Microsoft said that Visual Studio coders involved in artificial intelligence projects can now take advantage of the new Azure virtual machines (VMs) equipped with 80 GB NVIDIA GPUs, which immediately occupy four places on the TOP500 supercomputer list.

The company claimed to have "the fastest public cloud supercomputer" when it announced its scale-out NVIDIA A100 GPU cluster in June.

On the basis of these examples, Microsoft announced last week the new NDm A100 v4 series of virtual machines, which are equipped with NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core 80 GB GPUs. The company said this expands Azure's leading AI supercomputing in the public cloud. Scalability in TOP500, while also occupying four official positions in the TOP500 supercomputing list.

The company positions the new high-memory NDm A100 v4 series to bring AI/supercomputer capabilities to the masses, giving organizations the opportunity to use them to gain a competitive advantage. This is done with the help of a first-class design, which has the following characteristics:

"We are living in the era of large-scale artificial intelligence models, and the demand for large-scale computing is increasing," said Sherry Wang, Azure HPC and artificial intelligence senior project manager. "The original ND A100 v4 series uses NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, each GPU is equipped with 40 GB of HBM2 video memory. The new NDm A100 v4 series doubles the video memory to 80 GB, while the GPU memory bandwidth is increased by 30%, which can meet today's data The most intensive demand workload. RAM available for virtual machines has also increased to 1,900 GB per VM-allowing customers with large data sets and models to increase memory capacity proportionally to support novel data management techniques and faster checkpoints Wait."

The monthly regular updates of Visual Studio Code (November 2021, v1.63) allow developers to preview themes before using them, improve notebook features and provide new Java popular experiences, and more.

GitHub is inviting developers to participate in a technical preview of improved code search, which it describes as a Linux command-line search utility "not just grep."

Here is the latest news about what is known as the world's number one development tool: Visual Studio Code.

Visual Studio 2022 debuted only a month ago, and now there are dozens of new extensions specifically for the revolutionary 64-bit IDE.
