A30 GPU

The NVIDIA A30 is a data center GPU based on the Ampere architecture, positioned as a mid-range accelerator in NVIDIA's server GPU lineup. Released in 2021, the A30 serves as a versatile option between entry-level and flagship data center cards, offering substantial compute capabilities while maintaining relatively modest power requirements. The A30 features 24GB of HBM2 memory with 933 GB/s of memory bandwidth, 3584 CUDA cores, and 224 third-generation Tensor Cores optimized for mixed-precision AI workloads. Key technical specifications include 165 TFLOPS of FP16 performance and 10.3 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, delivered within a 165W TDP envelope. The A30 supports Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology, allowing a single card to be partitioned into up to four isolated GPU instances for improved resource utilization. Third-generation NVLink provides 200 GB/s of GPU-to-GPU bandwidth, while PCIe Gen4 connectivity offers 64 GB/s host interface bandwidth. The dual-slot form factor makes it suitable for dense server deployments. In cloud environments, the A30 typically handles AI training for medium-scale models, AI inference workloads requiring substantial memory, and HPC applications that benefit from GPU acceleration. The combination of 24GB memory capacity and MIG support makes it particularly suitable for multi-tenant cloud deployments where resource sharing and isolation are important considerations.
