Double the memory capacity, double the compute, higher efficiency and faster bandwidth. According to the slides presented that day, Volta would have twice of everything that Pascal has. Do note that Pascal was not launched at that time. ![]() Details of the chip first emerged back at GTC 2015 where NVIDIA showcased what the predict to be the estimated performance output of their upcoming chips. Just a year after their successful Pascal launch in the HPC market, NVIDIA will be planning to introduce their next grand chip for the HPC market, codenamed Volta. NVIDIA also utilized Pascal GP100 GPUs inside their own DGX SaturnV supercomputer that is designed to help them build smarter cards and next generation GPUs (GPUs Designing GPUs). With a R&D budget of over several Billion dollars, Pascal GP100 was indeed the great chip of 2016, aimed to power the HPC and datacenter market with performance never before seen in the graphics industry. When NVIDIA announced their Pascal GP100 GPU at GTC 2016, they called it the largest chip endeavor in the history of humanity. ![]() NVIDIA Volta VG100 GPUs - The Heart of the Summit and Sierra Supercomputer, Multi-TFLOPs Chip With Fastest HBM2 Configuration Little is known about Volta GPU specifications but an analysis down by NextPlatform over the details of Summit supercomputer reveal that it can be an insanely fast chips capable of delivering multi-tflops compute power in the HPC market. NVIDIA Volta is being prepped for launch in the next generation supercomputers known as Summit and Sierra.
