NVIDIA TITAN V transforms PCs into AI supercomputers

NVIDIA has introduced TITAN V, which it says is the world’s most powerful GPU for the PC, powered by the Volta GPU architecture. TITAN V excels at computational processing for scientific simulation. Its 21.1 billion transistors deliver 110 teraflops of raw horsepower together with extreme energy efficiency.

 “Our vision for Volta was to push the outer limits of high performance computing and AI. We broke new ground with its new processor architecture, instructions, numerical formats, memory architecture and processor links,” said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. “With TITAN V, we are putting Volta into the hands of researchers and scientists all over the world. I can’t wait to see their breakthrough discoveries.”

TITAN V’s Volta architecture features a major redesign of the streaming multiprocessor that is at the centre of the GPU. It doubles the energy efficiency of the previous generation Pascal design, enabling dramatic boosts in performance in the same power envelope. New Tensor cores designed specifically for deep learning deliver up to 9x higher peak teraflops than its predecessor.

With independent parallel integer and floating-point data paths, Volta is also much more efficient on workloads with a mix of computation and addressing calculations. Its new combined L1 data cache and shared memory unit significantly improve performance while also simplifying programming. Fabricated on a new TSMC 12-nm FinFet NVIDIA (FFN) high-performance manufacturing process customised for NVIDIA, TITAN V also incorporates Volta’s highly tuned 12GB second-generation high bandwidth memory (HBM2) memory subsystem for advanced memory bandwidth utilisation. 

The TITAN V is ideal for developers who want to use their PCs to work on artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning and high-performance computing (HPC). Users of TITAN V can gain immediate access to the latest GPU-optimised AI, deep learning and HPC software by signing up at no charge for an NVIDIA GPU Cloud account. This container registry includes NVIDIA-optimised deep learning frameworks, third-party managed HPC applications, NVIDIA HPC visualisation tools and the NVIDIA TensorRT inferencing optimiser.
