Performance Notes

On Cirrascale's bare-metal servers, the RTX A6000 delivers native Ampere performance: up to 38.7 TFLOPS FP32, 77.4 TFLOPS FP16 with Tensor Cores. Expect excellent single-GPU throughput for memory-intensive tasks, with 48GB VRAM handling large models without swapping. Multi-GPU scaling leverages NVLink (112.5 GB/s bidirectional), ideal for distributed training; provider's dedicated setups minimize scaling bottlenecks. Network bandwidth (typically 100Gbps+) and NVMe storage options support fast data loading. Specific benchmarks are provider-specific and not publicly detailed—performance matches on-prem equivalents, but verify via trials. No known throttling issues due to non-virtualization.
