NVIDIA® What Is Accelerated Computing? A full-stack approach: silicon, systems, software • Not just a superfast chip - accelerated computing is a full-stack combination of: Chip(s) with specialized processors Algorithms in acceleration libraries Amdahl's law: The overall system speed-up (S) gained by optimizing a single part of a system by a factor (s) is limited by the proportion of execution time of that part (p). S = || 1 p (1 − p) + b S . Domain experts to refactor applications. To speed-up compute-intensive parts of an application. For example: . If 90% of the runtime can be accelerated by 100x, the application is sped up 9x If 99% of the runtime can be accelerated by 100x, the application is sped up 50x If 80% of the runtime can be accelerated by 500x, or even 1000x, the application is sped up 5x
