About the A100-PCIE-40GB
The A100-PCIE-40GB is an Ampere-generation NVIDIA data center GPU, built for large-scale AI training, inference, and HPC. Released in 2020, it carries 40 GB of HBM2 at 1,555 GB/s, which sets how large a model fits on one card and how fast its weights stream. On Lium it is rented from independent providers by the second, with no minimum and no reservation, from the browser or the CLI.
Common uses
