NVIDIA GeForce Kepler Packs Radically Different Number Crunching Machinery

NVIDIA is bound to kickstart its competitive graphics processor lineup to AMD's Southern Islands Radeon HD 7000 series with GeForce Kepler 104 (GK104). We are learning through reliable sources that NVIDIA will implement a radically different design (by NVIDIA's standards anyway) for its CUDA core machinery, while retaining the basic hierarchy of components in its GPU similar to Fermi. The new design would ensure greater parallelism. The latest version of GK104's specifications looks like this:

SIMD Hierarchy

4 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC)
4 Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) per GPC = 16 SM
96 Stream Processors (SP) per SM = 1536 CUDA cores
