NVIDIA A16

Unprecedented User Experience and Density for Graphics-Rich VDI
Take remote work to the next level with NVIDIA A16, the ideal GPU for high-density, graphics rich VDI. Based on the latest NVIDIA Ampere architecture, A16 is purpose-built to achieve the highest user density, with up to 64 concurrent users per board in a dual slot form factor. Combined with NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) software, it enables the power and performance to tackle any project from anywhere. Based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, A16 provides double the user density versus the previous generation, while ensuring the best possible user experience.

Designed to meet the demands of the next generation of remote work, NVIDIA A16 has 4x the encoder throughput versus NVIDIA T4 to provide the best user experience, and flexibly supports heterogeneous user profiles on a single board.

Includes NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based CUDA cores, second-generation RT Cores, and third-generation Tensor Cores, delivering the flexibility to host virtual workstations powered by NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) software or leverage unused VDI resources to run compute workloads with NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS).

CUDA Cores

The NVIDIA Ampere architecture’s CUDA cores bring up to 2.5x the single-precision floating point (FP32) throughput compared to the previous generation, providing significant performance improvements for graphics workflows such as 3D model development and compute for workloads such as desktop simulation for computer-aided engineering (CAE).

Higher Speed GDDR6 Memory

Built with 64 GB GDDR6 memory total (4x 16 GB) delivering higher bandwidth throughput for ray tracing, rendering, and AI workloads than the previous generation. The NVIDIA A16 provides the graphics memory footprint to address the real-world datasets and models in latency-sensitive professional applications.

Second Generation RT Cores

Incorporating second generation ray tracing engines, the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture provides incredible ray traced rendering performance. NVIDIA A16 can render complex professional models with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions to empower users with instant insight. Working in concert with applications leveraging APIs such as NVIDIA OptiX, Microsoft DXR and Vulkan ray tracing, servers based on NVIDIA A16 will power truly interactive design workflows to provide immediate feedback for unprecedented levels of productivity.

Third Generation Tensor Cores

Purpose-built for deep learning matrix arithmetic at the heart of neural network training and inferencing functions, the NVIDIA A16 includes enhanced Tensor Cores that accelerate more datatypes (TF32 and BF16) and includes a new Fine-Grained Structured Sparsity feature that delivers up to 2x throughput for tensor matrix operations compared to the previous generation.

PCIe Gen 4

The NVIDIA A16 supports PCI Express Gen 4, which provides double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3, improving data-transfer speeds from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks like AI and data science.

Fifth Generation NVDEC Engine

NVDEC is well suited for transcoding and video playback applications for real-time decoding. The following video codecs are supported for hardware-accelerated decoding: MPEG-2, VC-1, H.264 (AVCHD), H.265 (HEVC), VP8, VP9, and AV1.

Virtual GPU Software for Virtualization

Support for NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software enables A16 to be virtualized to accelerate high-end design, AI, and compute workloads. The NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) license provides access to the world’s most powerful virtual workstations to enable flexible, work-from-anywhere solutions, while the NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) license accelerates virtualized compute workloads such as high-performance computing, AI and data science.
