Nvidia kepler maxwell. Applications that follow the best practices for the kepler architecture should typically see speedups on the maxwell architecture without any code changes. The first maxwell based products were the geforce gtx 750. For that i need a new graphics card. The number of active warps per multiprocessor 64 the register file size 64k 32 bit registers and the maximum registers used per thread 255 are the same on maxwell as they were on most kepler gpus.

Although the kepler smx design was extremely efficient for its generation through its development nvidia s gpu architects saw an opportunity for another big leap forward in architectural efficiency. The maxwell sm is the realization of that vision. Maxwell tuning guide maxwell is nvidia s 4th generation architecture for cuda compute applications. Nvidia s gpu technology conference gtc first kick started in october 2009 as the very first conference dedicated to programming and untapping the potential of the gpu.

Kepler was followed by the maxwell microarchitecture and used alongside maxwell in the geforce 700 series and geforce 800m series. And it d be painful if amd ati exited the pc graphics market because nvidia s maxwell s. The result is a kepler like architecture with a number of small design tweaks that improve. But maxwell increases the maximum active thread blocks per sm from 16 to 32.

One is with the newer maxwell architecture the later one with the kepler architecture. Kepler bios editor lets you modify the vbios of your nvidia kepler based geforce graphics card ie the geforce gtx 600 series like gtx 690 gtx 680 gtx 670 gtx 660 and geforce gtx 700 series like gtx 780 ti gtx 780 gtx 770 gtx 760 except for gtx 750 ti which is maxwell based and requires maxwell bios tweaker.

Maxwell is the codename for a gpu microarchitecture developed by nvidia as the successor to the kepler microarchitecture. My budget is around 150 eur and at the moment my two favorites are the gtx 750 ti with 2 gb ram and a gtx 660 with 3 gb ram. Kepler also found use in the gk20a the gpu component of the tegra k1 soc as well as in the quadro kxxx series the quadro nvs 510 and nvidia tesla computing modules. It was an eye opening event for all attendees us included.
