NVIDIA Unveils Next Gen CUDA GPU Architecture – Fermi

By

NVIDIA Corp. today introduced its next generation CUDA GPU architecture, codenamed Fermi. An entirely new ground-up design, the Fermi architecture is the foundation for the worlds first computational graphics processing units (GPUs), delivering breakthroughs in both graphics and GPU computing.

It is completely clear that GPUs are now general purpose parallel computing processors with amazing graphics, and not just graphics chips anymore, said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA. The Fermi architecture, the integrated tools, libraries and engines are the direct results of the insights we have gained from working with thousands of CUDA developers around the world. We will look back in the coming years and see that Fermi started the new GPU industry.
