Dear Dave and Jim,
I don’t have access to an H100 but have got 8 4090’s and the required change to the configuration files are very limited, basically allowing for the detection and use of cuda11.8 compilers, plus you need the most up to date drivers on your machine, I am running 520.56.06.
I ran Ross’s benchmarks and get the same numbers for the 4090’s give or take slight noise as you’d expect. They really fly on large system sizes our 1.5M atom system goes 2.2 faster than on 3090’s. Another observation is that they run significantly cooler than the 3090’s, this could be due to their large size, more surface area to get effective cooling over. Here is a screenshot of one of our machines with 2x 4090’s at full throttle.

As Ross said in his original post on the 4090’s you can only sensibly get 2 of them in a case, they are large and take 3.5 slots plus you need 4 PCIE cables per card. The UK fortunately has 240 volt/ 13 Amp AC so these do not strain our normal sockets and power circuits.
Cheers,
Ian

Pricing estimates were in the original email (below). The "managed to get
Amber up and running" comment suggests that some changes were needed to the
configuration scripts.
