memory access for data‑intensive tasks
HBM3 / HBM3e GPU memoryHigh‑capacity, high‑bandwidth memory that accelerates large ML models and simulations

GH200 is used, e.g., in Forschungszentrum Jülich’s JUPITER exascale class supercomputer and NVIDIA’s DGX GH200 system.
