NVIDIA Fermi (GF100)

Realizes: Massively-parallel double-precision CUDA compute and graphics shading workloads

NVIDIA Fermi GF100 architecture introduced compute capability 2.x with ECC-protected GDDR5, hardware thread scheduling, and large register files; Tesla C2050 HPC accelerators and GeForce GTX 480 gaming cards both deploy this silicon to accelerate dense linear algebra, physics simulations, and shader pipelines.

Examples

Tesla C2050 / GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi GF100)

Tesla C2050 HPC accelerators and GeForce GTX 480 cards both implement GF100 compute capability 2.x, delivering 1 TFLOPS double-precision throughput, ECC-protected GDDR5, and CUDA 2.x scheduling for dense linear algebra, convolution, and graphics shader workloads.
