In September last year, the MSG Sphere entertainment center was opened in Las Vegas. As the name suggests, it is shaped like a sphere, inside which is an LED screen with a declared resolution of 16Kx16K, and on the surface there are 1.2 million LED modules with 48 LEDs in each. All this requires serious computing equipment, which was supplied by Nvidia.
The “green” chipmaker boasted that the giant screens are powered by 150 professional RTX A6000 video cards. One such accelerator offers 10,752 Ampere-generation CUDA cores and 48 GB of GDDR6 memory. The system also uses Nvidia BlueField DPUs and ConnectX-6 Dx adapters along with DOCA Firefly Service and Rivermax software for streaming content. By the way, the content for “Sphere” itself is created by a separate studio in California, and then broadcast to Las Vegas.
The total cost of building the MSG Sphere was $2.3 billion.
