The initiative has produced a series of offerings dubbed validated designs. Those are Dell servers equipped with the company’s internally developed management tools, as well as Nvidia chips and software. The systems are specifically optimized to support AI training and inference use cases.

“We are at a historic moment, when incredible advances in generative AI are intersecting with enterprise demand to do more with less,” said Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang. “With Dell Technologies, we’ve designed extremely scalable, highly efficient infrastructure that enables enterprises to transform their business by securely using their own data to build and operate generative AI applications.”

Project Helix is based on Dell’s PowerEdge R760xa server. The machine can be configured with up to two chips from Intel Corp.’s latest Sapphire Rapids processor line. According to Dell, the chips have as many as 112 cores between them depending on the configuration and are supported by up to eight terabytes of memory. 

Companies can also equip PowerEdge R760xa servers with Nvidia’s newest and fastest GPU, the H100. The chip features 80 billion transistors produced using a four-nanometer process. According to Nvidia, it can train AI models up to nine times faster than its previous-generation silicon.
