Putting the HGX A100 4-GPU server platform together 

To deliver the most efficient acceleration, we recommend the following system design considerations: 

• Use a single, high core count CPU if the workload does not require extra CPU capacity. This lowers system BOM and power and simplifies scheduling. 
• Free the PCIe switch! Direct connect from the CPU to the A100 GPU to save system BOM and power. 
• Equip the node with one or two 200-Gb/s NIC and NVMe to cover a wide variety of use cases. The Mellanox ConnectX-6 200Gb/s NIC is the best option. 
• Adopt GPUDirect Storage, which reduces read/write latency, lowers CPU overhead, and enables higher performance.
