What is NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip?

Some computers mix different kinds of processors, because a general-purpose processor and a specialised one are each good at different jobs. This is called heterogeneous computing: adding dissimilar processors to gain performance or energy efficiency for particular tasks. The NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip is a hardware device that pairs a Grace CPU with a Hopper GPU in a single superchip, linked by a fast, memory-coherent chip-to-chip connection. NVIDIA describes it as a platform for high-performance computing and AI workloads that accelerates applications with the strengths of both GPUs and CPUs.
