Gpu Streaming Multiprocessor
This comes from the idea that each multiprocessor in the gpu has its own streaming multiprocessor which is the one that controls the data flow on the cores and each sm manages just 8 cores at a time at least in my grapic card.
Gpu streaming multiprocessor. Each sm contains the following. Shared memory for fast data interchange between threads constant cache for fast broadcast of reads from constant memory. It was a prolific time ending up with a business card raytracer running close to 700x faster 1 from 101s to 150ms. Gpu从大的方面来讲 就是由显存和计算单元组成 显存 global memory 显存是在gpu板卡上的dram 类似于cpu的内存 就是那堆ddr啊 gddr5啊之类的 特点是容量大 可达16gb 速度慢 cpu和gpu都可以访问 计算单元 streaming multiprocessor 执行计算的.
Add 6 8 param1 param2 param3 having said all this stuff my question is. The gpu consists of an array of sm streaming multiprocessor multiprocessors each of which is capable of supporting thousands co resident concurrent threads. An execution driven cuda kernel scheduler and streaming multiprocessor compute model author khairy mahmoud and zhang mengchi and green roland and hammond simon david and hoekstra robert j. And rogers timothy and hughes clayton abstractnote programmable accelerators have become commonplace in modern computing systems.
Article osti 1497416 title sst gpu. A history of nvidia stream multiprocessor i spent last week end getting accustomed to cuda and simt programming. Gpu card 2 gpu architecture. Within the core architecture the key enablers for turing s significant boost in graphics performance are a new gpu processor streaming multiprocessor sm architecture with improved shader execution efficiency and a new memory system architecture that includes support for the latest gddr6 memory technology.
Each sm in the gpu is a set of processors. Thousands of registers that can be partitioned among threads of execution. This gpu has 16 streaming multiprocessor sm which contains 32 cuda cores each. The following graph shows the fermi architecture.
