H100 vs. H200 GPUs

The H100 and H200 GPUs are designed to optimize AI inference workflows, with each offering distinct advantages for different use cases. The H100 is cost-effective for small-to-mid-sized models with lower or sporadic traffic, benefiting from Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology that allows partitioning for parallel processing of smaller models. Conversely, the H200, equipped with larger HBM3e memory and higher memory bandwidth, excels in handling very large models and workloads requiring extensive memory and context windows. It is particularly advantageous for memory-intensive applications due to its ability to fit large model weights and KV cache on a single node, enhancing performance for long-context inference. Both GPUs leverage NVLink for improved data transfer rates between GPUs and employ asynchronous programming to maximize throughput by overlapping data loading and computation. The choice between H100 and H200 depends on specific needs regarding model size, traffic volume, and budget, with H100 being suitable for embeddings and speech models, while H200 is preferable for large language models demanding maximum memory.
