SERVER INTEGRATION
| Cooling | Passive thermal solution in the family datasheet; server integration supplies the cooling arrangement. Source ↗ |
|---|---|
| Physical interface | SXM2 module, not a conventional PCIe add-in card. Source ↗ |
| ECC | ECC supported. Source ↗ |
| Memory | 16GB HBM2 per accelerator; distinct from V100S. Source ↗ |
| Board power | 300W maximum in the V100 SXM2 column. Source ↗ |
| System interface | NVIDIA NVLink system interface listed in the SXM2 column. Source ↗ |
| Toolchain qualification | Volta requires a legacy toolchain plan: CUDA 13 removes offline compilation for pre-Turing architectures. Qualify the exact driver and application build rather than assuming current CUDA compilation support. Source ↗ |
PLATFORM AND SOFTWARE
- Requires a compatible SXM2 baseboard and cooling assembly; not a conventional PCIe-slot card
- V100S is a separate model with different bandwidth and is not this variant
- Reference dimensions were not established from the checked family datasheet and remain unknown
- CUDA 13 removes offline compilation support targeting architectures before Turing, including Volta; qualify a compatible toolchain rather than assuming current CUDA support
- An existing application may continue to run with a compatible runtime and driver; the compilation boundary is not an assertion that all installed workloads stop
- Check framework binaries, required kernels and driver lifecycle before selecting legacy hardware
Manufacturer maximum accelerator rating; not server consumption
INTERCONNECT
NVLink
300 GB/s. Manufacturer aggregate interface rating, not sustained application throughput; system topology matters
