Visit CoreWeave

CoreWeave's NVIDIA H100 SXM5 offering combines the cutting-edge Hopper architecture GPU with a Kubernetes-native cloud platform optimized for massive-scale AI training and VFX rendering. The H100 SXM5 delivers 80GB HBM3 VRAM, exceptional FP8/FP16 performance via Transformer Engine, and up to 3.35 TB/s memory bandwidth, making it ideal for training large language models (LLMs) and complex simulations. CoreWeave stands out with its InfiniBand-backed clusters enabling seamless multi-node scaling for thousands of GPUs, purpose-built for sophisticated engineering teams handling exascale workloads. Key value propositions include per-second billing for cost efficiency, spot instances for burst capacity, and native Kubernetes orchestration that simplifies deployment, autoscaling, and resource management. This setup empowers ML engineers to achieve breakthrough performance without infrastructure overhead, targeting teams training trillion-parameter models or VFX studios needing rapid rendering bursts. While enterprise-grade reliability is a strength, availability may fluctuate with demand.

Why NVIDIA H100 SXM5 on CoreWeave?

Choose CoreWeave for NVIDIA H100 SXM5 due to its Kubernetes-native architecture, which perfectly complements the GPU's multi-instance GPU (MIG) and NVLink capabilities for efficient orchestration at hyperscale. CoreWeave's massive InfiniBand clusters (up to 400 Gb/s+) enable low-latency all-to-all communication critical for distributed training on H100's Transformer Engine. Flexible per-second billing and spot instances reduce costs for variable workloads compared to rigid hourly models elsewhere. Unlike generalist clouds, CoreWeave's AI-focused infrastructure minimizes overhead, offering pre-tuned images for frameworks like PyTorch and JAX. This combination excels for LLM fine-tuning or inference at scale, providing superior TCO for teams needing rapid iteration without managing bare metal.

Performance Notes

On CoreWeave, expect H100 SXM5 to deliver peak Hopper performance: ~4 petaFLOPS FP8 AI, excellent scaling via NVSwitch/NVLink (900 GB/s bidirectional). InfiniBand networks support efficient multi-node topologies for DGX-like pods, with reported strong results in MLPerf benchmarks for training. Storage integrates fast NVMe (up to 30 GB/s+ throughput) and object stores. Multi-GPU scaling shines in Kubernetes pods up to 8x H100s, extending to clusters of thousands. Actual perf varies by workload, interconnect config, and software stack; CoreWeave publishes select benchmarks, but user-reported TFLOPS may hit 70-90% efficiency in optimized setups. No public data on exact PCIe vs. SXM configs here.

Getting Started

Getting started with CoreWeave's H100 SXM5 is streamlined via their web console or CLI, leveraging Kubernetes for declarative deployments. New users can launch GPU pods in minutes after signup, with pre-built images for NVIDIA CUDA, Docker, and ML frameworks.

Steps

  1. 1Sign up at coreweave.com, verify account, and add payment method for per-second billing.
  2. 2Access the Console or install CoreWeave CLI and authenticate with API token.
  3. 3Create a new namespace or pod YAML specifying 'nvidia.com/h100-sxm5' resource requests.
  4. 4Deploy the pod via 'kubectl apply' or Console 'Launch' button; select spot/on-demand.
  5. 5SSH or port-forward to pod, pull Docker images, and run workloads with NVIDIA drivers pre-installed.

Pro Tips

  • Leverage spot instances for 50-70% savings on non-critical training; set disruption budgets in Kubernetes for graceful handling.
  • Use CoreWeave's autoscaler and InfiniBand-optimized NCCL for multi-node jobs to maximize H100 interconnect bandwidth.
  • Monitor via integrated Prometheus/Grafana; tune MIG partitions for inference-heavy workloads to boost utilization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CoreWeave's billing model for NVIDIA H100 SXM5?
