Performance Analysis
The FP16 dense performance of 165 TFLOPS on the A30 exceeds the 18.7 TFLOPS dense performance on the P100 by a factor derived directly from these figures while the A30 also lists FP16 with sparsity at 330 TFLOPS. This FP16 dense to FP32 ratio of 165 TFLOPS to 10.3 TFLOPS on the A30 supports larger batch sizes in training and inference compared to the P100 FP16 dense to FP32 ratio of 18.7 TFLOPS to 9.3 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 933 GB/s on the A30 versus 732 GB/s on the P100 influences achievable batch sizes in memory intensive operations and the A30 INT8 dense rating of 330 TOPS has no direct counterpart published for the P100.

When to Choose the A30
The A30 suits scenarios that require 24 GB HBM2 memory and 165 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance at a 165W TDP. Workloads that utilize the 933 GB/s memory bandwidth and NVLink interconnect on the A30 benefit from these specifications over the P100 alternatives.
When to Choose the P100
The P100 fits deployments limited to Pascal architecture compatibility or SXM2 form factors with 16 GB HBM2 memory. Applications that operate within 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 and 732 GB/s memory bandwidth constraints align with the P100 specifications.
Use Cases
The A30 supplies 165 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance and 24 GB HBM2 memory that exceed the P100 18.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance and 16 GB HBM2 memory.
The A30 provides 330 TOPS INT8 dense performance and 933 GB/s memory bandwidth that support higher throughput than the P100 specifications allow.
The A30 FP16 dense rating of 165 TFLOPS combined with 24 GB HBM2 memory enables larger model adjustments than the P100 18.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense rating and 16 GB HBM2 memory.
The A30 933 GB/s memory bandwidth and 24 GB HBM2 memory accommodate diffusion model requirements beyond the P100 732 GB/s memory bandwidth and 16 GB HBM2 memory.
Both GPUs deliver comparable FP32 performance at 10.3 TFLOPS on the A30 and 9.3 TFLOPS on the P100 for double precision scientific tasks.
