Tesla 20-series

Home

Notebooks And Computers - in the event that took place SC09 in Portland, NVIDIA finally revealed 20-series Tesla products for HPC (high performance computing) and claimed to give the same performance with a traditional CPU, but with 1 / 10 the cost of consumption and 1 / 20 power consumption.

Based on the architecture Fermi, Tesla processor has a new feature:

    * Support for the next generation double-precision IEEE 754-2008 floating point standard
    * ECC (Error Correcting codes) for uncompromised reliability and accuracy
    * Multi-level cache hierarchy with L1 and L2 caches
    * Support for the C + + programming language
    * Up to 1 terabyte of memory, the kernel concurrent execution, fast context switching, 10x faster atomic instructions, 64-bit virtual address space, system calls and recursive functions



"Nvidia has deployed a highly attractive architecture in Fermi, with a feature set that opens the technology up to the entire computing industry," said Jack Dongarra, director of the Innovative Computing Laboratory at the University of Tennessee and co-author of LINPACK and LAPACK .

The first product of the 20-series Tesla C2050 and C2070 is a single card and the S2050 and S2070 GPU computing system .. C2050/C2070 features PCI-Express x16 interface, occupies two PCI slots, have up to 3GB and 6GB (respectively) and the GDDR5 memory provides great performance in the range of double precision 520GFlops to 630 GFlops.

While S2050/S2070 features four Tesla cards in a 1U system and have up to 12GB and 24GB memory, respectively, and provides performance up to 2.1 TFLOPS 2.5 TFLOPS.

According to Nvidia, Tesla C2050, C2070, S2050 and S2070 will be available in Q2 2010 at a price of $ 2499, $ 3999, $ 12,995 and $ 18,995, respectively. While GeForce graphics cards based on the Fermi will debut in Q1.
