NVIDIA® has today launched the Tesla® K40 GPU, the world's fastest accelerator. Boston's solutions harness NVIDIA technology to help solve the most challenging computational problems, and the Tesla K40 GPU Accelerator brings breakthrough levels of performance to new and existing scientific, engineering, high-performance computing, and enterprise big data analytics applications.
The NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPU Accelerator doubles the memory of the Tesla K20X, increases the number of CUDA cores, and delivers 10x the performance of even the fastest CPUs available today. Alongside the increased memory and CUDA cores, NVIDIA have also brought Tesla GPUBoost technology to the K40, enabling end-users to turn power headroom into real performance.
Tesla GPUBoost can deliver dramatic performance improvements to HPC workloads not using the maximum power capability of the K40 GPU Accelerator. With two steps of faster clock-speeds available, end-users can increase the clock speed by over 15% if the power headroom is available.
The performance improvement of the Tesla K40 GPU Accelerator opens up exciting opportunities in scientific computing, enabling the management of larger datasets, an increased number of simulations, and more complex models. We can't wait to see what discoveries are made with the help of the K40 GPU Accelerator.
