NVIDIA today announced that its AI inference platform, newly expanded with NVIDIA® A30 and A10 GPUs for mainstream servers, has achieved record-setting performance across every category on the latest release of MLPerf.
MLPerf is the industry’s established benchmark for measuring AI performance across a range of workloads spanning computer vision, medical imaging, recommender systems, speech recognition and natural language processing.
Debuting on MLPerf, NVIDIA A30 and A10 GPUs combine high performance with low power consumption to provide enterprises with mainstream options for a broad range of AI inference, training, graphics and traditional enterprise compute workloads. Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Inspur and Lenovo are expected to integrate the GPUs into their highest volume servers starting this summer.
NVIDIA achieved these results taking advantage of the full breadth of the NVIDIA AI platform ― encompassing a wide range of GPUs and AI software, including TensorRT™ and NVIDIA Triton™ Inference Server ― which is deployed by leading enterprises, such as Microsoft, Pinterest, Postmates, T-Mobile, USPS and WeChat.
“As AI continues to transform every industry, MLPerf is becoming an even more important tool for companies to make informed decisions on their IT infrastructure investments,” said Ian Buck, general manager and vice president of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA. “Now, with every major OEM submitting MLPerf results, NVIDIA and our partners are focusing not only on delivering world-leading performance for AI, but on democratizing AI with a coming wave of enterprise servers powered by our new A30 and A10 GPUs.”
MLPerf Results
NVIDIA is the only company to submit results for every test in the data center and edge categories, delivering top performance results across all MLPerf workloads.
Several submissions also use Triton Inference Server, which simplifies the complexity of deploying AI in applications by supporting models from all major frameworks, running on GPUs, as well as CPUs, and optimizing for different query types including batch, real-time and streaming. Triton submissions achieved performance close to that of the most optimized GPU implementations, as well as CPU implementations, with comparable configurations.
NVIDIA also broke new ground with its submissions using the NVIDIA Ampere architecture’s Multi-Instance GPU capability by simultaneously running all seven MLPerf Offline tests on a single GPU using seven MIG instances. The configuration showed nearly identical performance compared with a single MIG instance running alone.
These submissions demonstrate MIG’s performance and versatility, which enable infrastructure managers to provision right-sized amounts of GPU compute for specific applications to get maximum output from every data center GPU.
In addition to NVIDIA’s own submissions, NVIDIA partners Alibaba Cloud, Dell Technologies, Fujitsu, GIGABYTE, HPE, Inspur, Lenovo and Supermicro submitted a total of over 360 results using NVIDIA GPUs.
NVIDIA’s Expanding AI Platform
The NVIDIA A30 and A10 GPUs are the latest additions to the NVIDIA AI platform, which includes NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPUs, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier™ and Jetson Xavier NX, and a full stack of NVIDIA software optimized for accelerating AI.
The A30 delivers versatile performance for industry-standard servers, supporting a broad range of AI inference and mainstream enterprise compute workloads, such as recommender systems, conversational AI and computer vision.
The NVIDIA A10 GPU accelerates deep learning inference, interactive rendering, computer-aided design and cloud gaming, enabling enterprises to support mixed AI and graphics workloads on a common infrastructure. Using NVIDIA virtual GPU software, management can be streamlined to improve the utilization and provisioning of virtual desktops used by designers, engineers, artists and scientists.
The NVIDIA Jetson platform, based on the NVIDIA Xavier™ system-on-module, provides server-class AI performance at the edge, enabling a wide variety of applications in robotics, healthcare, retail and smart cities. Built on NVIDIA’s unified architecture and the CUDA-X™ software stack, Jetson is the only platform capable of running all the edge workloads in compact designs while consuming less than 30W of power.
Availability
NVIDIA A100 GPUs are available in servers from leading manufacturers and in the cloud from all major cloud service providers. Additionally, A100 GPUs are featured across the NVIDIA DGX™ systems portfolio, including the NVIDIA DGX Station A100, NVIDIA DGX A100 and NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD.
The A30 and A10, which consume just 165W and 150W, are expected in a wide range of servers starting this summer, including NVIDIA-Certified Systems™ that go through rigorous testing to ensure high performance across a wide range of workloads.
NVIDIA Triton and NVIDIA TensorRT are both available on NGC™, NVIDIA’s software catalog.

On Earth Day, The Active Consumer is rolling out the mobile app ‘Econus’ to spark positive change and reduce environmental impact through tangible actions
What is the true cost of consumption?
This is the question entrepreneur and sustainability activist Scott Fletcher asked himself when considering the impact of human buying habits on our world.
According to Fletcher, consumption may seem benign and necessary as people fulfill their range of needs, but in reality it has many unintended and negative consequences. Added up, the items humans purchase may be contributing to everything from air pollution to worker exploitation, animal cruelty, and even the rise of healthcare premiums for all.
Fletcher’s solution was to create a way for people everywhere to rethink the impact of their consumption and change their buying behaviors for the betterment of the planet.
With The Active Consumer, the goal is to reduce the impact of everyday purchases by giving “purpose to our spare change, and our spare change to purpose.” Fletcher’s vision is for individual consumer actions to influence systemic change.
Now, on the heels of the launch of their website earlier this month, Fletcher and his team are launching a new mobile app on Earth Day (April 22). “Econus” uses the theory of externalities to empower consumers to engage in the economics behind consumption to reduce negative unintended consequences and spark positive change.
With the app, users can align with specific causes, link the purchases they make with these causes, and choose a non-profit that will receive their Rounded-Up spare change whenever a select purchase affects their cause. For example, a user passionate about supporting environmental causes can choose to link purchases like power bills, gas, and travel expenses to the cause of air quality and have the spare change from those purchases go to an organization like Moms Clean Air Force.
As a social app, Econus also allows users to create “Preference Personas” and connect with like-minded individuals to crowdfund for the charitable causes that matter to them.
“We all have to buy things to live, whether that’s dinner for the family or transportation to and from work,” Fletcher said. “We are excited to have created a unique and disruptive app that will allow people living their lives to simultaneously reduce their footprint and make our world a better place.”

With A Capex of $25M for Mining Infrastructure and Hardware, Bullet Plots Course to 2,625 Petahash Consuming 100 Megawatts Within 12 Months
Bullet Blockchain LTD (“Bullet” or the “Company”), a turnkey crypto mining operation focused on stability, transparency and scalability, announced today, that the company will officially launch its bitcoin mining operations in the 3rd QT of 2021, mining bitcoin with the use of 3,500 next-generation ASIC miners, having a hash rate capacity of 315 petahash, consuming 12 megawatts of electricity.
Management indicated that Bullet Blockchain has invested approximately $14.5M of the capital ($25M Total Capex) that the Company secured from investors. The money was invested into infrastructure and hardware, which consists of 3,500 A1246 miners and the buildout of the ‘off-grid’ site, which supports 12 megawatts of capacity. Bullet has completed the build of the physical site and expects to take delivery of the ASIC servers by July.
Further, management has indicated that the initial 12 megawatts developed, is the first stage of a three-part buildout of a total 100 megawatt facility, supporting a hash rate capacity of 2,625 petahash. Bullet anticipates completing the next two phases of the 100 megawatt buildout within 12 months.
While Bullet is a well-capitalized upstart in the crypto mining space – initially focused on bitcoin mining, management believes that a large part of its value and viability is rooted within the ecosystem from which the Company operates. Bullet is in a ‘turnkey’ environment, where the Company is aligned with well positioned infrastructure partners. This affords Bullet the benefit of immediate access to highly coveted hardware and the freedom of having significant access to land, buildings, gas, generators, racks, security, etc.
Most important, management firmly believes that it can run its bitcoin mining operations more efficiently, at far less cost than its competitors. Bullet is about efficiency, stability, transparency and scalability. Management is confident that the Company will instill confidence, and bring value, to its current and future shareholders.

VoCall is a scheduling Voice Assistant for medical practices that uses natural language voice processing technology so patients can easily manage their appointments over the phone.
Magic Medical Solutions, parent company of VoCall, is pleased to announce that its scheduling voice assistant software, VoCall, has been selected as the Allscripts App of the Month for April 2021. “As medical practitioners ourselves, we set out to build a one-of-a-kind solution that solves one of the more difficult operational problems that medical practices face. VoCall integrates with Allscripts® Practice Management to match a patient’s appointment preference with the physician’s availability,” explained Paul Cox, Founder and CEO of Magic Medical Solutions.
VoCall is an innovative scheduling voice assistant designed specifically for healthcare practices. Using natural language processing technology, VoCall allows patients to easily manage their own appointments by phone – saving time and improving the overall experience for patients, providers, and practice employees.
“Sixty-five percent of all patients prefer to schedule appointments by phone and based on our research, it takes a scheduler, on average, 4 to 6 minutes to change an appointment. This can erode the patient experience and takes valuable time away from the staff,” said Paul.
He continued, “VoCall is capable of handling the vast majority of these types of calls to a typical medical practice and makes it easier for patients to change, confirm, or cancel their appointments over the phone. This leads to improved operational efficiency and resource allocation, true cost savings, business continuity, and enhanced patient engagement.”
Improving the way scheduling is handled creates a significant business opportunity for medical practices of all sizes. Today, using voice technology, such as Alexa and Siri, is natural, intuitive, and easily accessible and can often be more convenient than logging on to an online portal.
Paul continues, “Without a smart technology solution in place to improve scheduling management, medical practices are wasting valuable time and resources that could be spent doing more important and productive tasks. In essence, VoCall helps practices deliver a better overall experience for the staff, physicians, and patients.”
VoCall is the only voice scheduling assistant using natural language technology that integrates with Allscripts Practice Management to fully automate the patient scheduling workflow. The software solution has been tested and certified by the Allscripts Developer Program team.
The VoCall team will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 1:00 EDT to share more information on how voice technology can be used to improve a medical practice’s operations. In addition to a demonstration of how the software works, attendees will be joined by current users who will share their experience with VoCall and the impact it has had on their practice.
Allscripts clients who are interested in a powerful new way to streamline scheduling, increase operational efficiency, and improve overall patient engagement are encouraged to register for the App of the Month webinar. Additional information about what VoCall has to offer can be found on the Allscripts Application Store or on the VoCall website.
About VoCall VoCall is scheduling voice assistant software for medical practices that uses natural language voice processing technology to allow patients to easily call and manage their own appointments. The product was designed and built by Magic Medical Solutions, a healthcare technology company dedicated to transforming physician practice management by blending cutting-edge technology with smart business practices.
