"NVIDIA Volta is being prepped for launch in the next generation supercomputers known as Summit and Sierra. Little is known about Volta GPU specifications but an analysis down by NextPlatform over the details of Summit supercomputer reveal that it can be an insanely fast chips capable of delivering multi-tflops compute power in the HPC market."

NVIDIA Volta VG100 GPUs – The Heart of the Summit and Sierra Supercomputer, Multi-TFLOPs Chip With Fastest HBM2 Configuration
"When NVIDIA announced their Pascal GP100 GPU at GTC 2016, they called it the largest chip endeavor in the history of humanity. With a R&D budget of over several Billion dollars, Pascal GP100 was indeed the great chip of 2016, aimed to power the HPC and datacenter market with performance never before seen in the graphics industry. NVIDIA also utilized Pascal GP100 GPUs inside their own DGX SaturnV supercomputer that is designed to help them build smarter cards and next generation GPUs (GPUs Designing GPUs).

Just a year after their successful Pascal launch in the HPC market, NVIDIA will be planning to introduce their next grand chip for the HPC market, codenamed Volta. Details of the chip first emerged back at GTC 2015 where NVIDIA showcased what the predict to be the estimated performance output of their upcoming chips. Do note that Pascal was not launched at that time. According to the slides presented that day, Volta would have twice of everything that Pascal has. Double the memory capacity, double the compute, higher efficiency and faster bandwidth.

"We aren’t sure how much of that may end up being true but what NVIDIA estimated for Pascal was close to the final product (if not entirely the same). The only thing that Pascal currently lacks is the promised 32 GB capacity but that’s mostly an issue due to HBM production which has already ramped up and we can expect a full GP100 configuration with 32 GB capacity since that is entirely possible with the chip design. In short, VRAM limitation is due to production, not the chip design."

Summit Supercomputer Latest Details Provide First Glimpse of NVIDIA Volta VG100 GPU Specs
"The latest details for the Summit Supercomputer have been confirmed and they are incredible if we look from a HPC perspective. The Summit Supercomputer has 5-10x improvement in application performance over the Titan supercomputer that featured the Kepler GK110 GPU architecture. The Titan was comprised of 18,688 nodes rated at 1.4 TF (per node). The Summit features around 4,600 nodes with a rated compute output of over 40 TF (per node)."

"There’s 512 GB of DDR4 and additional HBM2 memory on each node. Titan in comparison had just 38 GB of DDR3 and 6 GB GDDR5 (per GPU) memory on each node. There’s also total of 800 GB NV memory per node. In total, the memory on Titan supercomputer was 710 TB, Summit peaks at over 6 Petabytes of memory (all DDR4 + HBM2 + Non-Volatile combined)."
