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.

GeForce RTX 4080 (AD103)

GeForce RTX 4090 (AD102)

Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada Generation (AD102, formerly Quadro)

Nvidia L40 (AD102, formerly Tesla)

  • Fourth-Gen Tensor Cores increasing throughput by up to 5X, to 1.4 Tensor-petaFLOPS using the new FP8 Transformer Engine (like H100 model)
  • Third-generation RT Cores have twice the ray-triangle intersection throughput, increasing RT-TFLOP performance by over 2x
  • The new RT Cores also include a new Opacity Micromap (OMM) Engine and a new Displaced Micro-Mesh (DMM) Engine. The OMM Engine enables much faster ray tracing of alpha-tested textures often used for foliage, particles, and fences. The DMM Engine delivers up to 10X faster Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) build time with up to 20X less BVH storage space, enabling real-time ray tracing of geometrically complex scenes
  • Shader Execution Reordering (SER) technology dynamically reorganizes these previously inefficient workloads into considerably more efficient ones. SER can improve shader performance for ray tracing operations by up to 3X, and in-game frame rates by up to 25%.
  • DLSS 3 is a revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance. Powered by the new fourth-gen Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 uses AI to create additional high-quality frames
  • Graphics cards built upon the Ada architecture feature new eighth generation NVIDIA Encoders (NVENC) with AV1 encoding, enabling a raft of new possibilities for streamers, broadcasters, and video callers.
  • It’s 40% more efficient than H.264 and allows users who are streaming at 1080p to increase their stream resolution to 1440p while running at the same bitrate and quality.
