About the HPE NVIDIA A40 48GB PCIe GPU Accelerator

The HPE NVIDIA A40 48GB PCIe GPU Accelerator delivers 346 TFLOPS at FP32, 692 TFLOPS at BF16, and 1,384 TFLOPS at FP8/INT8, positioning it as a versatile compute platform for mixed-precision AI and professional visualization workloads. Built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, this accelerator combines 10,752 CUDA cores with 336 third-generation Tensor Cores and 84 second-generation RT Cores, all backed by 48 GB of ECC-protected GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus capable of 696 GB/s throughput. The passive-cooled design operates at 300 W TDP and connects via PCIe 4.0 x16, making it suitable for deployment in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus, DL360 Gen10 Plus, and compatible Apollo systems.

For infrastructure teams evaluating GPU acceleration, the A40 offers enterprise-grade features including NVLink support for direct peer-to-peer communication between up to two GPUs, full ECC memory protection for mission-critical compute, and NVIDIA vGPU support for flexible workload sharing. The full-height, full-length dual-slot form factor integrates seamlessly into HPE server environments, while native support for CUDA, OpenCL, Vulkan, OpenGL, and DirectX 12 Ultimate ensures broad software compatibility. Four DisplayPort 1.4 outputs enable multi-monitor visualization workflows without additional adapters. Part number P40435-B21 identifies this HPE-manufactured module for procurement accuracy. AI infrastructure teams, data center architects, and enterprises requiring balanced performance in both training and inference scenarios will find the A40's memory capacity and bandwidth instrumental for production deployments.

Enterprise Deployment Scenarios

  • Data center-scale machine learning inference with ECC memory protection and NVLink clustering for multi-GPU synchronization
  • Professional visualization and CAD rendering leveraging RT Cores and OpenGL/Vulkan API support in virtualized environments
  • Mixed-precision scientific computing exploiting FP32, BF16, and INT8 precision across physics simulations and financial modeling
  • Multi-tenant GPU sharing via NVIDIA vGPU for isolated workload tenancy within HPE ProLiant systems
  • High-bandwidth data processing pipelines benefiting from 696 GB/s memory throughput in analytics and ETL workflows

Frequently Asked Questions about HPE NVIDIA A40 48GB PCIe GPU Accelerator

What server platforms accept the HPE NVIDIA A40 48GB PCIe GPU Accelerator?

Reference servers include Dell PowerEdge XE9680 / XE9712, HPE Cray XD670, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR685a / SR675 V3, Supermicro AS-A21GE / SYS-821GE, Gigabyte G593 / G894, ASUS ESC. Share your target platform in the RFQ and we will confirm chassis-to-GPU compatibility and recommended NIC pairing.

How long is the lead time on AI GPUs?

Highly model-dependent. L40S / RTX-class: typically 3-6 weeks. H100/H200/B200 in SXM form factor: 12-16 weeks for whole-platform allocations. We quote genuine-channel ETAs only — no grey-market promises.

Do you supply matched networking (Quantum InfiniBand / Spectrum-X)?

Yes — Omnixon stocks the full NVIDIA networking lineup (Quantum-2 / Quantum-X InfiniBand, Spectrum-X Ethernet, ConnectX NICs, BlueField DPUs) so we can quote a complete training-cluster BOM, not just the GPUs.

Can you help with NVIDIA AI Enterprise licensing?

Yes. We hold genuine-channels for NVIDIA AI Enterprise software subscriptions. Add it to your RFQ and we quote node-aligned licensing along with the hardware.
