Ampere is the codename for a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture developed by Nvidia as the successor to both the Volta and Turing architectures. It was officially announced on May 14, 2020 and is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampère .
Turing is the codename for a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture developed by Nvidia. It is named after the prominent mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing . The architecture was first introduced in August 2018 at SIGGRAPH 2018 in the workstation-oriented Quadro RTX cards, [ 2 ] and one week later at Gamescom in consumer ...
Named for computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper, the Hopper architecture was leaked in November 2019 and officially revealed in March 2022. It improves upon its predecessors, the Turing and Ampere microarchitectures, featuring a new streaming multiprocessor, a faster memory subsystem, and a transformer acceleration ...
This is a list of eponyms of Nvidia GPU microarchitectures.The eponym in this case is the person after whom an architecture is named. Listed are the person, their portrait, their profession or areas of expertise, their birth year, their death year, their country of origin, the microarchitecture named after them, and the year of release of the GPU architecture.
The previous generation Ampere architecture used Samsung's 8nm-based 8N process node from 2018, which was two years old by the time of Ampere's launch. [ 17 ] [ 18 ] The AD102 die with its 76.3 billion transistors has a transistor density of 125.5 million per mm 2 , a 178% increase in density from GA102's 45.1 million per mm 2 .
The most recent example of that is the Ampere architecture: 8.0 and 8.6. Ada Lovelace and Hopper are two different architectures introduced at the same time, and yet the former was 8.9 (SM89), and the latter was 9.0 (SM90). Another counterexample of two different architectures having the same major version is Volta (7.0) vs Turing (7.5).
With RDNA, AMD sought to reduce latency and improve power efficiency over their previous Vega series based on GCN 5th gen and Nvidia's competing Turing microarchitecture. [1] RDNA 2 was first publicly announced in January 2020 with AMD initially calling RDNA 2 a "refresh" of the original RDNA architecture from the previous year. [2]
Painting of Blaise Pascal, eponym of architecture. Pascal is the codename for a GPU microarchitecture developed by Nvidia, as the successor to the Maxwell architecture. The architecture was first introduced in April 2016 with the release of the Tesla P100 (GP100) on April 5, 2016, and is primarily used in the GeForce 10 series, starting with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 (both using the ...
