#TESLA P100 FP64 UPGRADE#

'The upgrade of 4,500 GPU-accelerated nodes on Piz Daint to Tesla P100 GPUs will more than double the system's performance, enabling researchers to achieve breakthroughs in a range of fields, including cosmology, materials science, seismology and climatology.' via NVIDIA NVIDIA Volta Tesla V100S Specs: NVIDIA Tesla Graphics Card 'Tesla P100 accelerators deliver new levels of performance and efficiency to address some of the most important computational challenges of our time,' said Thomas Schulthess, professor of computational physics at ETH Zurich and director of the Swiss National Supercomputing Center. The Tesla P100 has three variants, two PCI-Express optimized and a single NVLINK optimized. The cards will use the PCI-Express interconnect (32 GB/s) for simultaneous connection between multiple GPUs. These 16 GB variant comes with total bandwidth of 720 GB/s while the 12 GB HBM2 variant comes with 540 GB/s bandwidth. Both cards deliver 4.7 TFLOPs double, 9.3 TFLOPs single and 18.7 TFLOPs mixed precision compute performance.

These cards have TDP set to 250W so we are looking at slightly lower clock speeds than the NVLINK optimized variant. The PCI-Express optimized variants are optimized for lower clocks. The NVLINK variants come with 16 GB of HBM2 VRAM that delivers up to 720 GB/s bandwidth while NVLINK interconnect adds 60 GB/s bandwidth in addition to the 32 GB/s from the PCI-Express interconnect. In the case of Tesla P100 solution that has been optimized for NVLINK capable servers, we are looking at 5.3 TFLOPs of double precision, 10.6 TFLOPs of single precision and 21.2 TFLOPs of half precision compute performance. The 16nm FinFET architecture allows maximum throughput of performance and clock rate. There are 32 FP64 cores per block and the whole GPU has 1792 dedicated FP64 cores. The chip comes with dedicated set of FP64 CUDA Cores.

The Tesla P100 has 56 of these blocks enabled while the full GP100 has 60 blocks in total. NVIDIA has redesigned their SMs (Streaming Multiprocessor) units and rearranged them to support 64 CUDA cores per SM block. The full Pascal GP100 chip features up 3840 CUDA Cores. Starting off, we have a 16nm Pascal chip that measures in at 610mm2, features 15.3 Billion transistors and comes with 3584 CUDA cores. NVIDIA has spend the last several years in the development of the new GPU and it will finally be shipping in June 2016 to supercomputers. The GP100 GPU which utilizes the Pascal architecture is at the heart of the Tesla P100 accelerator.

It is based on an entirely new, 5th Generation CUDA architecture codenamed Pascal. NVIDIA’s Tesla P100 is the most fastest supercomputing chip in the world. Dramatically scaling performance with fewer, more powerful Tesla P100-powered nodes puts more dollars into computing instead of vast infrastructure overhead.' via NVIDIA NVIDIA Tesla P100 Specifications in detail - PCI-E and NVLINK Variants in Comparison 'Deploying CPU-only systems to meet this demand would require large numbers of commodity compute nodes, leading to substantially increased costs without proportional performance gains. 'Accelerated computing is the only path forward to keep up with researchers' insatiable demand for HPC and AI supercomputing,' said Ian Buck, vice president of accelerated computing at NVIDIA. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU is now available in PCI-Express form factor with multiple TFLOPs of dual precision. Both cards are optimized to power the most computationally intensive AI and HPC data center applications. The new PCI-Express solutions are designed for the datacenter and HPC market to make them compatible with current GPU accelerated servers as the previous Tesla P100 used a mezzanine connector which required the utilization of new servers. These GPUs are designed to supercharge HPC applications by more than 30X compared to current generation solutions. NVIDIA Tesla P100 To Be Available in PCI-Express Form Factor - 12 GB and 16 GB HBM2 Variants Announcedīased on the GP100 GPU, the Tesla P100 is NVIDIA's most advanced and most powerful GPU ever designed for HPC and Datacenter platforms.

The NVIDIA Tesla P100 is the most advanced hyper scale graphics accelerator built to date. Today, NVIDIA is introducing two new products to their Tesla P100 family. NVIDIA has just announced that they will be launching a PCI Express based version of their Tesla P100 GPU accelerator which is designed for hyper scale computing. The Tesla P100 which utilizes the GP100 GPU was initially announced back at GTC 2016 as the first graphics board to utilize HBM2 standard and NVLINK inter connect from NVIDIA.
