Although NVIDIA refuses to announce any new product at the nVision 08, the firm discusses the chameleon still its technologies, present and future. Thus, Tony Tamasi, a vice-chairpersons of NVIDIA in charge of development, has undertaken a review of developments over the past decades in terms of GPU. Recall that we moved from a model based chip sets, a model partially programmable chip (DirectX 8.0 and Pixel Shaders) to finally reach chips far more flexible and widely programmable with a premium unified architecture.
Tony Tamasi opportunity to establish a chronology of inflection points in the field of architecture before 3D compare the developments in terms of features and performance of these various architectures. All this in order to determine a projection of performances we have a right to expect a GPU in 2008 and again in 2013. The projection of a performance GPU in 2008, based on previous models lies elsewhere in the 10% performance currently offered by the GeForce GTX 200. As the news to wait until 2013 in our graphics chips, NVIDIA will risk a brief roadmap referring to the care of the native language C + + for programming the chip, the establishment of a virtual pipeline, complete support pointers or a partition active in terms of workloads of the chip. NVIDIA of course insists on the fact that in 2013, the GPU will always be a dedicated chip, but mixed with the tasks of graphics rendering and tasks of generic calculation.
The GPU in 2013 according to NVIDIA: some of the possible developments
As for the performance, the GPU display of 2013, according to NVIDIA, a computing power of 20 Teraflops while its memory bandwidth exceeds the terabyte / second. Meet us in five years to see if these forecasts prove correct ... or not!
