http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-specs/ It looks like on the surface these cards are going to be twice as fast as their predecessors, while using a little less power. But here is the catch, how much bigger is the WDDM lag going to be? Also, on high CPU dependent WUs like the GERARD A2ARs, how much bigger is that lag going to be? I guess, you have to take the good with the bad. | |

It looks like on the surface these cards are going to be twice as fast as their predecessors, while using a little less power. Based on those specs I would guess a performance boost of around 45% but in terms of performance/Watt it could be around 2.2times better. But here is the catch, how much bigger is the WDDM lag going to be? There might be a lot of catches and things we don't know about yet. For example the acemd apps performance might not scale well on these high density cards. That's already the case with the GTX Titan X and GTX980Ti (to a lesser extent). The 7010 to 8000MHz DDR would reduce the Memory Controller Unit burden somewhat but probably not sufficiently to prevent a bottleneck in itself. The architecture might sort that out, or not... The memory bandwidth probably wouldn't be an issue with HBM2, but that seems to be limited to the supposed X80Titan, which might be a bit different in other ways too (double precision), and >>pricier. Also, on high CPU dependent WUs like the GERARD A2ARs, how much bigger is that lag going to be? Who knows what architectural advancements and cuda magic might reduce such CPU dependency? I guess, you have to take the good with the bad. I'm interested in what the NV-Link will bring to real world crunchers. The possibility of adding up to 8 GPU's via an NV-Link sounds like smallish devices might be great connected up, assuming the reliance on the CPU isn't as big. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help | |

http://www.gputechconf.com/ Keep an eye out during the week of April 3rd for real Pascal Information. At 2015 GTC (GM200) Titan X launched. Maybe the GPU-Z database reveals a real Pascal soon. Si Software benchmarking database a good place to find new GPU's. skgiven wrote: Who knows what architectural advancements and cuda magic might reduce such CPU dependency? A year and half ago in the "Maxwell now" thread I asked: Has dynamic parallelism (C.C 3.5/5.0/5.2) been introduced to ACEMD? Or Unified Memory from CUDA 6.0? Unified memory is a C.C 3.0+ feature. In you're opinion: how can GPUGRID occupied SM/SMX/SMM be further enhanced, and refined for generational (CUDA C.C) differences? Compatibility is important, as is finding the most efficient code path from CUDA programming. How can we further advance ACEMD? CUDA 5.0/PTX3.1~~~>6.5/4.1 provides new commands/instructions. GPUGRID developer Matt (MJH) replied: We have cc-specific optimisations for each of the most performance sensitive kernels. Generally don't use any of the features introduced post CUdA 4.2 though, nothing there we particularly need. One difference is Maxwell's L1 cache size 80kB per SMM (SM 5.0/5.2) while Kelper L1 16kB per SMX (SM 3.0/3.5) possibly configured up to 48kB per SMX. Maxwell L2 cache also larger than Kelper. (See Maxwell now thread for more info and CUDA toolkit. ) Pascal likely has a larger L1/L2 cache and more efficient instruction throughput as well more registers per SMP and per thread. If the DP ratio is 1/3 than upping an SMP might be back to Kelper's 192c SMX size. Pascal with a 1/3 DP to SP ratio a 6 [32c] blocks per (1) warp schedulers for each 32c block or maybe (3) 64c blocks per SMP with 2 warp schedulers per block could work. Maxwell's current 4 [32] blocks per SMM with One warp scheduler for each 32c block would only work with 1/2 or 1/4 and 1/8 DP to SP ratio. Some rumors are pointing to a 1/3 ---> 1/24 (consumer Geforce GPU) DP ratio Pascal design. Although it's also possible the Tesla or Titan is 1/2 or 1/4. Pascal could be 8 [32c] block with 8 warp schedulers per 256 core SMP - either 64/128DP cores per SMP at 8 or 16DP per 32c block. It possible a block can grow to 64c with 16 or 32DP in each block - 256c SMP with (4) 64c blocks. Pascal "SMP" possible configurations with 16 bit cores (without TMU/ROP counts): --- 256c SMP (4) 64c block - 8 warp schedulers - 2 warps per 64c block - 8/16/32 DP per block. 1/8 or 1/4 or 1/2 DP ratio. 32 bits cores (2x16bit) --- 256c SMP (8) 32c block - 8 warp schedulers - 1 warp per 32c block - 8 or 16DP cores per (32c) block at 1/4 or 1/2 SP to DP ratio --- 192 core SMP (6) 32c block - 16 DP core per 32c block for Tesla/Titans (96DP in an 192c SMP at 1/2 ratio) 1 warp scheduler per 32c block. --- 192c SMP (3) 64c block - 32DP per block - 96DP core per SMP - 1/3 DP to SP ratio. Consumer's GPU knocked down to 8DP core per 64c block. 2 warps per 64c block. --- 192c SMP with similar design as Kelper: 64 DP core per SMP with 32c block per warp. --- 192c SMP with (4) 48c blocks (superscalar) 16bit cores (128 or 256bit SIMD lane) and (32) 32bit cores per block - 12DP core per block - 1/3 DP ratio --- 128c SMP (2) 64 blocks and 2 warp schedulers per block - 16 or 32 DP cores per block - 1/4 or 1/2 DP ratio. Consumer's GPU's 8 DP cores per block. --- 128 SMP (4) 32 blocks and 1 warp scheduler per block - 8 or 16 DP cores per block - 1/4 or 1/2 P ratio. Consumers GPU's 4 DP per block.
http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html 7.5 CUDA has numerous updates. CUDA 8.0 even more so. I'm interested in what the NV-Link will bring to real world crunchers. The possibility of adding up to 8 GPU's via an NV-Link sounds like smallish devices might be great connected up, assuming the reliance on the CPU isn't as big. https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/how-nvlink-will-enable-faster-easier-multi-gpu-computing/ Nv-livk whitepaper available. NV-link (GPU >><< GPU) and (GPU >><< host) 5 to 12x more bandwidth than PCIe3.0. For IBM POWER8 and possible ARM CPU's they'll be CPU <<>> GPU <<>> GPU nvlivk while maybe (PCIe4.0?) Skylake Xeons get GPU <<>> GPU nvlink only. And maybe Kabylake i7/i5 also receive GPU <<>> GPU. Programs that require PCIe bandwidth can be issue with Maxwell. (Kelper not so much) A tip: run CUDA-Z without and with ACEMD processes and it will show the types of memory performance being affected. Until consumer nv-link is mainstream: Skylake z170 and upcoming Kabylake z200 series chipsets platform offer the highest consumer WDDM OS ACEMD performance. Linux and XP also see benefits with Skylake compared to Haswell or Ivy Bridge. Skylake CPU upgraded to DMI3 while Haswell/Ivy a DMI2 link. (doubling the bandwidth rate) PCIe/DMI clocks are also decoupled in Skylake with new (fclk) running 1 GHz or above. GPU runtimes with skylake chipsets are mostly faster with lower CPU times than Haswell. (Some risers have an area where a DIY PCIe 6pin can soldered) on a Powered 15pin with (3 12V pins) SATA to 4pin Molex riser Maxwell GTX750 GPU runtimes lose around 50% performance running on a x1 PCIe 2.0 compared to x4 PCIe 3.0. My (800MHz) 1.6GHz DDR3 64bit memory GT630 (384cores) secondary crunching GPU on the PCIe2.0 x1 slot > USB3.0 riser is around 30% slower than my 384 core GT650m GDDR5 128bit (1GHz/2GHz/4GHz) memory interface that's connected to PCIe2.0 x8. (My 970's show a 10% runtime difference with PCI3.0 x4 - vs. - x8 for certain WU.) A note about power consumption: Primegrid's Genefer opencl (4.3 PTX model) OCL3 and about to be released OCL4 puts an OCed 970 at 230W running n=21/22 WU. A n=20 WU will push be 210W with clocks at 1.4GHz or slightly above. Genefer uses the funnel shift instruction which is a C.C 3.5+ feature. Having more power phases on a GPU and motherboard help's keep electrical power and heat lower. I find this important if one's computer 24/7 for years at a time crunching. Both my GTX970's ran ACEMD at (5teraFLOPS) 1.5GHz core clock (145W to up 165W) - the Zotac 13 phase 970 consumes 8-15W less power on all ACEMD WU than an EVGA AVX2.0+ 3973 model with 8 phases when both GPU are on PCIe3.0 x8 or x4) WDDM isn't fully utilizing the ACEMD OC scaling. My current MB is an all digital 20 phase (a refub z87 MSI Mpower Max I picked up for 79$ last July) that use's less power on CPU than my former 16 phase z97 Mpower (also bought as a refub for 80$) by about 3-7W and around 10-14W than a 12 all digital phase ASUS board I tried out. If you're building a Multi GPU board - a top notch phase count will help with long-term power consumption as does a custom PCB GPU compared to reference design. A 1200W (platinum) PSU with 102 AMP single 12V rail also helps. | |

@NV-Link: it's meant for servers, so don't expect any benefit for crunchers anytime soon. | |

It’s now over 2years since the last Generation of NV GPU hit the streets. That was a successful launch within the entry level gaming GPU market and was followed up with similar mobile variants. 7 months later the high end cards (980 and 970) arrived - too long IMO. This time I'm expecting a similar but not identical approach; entry level to mid range gaming cards to appearing first, as that's the biggest market area and NV will want to flood it before AMD release their 14nm cards. Similar mobile cards to follow and some time later the bigger cards. I'm not really expecting a replacement for the GTX980 or GTX980Ti yet as the big card could be a GP Quadro, GTX1080Ti, GTX 10-Titan, or even a Tesla. That said, and going by lots of GPU pairs shipping, a dual mid-range card based on Pascal could well outperform high end GM GPU's such as the GTX980 and offer many an early upgrade route. I'm expecting enough enticement for GTX700 card holders to buy sooner, rather than later. Just releasing entry level cards wouldn't do that, but mid range cards should. Good chance Jen-Hsun Huang, NV’s CEO, will announce something GP when he speaks at the GPU Technology Conference on 5th April. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help | |

Not that I'm aware of. The GTX750Ti isn't SLI capable, so I doubt that a card would be built on GM107. Not being Sli capable probably improved the card's performance/Watt. Perhaps a dual GTX960 would be viable, but with GP so close I doubt anyone would want to build it. | |

That GP100 is the Tesla (or similar manifestation) which doesn't concern most crunchers. They will probably be subject to pre-contracts and ALL be going to data centres first (AKA Titan 3 years ago), then to OEM's (maybe in the form of Quadro's) and then possibly/eventually in the form of a GTX1080i to everyone else, if it makes sense in 2017 to do that. | |

I picked up a new Asus GTX 980 TI on Ebay for £450 free P&P. I figured that it would be a while before a competitor to come out and then for GPUGrid to make it work. | |

If your money's backing GP to be a late runner with poor odds of an early app appearance, £450 was a decent punt for an each way bet and a heads length better than sticking one on the nose at £520 so to speak. | |

This GP100 is intended for professional use. I don't think it will be ever released in a form of a GeForce card. It's a "replacement" for the GK110 (GTX Titan, Titan Black, Titan Z), as there was no such chip in the Maxwell product line. The lesser Pascal chips we are waiting for probably won't have that many DP units, NVlink and HBM2. The leaked specifications are surely inaccurate regarding the clocks, as it could be as high as of the GP100. By using 16nm technology theoretically it is possible to have 3 times as much components over the same area as using 28nm (28/16=1.75; 1.75^2=3.0625), but I don't think NVidia wants to produce that large chips for the gaming market (to achieve higher yields), so I expect physically smaller chips than the GP100 in the high-end segment of the gaming cards. Still they could be twice as fast as the GTX980Ti, which is pretty enough (depending on what AMD will have). The effect of the WDDM overhead could be even more deteriorating than on the present high-end cards, also maybe there won't be Windows XP drivers for the Pascal series at all, and in this case I will have to switch to Linux on some of my hosts. | |

There was a comment a while ago on the POEM forum that it was not clear whether the HBM2 stacked memory had the fine-grained address ability (if that is the term) required for optimum performance for their work. Whether that applies to GPUGrid I don't know, but I would not jump into the lake without checking for rocks first. | |

GEFORCE GTX 1080 ($599 MSRB) Available May 27: 7.2 billion transistors Last night's Pascal 1080 unveil demo was running at 2.1MHz on air - similar to Maxwell L2N cooled clocks. Pascal +2.1MHz boost will be Maxwell's 1.5GHz. (For 24/7 OC) Early adopters can help GPUGRID beta test a new ACEMD app - Count me in. Once general pubic availability (June~July) is secured when does the Project announce a new CUDA phase? Will Pascal be a repeat of GK110 initial ACEMD production difficulties? Titan X / GTX 980ti is now EOL/DOA. Maxwell's real TDP's (power limit): GTX980ti = 325~350W GTX980 = 250~275W GTX970 = 220~240W GTX960 = 160~180W GTX750 = 60~75W | |

Now that's the product we are waiting for. Will Pascal be a repeat of GK110 initial ACEMD production difficulties?As it happened at the release of every previous GPU generation I expect that there will be some difficulties. (The present app won't work with the new cards) | |

If it's not faster by its newer architecture, it should have 1540MHz GPU clock to achieve the performance of an overclocked GTX980Ti (@1400MHz). 2.1GHz is true - check out Nvidia's blog. GP104 Mid-tier 16nm die going to destroy the 3rd gen 28nm big die (GM200) performance/watt. 28nm Big die generations: GK110a > GK110b (GK210) > GM200 There's no doubting that GTX980ti is a strong 32bit chip but with all that heat it's tough cooling a dense setup OCed. IMHO: Water cooling GM200 was really only way to go - WC still has a 350W power limit running a monster program. I thought that this chip would have 3072 CUDA cores, so it has only the 5/6 of what I've expected, but it will be enough to top the GTX980Ti as it has higher clocks. 3072 CUDA is possible as a 2nd or 3rd gen mid-tier 16nm (GP204 or GV104 Volta) part with a slightly bigger die - similar to 4th or is it 5th gen 28nm GM204 (398mm²) .vs. 1st/2nd gen 28nm GK104 (294mm²). (3rd gen mid/low tier 28nm is GM107) Maybe the big die GP100 becomes a Geforce >3000CUDA - or Volta might be the first (Geforce) Big die? Either way the GPU performance/watt advancements is impressive compared to last couple of CPU generations. A non-Pascal question: does you're GM200 hit 1.5GHz stable on any projects and what's the highest (stable) OC for ACEMD? I've always thought GM200 1.5GHz ACEMD was possible. I've ran GM204 @1.5GHz since having them. (A lot Maxwell boards push the 1.5GHz boundary.) FYI: To find any Maxwell and (Pascal) PCB (BIOS) power limit - run Primegrid's OCL4 n=20/21/22 Genefer created by (Developer Yves Gallot) or Sisoftware CUDA scientist benchmark OCed. | |

2560 NVIDIA CUDA Cores would be a nice step up from 2048 (GTX980), which is primarily what we should be comparing a 1080 with. 8GB DDR5 also doubles the 980's 4GB DDR5. The 1733 (MHz) Boost Clock might actually Boost to ~1850MHz without any tweaking. If it outperforms the GTX980Ti for throughput then even better, but even if it doesn't it's highly likely to be better in terms of performance/Watt. | |

Just tried my nice shiny new Gigabyte GTX1080 on GPUGRID and I just got Computation Errors on the two wu's I downloaded. :-( | |
