Performance Analysis
The A30 FP16 dense performance reaches 165 TFLOPS compared with the V100 FP16 dense performance of 125 TFLOPS. This ratio of 1.32 indicates the A30 completes dense FP16 matrix operations faster during training and inference workloads. The A30 FP32 performance of 10.3 TFLOPS trails the V100 FP32 performance of 15.7 TFLOPS so full precision tasks run slower on the A30. Memory bandwidth of 933 GB/s on the A30 exceeds 900 GB/s on the V100 which permits modestly larger batch sizes in memory bound operations. The A30 also lists INT8 dense performance of 330 TOPS while the V100 lists no INT8 figure.
