NVIDIA Unveils GPU Accelerators for Deep Learning AI
NVIDIA unveiled its most advanced accelerator to date — the Tesla P100 — based on Pascal architecture and composed of an array of Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), and memory controllers. The Tesla P100, which is implemented in 16nm FinFET on a massive 610mm2die, enables a new class of servers that can deliver the performance of hundreds of CPU server nodes. NVIDIA said its accelerator brings five breakthroughs: NVIDIA…
