In the confusion surrounding the amount of cores on a GPU contra the number of cores I want to contribute with my part, and do some clearing up. Since the modern day GPUs with support for general purpose calculations, it has been pushed that they contain several hundreds of “Cores”, a magnitude higher than the amount [ READ MORE ]
Some new and interesting articles about the new Fermi architecture from nvidia: http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT093009110932&p=1 and http://techreport.com/articles.x/17670 Quite interesting to see how they are turning back to a more G80ish architecture again. [ READ MORE ]
In order to provide the CUDA developer with a low level programming language without exposing any of the underlying instruction set, NVIDIA have given us, the developers, the option to program in PTX ( Parallel Thread eXecution ). The PTX being somewhat similar to “assembly code” in structure opens up a new set of features to the developer, which [ READ MORE ]
Seeing how I’m lately have grown more and more involved into the OpenGraphics project, I’ve started a separate blog category for it. For those unaware of the OpenGraphics project, we’re trying to create an open graphics board. At the moment we’re close to having the Verilog down for the two main chips, just some infrastructure and testing left. And [ READ MORE ]
> > A couple of weeks ago, I posted a entry about me pondering upon writing a series of articles on GPU, and topics related to GPUs such as graphics. This first article will be a gentle introduction to the world of graphics, trying to give you, the reader, a bird’s overview of the entire pipeline. But first some general rules [ READ MORE ]
I’ll start my first post of the year by announcing that I’ll try to start blogging about GPU and 3D in general. Being a Ph.D student researching on GPU architecture, I’ll blog about the different trends I see in the world of graphics, while also having some in-depth articles about relevant topics in the 3 dimensional world. All this would [ READ MORE ]
