NVIDIA Adds 40% AI Inference Boost and 8-Unit DGX Spark Clusters

NVIDIA announced updates to its DGX and RTX platforms focused on local AI development. The company says AI inference on DGX and RTX systems gains a 40% boost. The source does not specify how that figure was measured.

DGX Spark now supports clusters of up to 8 units, expanding beyond the 4-way clusters previously supported, according to Wccftech. The update allows multiple DGX Spark systems to work together in a cluster.

The source describes configurations with 64 GB and 128 GB of memory per system. It says an 8-unit cluster provides 512 GB with 64 GB configurations, or 1 TB with 128 GB configurations. The article identifies the 64 GB DGX Spark configuration as approaching launch, but gives no specific release date.

The announced changes extend NVIDIA's local AI development options across DGX Spark, DGX, and RTX systems. The source does not provide benchmark details for the inference boost or further technical specifications for the clustering update.
