Nvidia GPU tips and tricks
- TRX - RTX stands for real-time ray tracing
- GeForce vs Quadro - In general, GeForce cards have less computing power than Quadro cards. Quadro cards simply have more computation and memory than GeForce cards. So if we are training a neural network, rendering an animated film, or running exhaustive CAD/CAE applications , that extra memory is extra welcome
GPU Tenser performance notes for RTX 4090
According to this thread NVIDIA looks cut the tensor FP16 & TF32 operation rate in half, resulting in a 4090 with even lower FP16 & TF32 performance than the 4080 16GB. This may have been done to prevent the 4090 from cannibalizing the Quadro/Tesla sales. So if you are choosing GPUs, you can choose the 4090 for memory, but lower tensor performance than the 4080 16GB. eventhough 4090 has more than twice the ray tracing performance of the 4080 12GB.

NVIDIA GPU Architecture
nvcc sm flags and what they’re used for: When compiling with NVCC[1],
- the arch flag (‘
-arch
‘) specifies the name of the NVIDIA GPU architecture that the CUDA files will be compiled for. - Gencodes (‘
-gencode
‘) allows for more PTX generations and can be repeated many times for different architectures.

NVIDIA Grace Architecture
NVIDIA has announced that they will be partnering with server manufacturers such as HPE, Atos, and Supermicro to create servers that integrate the Grace architecture with ARM-based CPUs. These servers are expected to be available in the second half of 2023, by then HPCMATE starts to offer those products through local and global partners.
Architecture | Key Features |
