AMD Instinct is AMD's brand of data center GPUs. [1] [2] It replaced AMD's FirePro S brand in 2016.Compared to the Radeon brand of mainstream consumer/gamer products, the Instinct product line is intended to accelerate deep learning, artificial neural network, and high-performance computing/GPGPU applications.
Cards from such vendors differ on implementing data-format support, such as integer and floating-point formats (32-bit and 64-bit). Microsoft introduced a Shader Model standard, to help rank the various features of graphic cards into a simple Shader Model version number (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc.).
ROCm is free, libre and open-source software (except the GPU firmware blobs [4]), and it is distributed under various licenses. ROCm initially stood for Radeon Open Compute platfor m ; however, due to Open Compute being a registered trademark, ROCm is no longer an acronym — it is simply AMD's open-source stack designed for GPU compute.
oneAPI is an open standard, adopted by Intel, [1] for a unified application programming interface (API) intended to be used across different computing accelerator (coprocessor) architectures, including GPUs, AI accelerators and field-programmable gate arrays. It is intended to eliminate the need for developers to maintain separate code bases ...
The Skia Graphics Engine or Skia is an open-source 2D graphics library written in C++. Skia abstracts away platform-specific graphics APIs (which differ from one to another). [ 1 ] Skia Inc. originally developed the library; Google acquired it in 2005, [ 2 ] and then released the software as open source licensed under the New BSD free software ...
RIVA TNT2 VANTA GPU Die shot of the RIVA TNT2 GPU. The TNT2 core features the same basic dual-pipeline layout as the RIVA TNT, however with a few updates, such as larger 2048x2048 texture support, 32-bit Z-buffer/stencil support, AGP 4X support, up to 32MB of VRAM, and a process shrink from 0.35 μm to 0.25 μm. It was the process shrink that ...
An AI accelerator, deep learning processor or neural processing unit (NPU) is a class of specialized hardware accelerator [1] or computer system [2] [3] designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications, including artificial neural networks and computer vision.
Blackwell is a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture developed by Nvidia as the successor to the Hopper and Ada Lovelace microarchitectures.. Named after statistician and mathematician David Blackwell, the name of the Blackwell architecture was leaked in 2022 with the B40 and B100 accelerators being confirmed in October 2023 with an official Nvidia roadmap shown during an investors ...
