cuda - Number of cores on NVIDIA K20 GPU in Mathematica -


i using nvidia k20 gpu in mathematica. whitepaper k20 states following specs:

  1. 2496 single-precision cores (192 per multiprocessor x 13 multiprocessors)
  2. 832 double-precision cores (64 per multiprocessor x 13 multiprocessors)
  3. 416 special function units (32 per multiprocessor x 13 multiprocessors)

however, when launch mathematica , @ specs of gpu after loading opencl or cuda, says have 416 cores (i have attached screenshot of mathematica commands , reported specs). somehow related number of double-precision cores or special function units? mathematica reports these specs before tell kind of code write (e.g. double precision, transcendental functions).enter image description here

it more mathematica not yet know kepler architecture yet, , translates multiprocessor count core count incorrectly.

since "cores" marketing invention anyway, can safely ignore number. mathematica still use entire gpu (although kepler-aware version might still bring speedup through other optimizations).
