One GPU for AI, Rendering & Video

The L40S pairs FP8 Tensor Cores for AI with RT Cores for graphics: 384 GB of GPU memory in one server

LLM Inference

Serve 70B-class models across eight GPUs with vLLM or TensorRT-LLM. FP8 halves the memory taken by weights and KV cache compared with FP16.

Fine-Tuning

LoRA and QLoRA fine-tunes of models up to 70B parameters, and full fine-tunes of smaller ones, with PyTorch, DeepSpeed and NVIDIA NeMo.

Generative Images & Video

Stable Diffusion, Flux and video-generation models in ComfyUI, with 48 GB per card for large checkpoints and high resolutions.

3D Rendering

142 third-generation RT Cores per GPU for Blender Cycles, V-Ray, Redshift and Octane, and for NVIDIA Omniverse scenes.

Video Processing

Hardware AV1, HEVC and H.264 encoding and decoding on NVENC/NVDEC for transcoding, streaming and video analytics.

Data Analytics

768 GB of system RAM and 48 Xeon cores feed RAPIDS, cuDF and XGBoost pipelines and large embedding jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will my server be provisioned?
Your server is provisioned within 1 business day of placing your order. A configuration that is busy shows the date it is available from in the pricing table.
How much GPU memory does the L40S have?
Each NVIDIA L40S carries 48 GB of GDDR6 with ECC and 864 GB/s of bandwidth, so the server has 384 GB of GPU memory in total. That serves a 70B-parameter model in FP16 across the eight GPUs, or a separate 7B–13B model on each card.
How does the L40S compare with the A100?
The L40S supports FP8 through its Transformer Engine, which the A100 lacks, offers several times the A100's FP32 throughput (91.6 against 19.5 TFLOPS) and adds RT Cores for graphics. The A100 has faster HBM memory and much stronger FP64, so it remains the better fit for double-precision HPC. For inference, fine-tuning and generative AI the L40S is the more versatile card.
Is there NVLink between the GPUs?
No. The L40S does not support NVLink, so the eight GPUs communicate over PCIe. Tensor parallelism in vLLM and data-parallel training with PyTorch DDP or DeepSpeed work over PCIe.
Which CPU, RAM and storage ship with the server?
Two Intel Xeon Gold 6248R processors (24 cores / 48 threads each), 768 GB of system RAM and 2000 GB of NVMe storage.
Are there any setup fees?
No. There are zero setup fees for any rental period — daily, weekly, or monthly. You only pay the rental price listed. All prices are exclusive of VAT.
Which operating systems are supported?
L40S servers ship with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2022. Custom OS installations are available on request and require 1 business day. All servers come with root or administrator access so you have full control over the software stack.
Where are the servers located?
Our servers are hosted in Tier 3 compliant data rooms in the Netherlands, upheld to ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 standards, with peering via AMS-IX and NL-ix for excellent European and global connectivity.
