NVIDIA unveils Next Generation CUDA GPU Architecture – Codenamed ‘Fermi’

Technology.am(Oct. 2, 2009) — NVIDIA Corp. alien its abutting bearing CUDA GPU architecture, codenamed “Fermi”.

Nvidia_LogoAn absolutely fresh ground-up design, the “Fermi” architectonics is the foundation for the world’s aboriginal computational cartoon processing units (GPUs), carrying breakthroughs in both cartoon and GPU computing.

NVIDIA appear affairs for a fresh supercomputer that will use NVIDIA GPUs based on the “Fermi” architecture.

“Fermi” additionally garnered the abutment of arch organizations including Bloomberg, Cray, Dell, HP, IBM and Microsoft.

As the foundation for NVIDIA’s ancestors of abutting bearing GPUs namely GeForce, Quadro and Tesla − “Fermi” appearance a host of fresh technologies that are “must-have” appearance for the accretion space, including:

• C++, complementing absolute abutment for C, Fortran, Java, Python, OpenCL and DirectCompute.

• ECC, a analytical claim for datacenters and supercomputing centers deploying GPUs on a ample scale

• 512 CUDA Cores featuring the fresh IE
