The Sphere in Las Vegas, popularly known for its globe shape and LED displays that cover 750,000 sq ft (69,677 sqm) inside and out is reportedly powered by 150 of Nvidia's RTX A6000 GPUs with each having a 48GB memory and maximum power consumption of 300W.
“Sphere is captivating audiences not only in Las Vegas, but also around the world on social media, with immersive LED content delivered at a scale and clarity that has never been done before,” said Alex Luthwaite, senior vice president of show systems technology at Sphere Entertainment. “This would not be possible without the expertise and innovation of companies such as Nvidia that are critical to helping power our vision, working closely with our team to redefine what is possible with cutting-edge display technology."
“The integration of Nvidia RTX GPUs, BlueField DPUs, and Rivermax software creates a powerful trifecta of advantages for modern accelerated computing, supporting the unique high-resolution video streams and strict timing requirements needed at Sphere and setting a new standard for media processing capabilities,” said Nir Nitzani, senior product director for networking software at NVIDIA. “This collaboration results in remarkable performance gains, culminating in the extraordinary experiences guests have at Sphere.”
