No Virtualization Tax for MLPerf Inference 3.0 Using NVIDIA Hopper and Ampere vGPUs and NVIDIA AI Software with vSphere 8.0 U1

In this blog, we show the MLPerf Inference v3.0 test results for the VMware vSphere virtualization platform with NVIDIA H100 and A100-based vGPUs. Our tests show that when NVIDIA vGPUs are used in vSphere, the workload performance is the same as or better than it is when run on a bare metal system.
