The new NVIDIA® Maximus technology platform, based on NVIDIA Kepler, the world's fastest and most efficient visual computing architecture, takes simultaneous 3D design, simulation and visualization to unprecedented levels of performance and efficiency. NVIDIA Maximus powered workstations combine the interactive design and visualization capability of the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 GPU and the high-performance computing power of the NVIDIA® Tesla™ K20 GPU into a single workstation.

The NVIDIA Kepler architecture is designed from the ground up to maximize computational performance and has many new innovations such as SMX, Dynamic Parallelism, and Hyper-Q that make hybrid computing dramatically faster, easier to program, and applicable to a broader set of professional applications across a range of industries such as manufacturing, media and entertainment, sciences and oil and gas.

SMX

Delivers more processing performance and efficiency through this new, innovative streaming multiprocessor design that allows a greater percentage of space to be applied to processing cores versus control logic

Dynamic Parallelism

Simplifies GPU programming by allowing programmers to easily accelerate all parallel nested loops - resulting in a GPU dynamically spawning new threads on its own without going back to the CPU

Hyper-Q

Slashes CPU idle time by allowing multiple CPU cores to simultaneously utilize a single Kepler GPU, dramatically advancing programmability and efficiency

Bindless Textures

Dramatically increases the number of unique textures available to shaders at run-time enabling vastly more different materials and richer texture detail in scenes

FXAA/TXAA

Reduces visible aliasing and delivers higher image quality without the performance hit by harnessing the power of the GPU's CUDA cores and new film-style AA techniques
