Not so fast! Are you talking half, single or double precision? Speaking from the perspective of someone who has one of each of those cards installed, you may want to benchmark and verify things before you claim 2x performance. The GP100, which has extremely limited availability and it may be a better comparison, but again I'd say lets compare real world numbers. The s9300 part has a mammoth amount of HBM bandwidth on the card.. Dum dee doo.... I welcome hard real world numbers from anyone who can produce them. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
