Different Architectures of NVidia GPUs


Logo of Nvidia
In today's blog, we will be discussing the different types of architecture(current) of the NVidia GPUs. You might have noticed some terms like Pascal, Turing and Ampere. These are the three types of architecture in which NVidia Graphics Card works.

Pascal Architecture:

Pascal is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2016. This architecture is primarily used in the GeForce 10 Series starting with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, which were released on May 17, 2016, and June 10, 2016, respectively. The architecture was named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. This architecture has 64-128 CUDA cores, a memory bandwidth of 720GiB/s, and NVlink. They also announced the RayTracing support for Pascal Architecture in 2019 after a driver update,


Turing Architecture

Turing Architecture:

Turing is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2018. This architecture was primarily used by RTX 20 Series. This architecture followed the same naming convention as before. This architecture was named after the computer scientist Alan Turing. This architecture introduced RayTracing Technology - an efficient way to calculate many light rays. In February 2019, NVidia released GTX 16 series with Turing Architecture, but it lacked CUDA cores when compared to other RTX GPUs. It uses RT cores  Tensor(AI) cores to calculate lighting besides CUDA. 


Ampere Architecture:

.Ampere Architecture ImageWe have already talked about this in our previous blogs. Please do check that too. This Ampere Technology was recently introduced in September. This architecture has twice Tensor Cores and RT cores than its predecessor Turing. This architecture was developed with Samsung. This architecture was named after the French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampère

Discovery of the closest asteroid by IIT Bombay students.

On  August 16 2020 ,  An asteroid sized 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 feet) was found just 2950 km above the Earth's surface! The astonishing discovery was recorded by the students of IIT Bombay and Taiwan.   Helping make a discovery like this, so early in my research project, is beyond what I had ever imagined   -Sharma,  a third-year student of mechanical engineering at IIT-B. Named  2020QG,  the closest asteroid ever to be found near Earth without impacting it became an early success for the students. The discovers Kunal Deshmukh and Kritti Sharma and Chen-Yen Hsu at National Central University in Taiwan are a part of an international team seeking out Near-Earth Asteroids.          This is the first image of Asteroid 2020 QG, captured by Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) after the asteroid's closest approach to Earth at a distance of 1,830 miles above the planet...

The 11th generation of Intel Processors "TIGER LAKE" announced

Intel has recently announced their 11th gen processors code name "Tiger Lake" on September 2, 2020. They have also integrated Intel Iris as their GPU. They announced many features and specifications of the CPU in a tweet. We will now look at the features and what the 11th gen processors are capable of in-depth. This new generation processor is built with a 10nm chipset, also called SuperFin by Intel Tiger Lake. The new generation offers 2.7x faster content creation, 20% office productivity, and more than 2x faster gaming with the help of the Iris Graphics. Intel also provides Thunderbolt 4 support, Wifi 6, and PCIe-4 support. Intel provides 4 cores and 8 threads with Overclocking support up to 4.8 GHz. Iris Graphics Card would support consistent gaming on FHD while streaming. They have also announced the Intel Evo platform bran which is based on the 11th gen processors. Many laptop manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, Dynabook, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Razer, Sa...

HTML & CSS by John Duckett: Review

If you are passionate about coding and web development, you might know that HTML & CSS are the initial and vital language. You might have a guide and introduction to it on our website. But the most famous one is a book by John Duckett. HTML & CSS by John Duckett  is an outstanding beginner book. Unlike other coding books, this one isinteractive and clean. Each page of the books has an elegant design. The teachings are present on the left side, and the code snippets on the right. You can also find the code source on  their website . It also has codes relevant to HTML5 and CSS3, which are the newest versions of the languages. It is my first coding book, and I am so grateful for that. John Duckett also wrote a Javascript & jQuery book , which is like a sequel for this one.  You can buy it on Amazon by clicking below!
