The Next GenerationCUDA Architecture

THE NEXT GENERATION
CUDA ARCHITECTURE,
CODE NAMED FERMI
THE SOUL OF A
SUPERCOMPUTER IN THE
BODY OF A GPU
The next generation CUDA
architecture, code named
“ Fermi”, is the most
advanced GPU computing
architecture ever built. With
over three billion transistors
and featuring up to 512 CUDA
cores, Fermi delivers
supercomputing features and
performance at 1/10th the
cost and 1/20th the power of
traditional CPU-only servers.

ARCHITECTURAL
FEATURES
Fermi makes GPU and CPU co-
processing pervasive by
addressing the full-spectrum
of computing applications.
Designed for C++ and
available with a Visual Studio
development environment,
it makes parallel
programming easier and
accelerates performance on
a wider array of applications
than ever before – including
dramatic performance
acceleration in ray tracing,
physics, finite element
analysis, high-precision
scientific computing, sparse
linear algebra, sorting, and
search algorithms.
Fermi features several major
innovations:
• 512 CUDA cores
• NVIDIA Parallel DataCache
technology
• NVIDIA GigaThread™
engine
• ECC support
