This article provides in-depth details of the NVIDIA Tesla P-series GPU accelerators (codenamed “Pascal”). “Pascal” GPUs improve upon the previous-generation “Kepler”, and “Maxwell” architectures. Pascal GPUs were announced at GTC 2016 and began shipping in September 2016.…
NVIDIA has announced a new version of their popular Tesla M40 GPU – one with 24GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory. The name hasn’t really changed – the new GPU is named NVIDIA Tesla M40 24GB. If you…
Comprised of a set of compiler directives, OpenACC was created to accelerate code using the many streaming multiprocessors (SM) present on a GPU. Similar to how OpenMP is used for accelerating code on multicore CPUs, OpenACC can…
This article provides in-depth details of the NVIDIA Tesla M-series GPU accelerators (codenamed “Maxwell”). “Maxwell” GPUs improve upon the previous-generation “Kepler” architecture, although they do not necessarily replace all “Kepler” models. Important changes available in the “Maxwell”…
With the release of Tesla M40, NVIDIA continues to diversify its professional compute GPU lineup. Designed specifically for Deep Learning applications, the M40 provides 7 TFLOPS of single-precision floating point performance and 12GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory.…
Here we will explore how to use the Theano and Keras Python frameworks for designing neural networks in order to accomplish specific classification tasks.In the process, we will see how Keras offers a great amount of leverage…
In this Caffe deep learning tutorial, we will show how to use DIGITS in order to train a classifier on a small image set. Along the way, we’ll see how to adjust certain run-time parameters, such as…
NVIDIA has once again raised the bar on GPU computing with the release of the new Tesla K80 GPU accelerator. With up to 8.74 TFLOPS of single-precision performance with GPU Boost, the Tesla K80 has massive capability…
We know that many of our readers are interested in seeing how molecular dynamics applications perform with GPUs, so we are continuing to highlight various packages. This time we will be looking at GROMACS, a well-established and free-to-use…
MATLAB is a well-known and widely-used application – and for good reason. It functions as a powerful, yet easy-to-use, platform for technical computing. With support for a variety of parallel execution methods, MATLAB also performs well. Support…
