Nvidia brings its Volta architecture chips for supercomputers to the pc

Nvidia has introduced the Titan V, the "world's most effective computer GPU". it is based on Nvidia's Volta, the identical structure because the Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs behind Amazon web service's lately launched pinnacle-cease P3 times, which might be committed to artificial-intelligence applications.

The Titan V for desktops is likewise aimed at researchers and scientists and changed into unveiled at the big Neural records Processing gadget (NIPS) AI conference in this week in lengthy seaside.

The pictures card consists of six picture processing clusters, featuring 21.1 billion transistors, 12GB reminiscence, and 640 Tensor Cores, that are capable of performing a hundred and ten teraflops, or a hundred and ten trillion floating-factor operations in keeping with a second.

That performance trounces one in every of Nvidia's first-rate gaming GPUs, the Maxwell-based totally GTX 980, that's capable of four.6 teraflops, in addition to the eleven teraflops that the newer Pascal-based totally GTX 1080 Ti is able to. At $2,999 it additionally expenses about six times as a lot as those top-of-the-line gaming GPUs.

Nvidia says the Titan V has 9 instances the electricity of its predecessor, the $1,200 Titan XP, and double the electrical performance of Pascal GPUs. The tools are fabricated on TMCS's 12-nanometer FFN manufacturing technique.

"Our imaginative and prescient for Volta turned into to push the outer limits of excessive-overall performance computing and AI. We broke new floor with its new processor architecture, instructions, numerical formats, reminiscence architecture and processor hyperlinks," said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang.

"With TITAN V, we're setting Volta into the palms of researchers and scientists everywhere in the world. I can't wait to look their step forward discoveries."

The Titan V has a comparable shape aspect to its gaming GPUs but comes in black and gold. As with the Titan XP, every client can best buy two units.

Nvidia is likewise making its currently released AI software program applications available through its GPU cloud.

The boom of AI and adoption of GPUs in the cloud to support AI applications have been a major win for Nvidia. Gaming is still Nvidia's largest market with the aid of revenue, however, datacenter income from the likes of Microsoft, Baidu and AWS have visible the sector's sales extra than double over the last yr to $500m.
