Nvidia Tesla

nVidia Tesla

The Tesla graphics processing unit (GPU) is nVidia's third brand of GPUs. It is based on high-end GPUs from the G80 (and on), as well as the Quadro lineup. Tesla is nVidia's first dedicated General Purpose GPU. The Tesla series takes its name from pioneering Serbian electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

Tesla overview

Because of their very high computational power (measured in floating point operations per second or FLOPS) compared to previous microprocessors, the Tesla products target the high performance computing market.[1] The lack of ability to output images to a display[2] was the main difference between Tesla products and the consumer level GeForce cards and the professional level Quadro cards, but the latest Tesla C-class products include one Dual-Link DVI port [3]. (C. For equivalent single precision output, Fermi-based nVidia Geforce cards have four times less dual-precision performance. Tesla products primarily operate[4]:

As of 2011 nVidia Teslas power the second-fastest supercomputer in the world, Tianhe-1A, in Tianjin, China.
