NVIDIA launches Fermi next-gen GPGPU architecture, CUDA and OpenCL get even faster
Posted in: NVIDIA, Today's Chili
NVIDIA had told us it would be accelerating its CUDA program to try and get an advantage over its competitors as OpenCL brings general-purpose GPU computing to the mainstream, and it looks like that effort’s paying off — the company just announced its new Fermi CUDA architecture, which will also serve as the foundation of its next-gen GeForce and Quadro products. The new features are all pretty technical — the world’s first true cache hierarchy in a GPU, anyone? — but the big takeaway is that CUDA and OpenCl should run even faster on this new silicon, and that’s never a bad thing. Hit up the read links for the nitty-gritty, if that’s what gets you going.
