A new Nvidia likes math
Good news for all of you GPGPU lovers. The next generation
Nvidia will support Cuda 2 and should be even better for these science
calculations. CUDA in south Slavic languages would mean plural of a miracle, and
this is actually what Nvidia is all about.
The brand new G100 chip will support Cuda 2. It took us a while
to learn what Cuda stands for. It is an acronym for "compute unified device architecture". It
obviously uses Unified Shaders for its mathematical calculations . This
is a new way to do the science super computer calculations and obviously a graphics
chip is much faster than a CPU.
We don’t know what is the new thing that Cuda 2 brings, but
Nvidia's G100 will support it. It is still scheduled for Q1 2008 and it might
be even smaller than 65 nanometre.
