*  Multi-GPU Scaling  * NVLink & NVSwitch for multi-GPU systems (e.g., DGX A100) *
*  Key Features             * –  MIG (Multi-Instance GPU)  – Splits GPU into 7 isolated instances <br> –  Sparsity Acceleration  – 2x speed for sparse AI models <br> –  3rd Gen NVLink  – Scalable to multi-GPU systems *

* Use Cases :
✔  AI Training/Inference  (GPT-3, recommender systems)
✔  High-Performance Computing (HPC)  (scientific simulations)
✔  Data Analytics  (big data processing)
✔  Cloud Acceleration  (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud instances)

* Performance Highlights
–  5x faster  than previous-gen V100 in AI workloads (TF32/FP16).
–  Supports MIG  for cloud GPU partitioning (e.g., 7x 5GB GPU instances).
–  PCIe 4.0 & NVLink  for high-speed multi-GPU scalability.
