How Are GPU Servers Used In the Real World?

GPU servers have become a nearly indispensable part of server infrastructure in modern industries, powering everything from AI and machine learning applications to high-performance computing. Unlike traditional CPU-only servers (which are designed for more general-purpose tasks), GPU servers are built to handle modern AI and parallel processing workloads with incredible efficiency.

Our new GPU server lineup offers unmatched performance in scenarios requiring massive data processing. Their ability to handle deep learning, AI models, and complex simulations makes them essential for businesses and industries needing to scale their operations or deploy massive cloud networks with large workloads.

Here are some real-world applications where GPU servers play a vital role in day-to-day operations:

  • Machine learning and AI: GPUs—especially Nvidia’s previous GPU generations—heavily rely on GPUs for their CUDA and Tensor cores, which provide lightning-fast processing and inference performance.
  • Data Analytics: They power real-time processing for large-scale data sets, enabling faster (and more accurate) insights.
  • Rendering and Visualization: Much more powerful than your typical GPU, a professional graphics card can support faster 3D rendering, video processing, and high-resolution image generation.
  • Scientific Research: Dedicated GPU servers can handle simulations and experiments in fields such as genomics, physics, and climate modeling.

The New Nvidia L4 Tensor Core GPUs

The Nvidia L4 Tensor core GPU is designed to meet the growing demands of the modern data center and cloud infrastructure. Built on top of Nvidia’s Lovelace architecture, the L4 is optimized for both high-performance computing and energy efficiency, making it a perfect choice if you’re looking to improve performance.

Thanks to the Tensor core GPU architecture, these Nvidia GPU servers can perform incredibly complex calculations efficiently and quickly, making them ideal for AI recommendations, generative AI tools, visual search, and automation. Compared to the previous T4 generation, the L4 alone is over 2.5x faster in generative AI performance.

It boasts a powerful design with high performance and low latency, making it an excellent choice for a complete AI inference portfolio. It also excels at offering fast concurrent video streams—with four video decoders and two video encoders, it can support up to a million concurrent AV1 video streams.

One of the most important benefits of the L4 Tensor core GPU architecture is its efficiency in accelerating AI and machine learning tasks while reducing computational overhead. The Tensor cores can process massive matrices of data in parallel, significantly boosting performance with a lower power draw. This leads to lower operational costs, as servers can handle more workloads with fewer resources.

Nvidia A2 Tensor Core GPU: Powerful GPU, Small Footprint

On the other hand, they also offer a potent (yet smaller) single slot card in the Nvidia A2 Tensor core GPU for companies looking for an entry-level, cost-efficient option. Despite the small form factor, the Nvidia A2 delivers impressive performance for a broad range of workloads, thanks to that same Tensor Core architecture (though this runs on their Ampere architecture, unlike the L4).

An Nvidia A2 is an excellent choice for edge environments with limited space and thermal requirements. It helps streamline operations for lighter AI and machine learning applications. These GPUs can massively outperform CPU-based servers by a wide margin, offering 7x more inference performance for Natural Language Processing and 20x inference speedup for text-to-speech processing.

Its efficient processing capabilities ensure that small businesses can offer entry-level inference with its low-profile form factor, boosting the performance of existing servers. The Nvidia A2 can also work alongside the L4 and other graphics cards, bringing flexibility for businesses that need to balance lightweight edge workloads with more demanding tasks within a data center.
