Thanks for clarifying. After posting an earlier post, I immediately checked the Tesla SP vs. DP performance, and lo and behold SP was indeed 2x as fast as DP. Then again, this is just raw FLOPS and doesn't take into account memory movement as you say.
Not always twice the performance between SP and DP, no? I originally thought that this was the case, but looking at NVIDIA GPUs, DP is very suboptimal compared to SP. Not just half the performance.... maybe in the order of a fifth
Probably because traditional CPUs are slow w.r.t. GFLOP ratings. GPUs were designed with many stamped out vector processes, right? I wouldn't be surprised if CPUs start to advertise SP and DP in the near future with the fused CPU/GPU architectures.
They have two different FLOPS counts, one for sp, and another for dp. It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison when one FLOPS counts has 32 bits more to deal with.
AVX Instructions have a 256-bit (32 byte) wide-registers with a total of 16 registers. AVX instructions are capable of performing either single precision ordouble precision depending on the application. With the 32 byte width, one can place up to 8 floats or 4 doubles in one register.

Thanks. Both cards and both PCI-e work (I've swapped w/ only 1 running at one). I've looked for BIOS settings that will enable SLI to no avail. (There is one setting that will set if PCI/onboard will be the primary display... but has no effect).
I think I'm going to replace my...
Hi all. I've been trying to run the following config to use Visual Studio 2010 + NVIDIA Parallel NSight (dual GPU for GPU debugging):
AMD APU A3
NVIDIA Geforce 520 Ti
NVIDIA Geforce 560 Ti
Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H mobo.
550W Antec TruePower PS
Hypothetically, my build can power both video cards...
Thank you for that insight.... I knew I was missing something so fundamental. I am going to be working in Folsom, CA as a Graphics Software Engineer... mostly validating pre-silicon chips.
Hi. Computer Engineering major here about to intern for Intel. I have to argue that architecture is the biggest thing in industry right now.
Let's start with single core processors. Before, big companies like AMD and Intel were trying to exploit performance gains from ILP (Instruction Level...
Hi all.
I just purchased the Antec ISK 300-65 Mini-ITX Case, a small form factor that has a 65W power supply.
I plan to buy a mini ITX motherboard and use a low profile Nvidia 9200 card, an optical drive, and a 250 GB mechanical SATA had drive.
Given the above configuration, I am...
Hi,
I'm interested in purchasing a dedicated file/network server to handle the following tasks:
* Ability to place Windows 7 / Vista / XP Accounts in the network and login to a specific account on any computer running windows
* Create a private VPN to access my home file server from...
Hello!
Is it wise to use a 160 GB laptop hard drive coupled with a USB enclosure (so in essence, the laptop drive is a 160 GB flash drive) as an external storage solution?
Do you think it will be relatively safe to store? What's the advantages / disadvantages than buying an external hard...
WOW. THANKS FOR THAT ADVICE.
I downloaded the 10.1 beta prelrelease from adobe flash and I can wathc Hulu on fullscreen 1920 * 1280 on my $30 8600 GT :)
thanks... I guess I don't need to upgrade anymore!
The thing is... all I want to do is run Hulu on fullscreen (1920 * 1280). Here's what I'm using:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
2 GB DDR1 RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT (1 GB) (this is really a cheap $30 card).
Would upgrading my video card enable me to run hulu on 1920 * 1280? I thought the CPU was the...
Hi. I currently have a single core Athlon 64 3200+ from 2004. My motherboard only accepts Socket 939 and the only available upgrade path is the Athlon 64 X2 3800 (or higher). The X2 3800 is a dual core rated at 2.0 GHz while the Athlon 64 3200+ is a single core rated at 2.0 GHz.
For $50...is...
Thank you all for your responses.
I have chosen the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e Brisbane 2.6GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache processor for $59.99.
A couple of your responses urged more questions so here goes:
1.) Someone mentioned HD encoding... the TV Tuner Card that I'm going to buy states that most...
Hi.
When I first entered this forum in 2003... the hottest budget items came from AMD, namely, the Sempron line.
I'm trying to build a low budget DVR rig for my brother and wanted to know if AMD was the go-to processor for "cheap but good enough" for DVR recording for an HTPC.
Wanted...
I'm quite confused with your suggestion. I did a little searching on accelero.. and it's just a big heatsink. What do you intend to do with the zip-tie? Just insure that the connection between VGA & accelero heatsink is even "more secure"? Thank you, btw, for your quick response.
Hello all.
First--my budget is within $75-$150. I'm looking for a PCI-E Video Card preferably going to be used in a audio recording rig. I'm looking for a quiet video card but would be fast enough to run basic video games (WoW, CS:S, etc).
Thanks
Hi.
My main objective is to create a audio recording rig + an overall video encoding workstation also. I have requirements to make it as quiet as possible, but at the same time, is it possible to run a quad core "quietly?" or should I stay with a lower wattage dual core?
I'm looking for...
Thanks guys. I'll look into it today and tell you how it goes. I think cutting the corresponding tab was my only choice, but let me try one more time to try to dislodge the tab with a sharp object.
Hey guys.
I'm trying to fix a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop's power plug by desoldering the old broken plug and replacing it with a new power plug.
The problem is: I was successful in desoldering 10 out of 11 holes of the old plug, and removed the plug, but it appears that a piece of metal is...
I highly recommend building your own PC for $1200.00. Pro Tools is highly CPU intensive and a quad core (q6600) should work well for that application. The only downside is to find Windows XP because there are still some issues with Vista and Pro Tools.
If you really don't want to spend an...
Tried conducting the power switch as you said. Still didn't work.
I've tried using:
1.) Plyers
2.) Pocket Knife
3.) ScrewDriver
4.) Plyers holding heatsink
Didn't work. I've had this problem ago a few months back, but the only fix that I remembered to do was that it automatically...
The following computer cannot be booted:
Abit is7-g
P4 2.4 Northwood
512 DDR OCZ RAM
I have suspected that the PS isn't the culprate because I've used an old 300W PS a few hours ago. Also, upon testing the computer booted up when I removed the +12V power connector when the power was...
Thanks!
I've rethought my setup.
I'm thinking of getting this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-968&depa=0
Would the power supply above be sufficient if for example, I plan to upgrade in the future with a Nvidia 6800?
