Attribute

NVIDIA GPU

Intel mic

Single-core

Stream processor/Cuda Core

Each core runs a thread.

X86 Core

Each core supports up to four hardware threads.

Clock speed

Close to 1 GHz

1.0-1.1 GHz

Number of cores

Dozens to thousands

57-61

Degree of Parallelism

Multi-Level Parallel Processing of grid, block, and thread

Fine-grained parallelism (number of threads> Number of cores)

The thread overhead is 0.

Thread + Vectoring

Number of threads <= (cores-1) * 4

Vectorized width 512bit (single precision: 16, double precision: 8)

Memory size (GB)

Up to 12 GB

6/8/16 GB

Memory bandwidth

288 Gb/s

240-352 Gb/s

Data Access Requirements

The data accessed by threads in the warp is continuously optimal.

The data accessed in the thread is continuous. If vectorized, it is the best continuous data access.

Peak Performance

Single precision: up to 4.29 tflops

Dual precision: up to 1.43 tflops

Calculation method: Command throughput * Number of computing units * Frequency

Precision: 2.0-2.2 tflops

Dual precision: 1.0-1.1 tflops

Sample DP calculation: 16 DP flops/clock/Core * 61 cores * 1.1 GHz = 1073.6 gflop/s

Programming Language

Cuda, opencl, and openacc

OpenMP, opencl, cilk, and openacc

Programming Mode

Offload

Offload, native, and distributed ric

Power Consumption

235 million

225-300 W

Bandwidth PCI-E

2.0 (8 Gb/s for each two-way operation)

3.0 (16 Gb/s each in two directions)

2.0 (8 Gb/s for each two-way operation)

Currently, 3.0 is not supported.

Operating Platform

PC, server, workstation

You can configure a geforce card on the PC to run Cuda at a low cost and high performance.

Server

Relatively professional with high costs and few configurations for individuals

Product

Geforce: several hundred to several thousand yuan, used on the PC (current mainstream GTX710-780)

Tesla: 1 w-3w yuan, used on servers (currently mainstream k20, k40)

Quadro: tens of thousands of RMB, used on workstation (currently mainstream Quadro k4100m, Quadro k3100m, Quadro k2100m, Quadro k610m)

Knc: About 1 w-2w

Current mainstream 7110 P, 5110 P, 3110 P

Supported Operating Systems

Windows: XP, win7, Win8

Linux x86: fedora, opensuse, RHEL/centos, sles, steamos, Ubuntu, etc.

Linux arm: Ubuntu

Mac OSX

Windows: Windows 8 server, win 7, win 8

Linux: redhat6.0 and above, Suse sles11 and above

Built-in OS on the card

None

Built-in UOS with independent IP addresses
