Most (90%) of a stream processor's work is done on-chip, requiring only 1% of the global data to be stored to memory. This is where knowing the kernel temporaries and dependencies pays. Internally, a stream processor features some clever communication and management circuits but what's interesting is the Stream Register File (SRF). This is ...
In computing, CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a proprietary [2] parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing units (GPUs) for accelerated general-purpose processing, an approach called general-purpose computing on GPUs.
Intel Xeon processors dominated the multiprocessor market for business PCs and were the only major x86 option until the release of AMD's Opteron range of processors in 2004. Both ranges of processors had their own onboard cache but provided access to shared memory; the Xeon processors via a common pipe and the Opteron processors via independent ...
The Nvidia Hopper H100 GPU is implemented using the TSMC N4 process with 80 billion transistors. It consists of up to 144 streaming multiprocessors. [1] Due to the increased memory bandwidth provided by the SXM5 socket, the Nvidia Hopper H100 offers better performance when used in an SXM5 configuration than in the typical PCIe socket.
A multi-core processor (MCP) is a microprocessor on a single integrated circuit (IC) with two or more separate central processing units (CPUs), called cores to emphasize their multiplicity (for example, dual-core or quad-core).
Diagram of a symmetric multiprocessing system. Symmetric multiprocessing or shared-memory multiprocessing [1] (SMP) involves a multiprocessor computer hardware and software architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single, shared main memory, have full access to all input and output devices, and are controlled by a single operating system instance that treats all ...
CUDA operates on a heterogeneous programming model which is used to run host device application programs. It has an execution model that is similar to OpenCL. In this model, we start executing an application on the host device which is usually a CPU core. The device is a throughput oriented device, i.e., a GPU core which performs parallel ...
A multiprocessor system is defined as "a system with more than one processor", and, more precisely, "a number of central processing units linked together to enable parallel processing to take place". [1] [2] [3] The key objective of a multiprocessor is to boost a system's execution speed. The other objectives are fault tolerance and application ...
