NVIDIA unveils family of Tesla GPUs built on Kepler GPU architectureJun 06, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- NVIDIA, which is engaged in creating the graphics chips used in personal computers, has unveiled a new family of Tesla GPUs based on the NVIDIA Kepler GPU computing architecture, which makes GPU-accelerated computing more accessible for a broader range of high performance computing, or HPC, scientific and technical applications. The new NVIDIA Tesla K10 and K20 GPUs are computing accelerators built to handle complex HPC problems. Designed with focus on high performance and extreme power efficiency, Kepler is reportedly three times as efficient as its predecessor, the NVIDIA Fermi architecture, which itself established a new standard for parallel computing when introduced two years ago, the company said. "Fermi was a major step forward in computing," said Bill Dally, chief scientist and senior vice president of research at NVIDIA. "It established GPU-accelerated computing in the top tier of high performance computing and attracted hundreds of thousands of developers to the GPU computing platform. Kepler will be equally disruptive, establishing GPUs broadly into technical computing, due to their ease of use, broad applicability and efficiency." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
