This meant that the chip was going to stay away from HPC markets while NVIDIA offered their year old Kepler based cards as the only Tesla based options. Maxwell, although great in all regards was deprived of necessary FP64 hardware and focused only on FP32 performance. Pascal allows more than just that, it is capable of FP16, FP32 and FP64 compute and we have just learned the peak compute performance of Pascal in double precision workloads. With Pascal GPU, NVIDIA will return to the HPC market with new Tesla products. Features NVLink and support for Mixed Precision FP16 compute tasks at twice the rate of FP32 and full FP64 support. 2016 release.īack at GTC 2015, NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang talked about mixed precision which allows users to get twice the compute performance in FP16 workloads compared to FP32 by computing at 16-bit with twice the accuracy of FP32.Will feature four 4-Hi HBM2 stacks, for a total of 16GB of VRAM for the consumer variant and 32GB for the professional variant.Allegedly has a total of 17 billion transistors, more than twice that of GM200. ![]() Built on the 16FF+ manufacturing process from TSMC.Successor to the GM200 GPU found in the GTX Titan X and GTX 980 Ti.DirectX 12 feature level 12_1 or higher.What we know so far about the GP100 chip: (This quote was originally posted at BuisnessKorea however the article has since been removed due to confidential reasons). tech company selected the world’s largest foundry (TSMC) for product consistency. Since the two foundries have different manufacturing process of 16-nm FinFETs, the U.S. firm chose only the Taiwanese firm in the end. Some in the industry predicted that both Samsung and TSMC would mass produce the Pascal GPU, but the U.S. Nvidia decided to let TSMC mass produce the Pascal GPU, which is scheduled to be released next year, using the production process of 16-nm FinFETs. By leveraging the experience of 20SoC technology, TSMC 16FF+ shares the same metal backend process in order to quickly improve yield and demonstrate process maturity for time-to-market value. Comparing with 20SoC technology, 16FF+ provides extra 40% higher speed and 60% power saving. ![]() ![]() ![]() TSMC’s 16FF+ (FinFET Plus) technology can provide above 65 percent higher speed, around 2 times the density, or 70 percent less power than its 28HPM technology. This means that we can see a launch of these chips as early as 1H of 2016. Doubling of the transistor density would put Pascal to somewhere around 16-17 Billion transistors since Maxwell GPUs already feature 8 Billion transistors on the flagship GM200 GPU core. Now this might not be a significant bit as it has been known for months and we know that NVIDIA’s Pascal GP100 chip has already been taped out on TSMC’s 16nm FinFET process. NVIDIA revealed or should we say, finally confirmed during their SC15 conference that the chip is based on a 16nm FinFET process, NVIDIA didn't reveal they name of the Semiconductor Foundry but it was confirmed that TSMC would be supplying the new GPUs. NVIDIA's Pascal and Volta GPUs Peak Compute Performance Revealed - Volta To Push Memory Bandwidth To 1.2 TB/sįor some time now, we have been hearing that NVIDIA's next generation Pascal GPUs will be based on a 16nm process. The details confirm the rumors which we have been hearing since a few months that Pascal might be coming in market earlier next year. The information includes details regarding process design, peak compute performance and even shared the same numbers for their Volta GPUs which are expected to hit the market in 2018 (2017 for HPC). At this year's SC15, NVIDIA revealed and confirmed two major bits about their next generation Pascal GPUs.
