Nvidia and AMD battle with multi-teraflop GPUs
From
The Maximus platform, introduced in November, gives workstation users the ability to simultaneously perform complex analysis and visualization on a single machine. Now supported by Kepler-based GPUs, Maximus delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency to professionals in fields as varied as manufacturing, visual effects and oil exploration.
Second generation NVIDIA Maximus-powered desktop workstations featuring the new NVIDIA Quadro K5000 ($2,249 MSRP, USD) plus the new NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU ($3,199 MSRP, USD) will be available starting in December 2012. The NVIDIA Quadro K5000 will be available as a separate discrete desktop GPU starting in October 2012.
The first Quadro workstation graphics card based on the Kepler K10 GPU was shown at the SIGGRAPH trade show. The K5000 card has one Kepler K10 GPU, which has 1,536 CUDA cores and which delivers 2.1 teraflops of single-precision floating point math.
Comprised of 7.1 billion transistors, the Kepler GK110 GPU is an engineering marvel created to address the most daunting challenges in HPC. Hyper-Q is a flexible solution that allows connections for both CUDA streams and Message Passing Interface (MPI) processes, or even threads from within a process. Existing applications that were previously limited by false dependencies can see up to a 32x performance increase without changing any existing code.
