Oracle on Wednesday introduced new types of clusters set to be available for AI training through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The most powerful cluster will be based on Nvidia's upcoming on Blackwell GPUs and will offer up to 2.4 ZettaFLOPS of AI performance, making it even more powerful than Elon Musk's recently announced AI clusters.
Oracle's new supercomputer clusters can be configured with Nvidia's Hopper or Blackwell GPUs for AI and HPC as well as different networking gear, including ultra-low latency RoCEv2 with ConnectX-7 NICs and ConnectX-8 SuperNICs or Nvidia's Quantum-2 InfiniBand-based networks, and a choice of HPC storage, depending on performance needs:
- OCI Superclusters equipped with H100 GPUs can support up to 16,384 GPUs, offering a peak performance of 65 FP8/INT8 exaFLOPS and a combined network throughput of 13 Pb/s (13 petabits per second).
- H200 GPU-powered OCI Superclusters, launching later this year, will scale up to 65,536 GPUs, delivering up to 260 FP8/INT8 exaFLOPS and 52 Pb/s in network throughput.
- Finally, OCI Superclusters based on Blackwell B200 GPUs will scale up to 131,072 GPUs and will offer peak performance of up to 2.4 FP8/INT8 zettaFLOPS.
