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 Domain experts to refactor applications To speed-up compute-intensive parts of an application ● 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 (1 − p) + р 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
