Summarizing CPU and GPU Design Trends with Product Data Summarizing CPU and GPU Design Trends with Product Data Yifan Sun, Nicolas Bohm Agostini, Shi Dong, and David Kaeli Northeastern University Email: fyifansun, agostini, shidong, [email protected] Abstract—Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling have guided the products. Equipped with this data, we answer the following semiconductor industry for the past few decades. Recently, both questions: laws have faced validity challenges as transistor sizes approach • Are Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling still valid? If so, the practical limits of physics. We are interested in testing the validity of these laws and reflect on the reasons responsible. In what are the factors that keep the laws valid? this work, we collect data of more than 4000 publicly-available • Do GPUs still have computing power advantages over CPU and GPU products. We find that transistor scaling remains CPUs? Is the computing capability gap between CPUs critical in keeping the laws valid. However, architectural solutions and GPUs getting larger? have become increasingly important and will play a larger role • What factors drive performance improvements in GPUs? in the future. We observe that GPUs consistently deliver higher performance than CPUs. GPU performance continues to rise II.

Moore’s Law A large number of GPU products (e.g., NVIDIA Tesla K80) predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double have more than one GPU chip on a single PCB. For these every 18 months. Dennard scaling stated that the energy products, we only consider the properties of one of its chips. consumption of a chip would stay in proportion to the size of As an exception, the emerging Multi-Chip-Module (MCM) the chip.

We consider the multiple chips in a MCM the device without consuming more energy. Moore’s Law and package (e.g., AMD Threadripper CPUs) as a single chip.

As Because MCM packages are usually programmer transparent, we reduce the transistor size, the performance of computing a programmer can use multiple chips in an MCM package as if devices would exponentially increase over time. they are a single chip.

  • The Central Processing Unit(CPU). the Brain of Any Computer System Is the CPU
    Computer Fundamentals 1'stage Lec. (8 ) College of Computer Technology Dept.Information Networks The central processing unit(CPU). The brain of any computer system is the CPU. It controls the functioning of the other units and process the data. The CPU is sometimes called the processor, or in the personal computer field called “microprocessor”. It is a single integrated circuit that contains all the electronics needed to execute a program. The processor calculates (add, multiplies and so on), performs logical operations (compares numbers and make decisions), and controls the transfer of data among devices. The processor acts as the controller of all actions or services provided by the system. Processor actions are synchronized to its clock input. A clock signal consists of clock cycles. The time to complete a clock cycle is called the clock period. Normally, we use the clock frequency, which is the inverse of the clock period, to specify the clock. The clock frequency is measured in Hertz, which represents one cycle/second. Hertz is abbreviated as Hz. Usually, we use mega Hertz (MHz) and giga Hertz (GHz) as in 1.8 GHz Pentium. The processor can be thought of as executing the following cycle forever: 1. Fetch an instruction from the memory, 2. Decode the instruction (i.e., determine the instruction type), 3. Execute the instruction (i.e., perform the action specified by the instruction). Execution of an instruction involves fetching any required operands, performing the specified operation, and writing the results back. This process is often referred to as the fetch- execute cycle, or simply the execution cycle.

Patel, Professor, Computer Sciences Karthikeyan Sankaralingam, Associate Professor, Computer Sciences David A. Wood, Professor, Computer Sciences © Copyright by Jason Lowe-Power 2017 All Rights Reserved i Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge all of the people who helped me along the way to completing this dissertation. First, I would like to thank my advisors, Mark Hill and David Wood. Often, when students have multiple advisors they find there is high “synchronization overhead” between the advisors. However, Mark and David complement each other well. Mark is a high-level thinker, focusing on the structure of the argument and distilling ideas to their essentials; David loves diving into the details of microarchitectural mechanisms. Although ever busy, at least one of Mark or David were available to meet with me, and they always took the time to help when I needed it. Together, Mark and David taught me how to be a researcher, and they have given me a great foundation to build my career. I thank my committee members. Jignesh Patel for his collaborations, and for the fact that each time I walked out of his office after talking to him, I felt a unique excitement about my research.

Built on the 16 nm process, and based on the GP104 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12.0. The GP104 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 314 mm² and 7,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 1080, which uses the same GPU but has all 2560 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the Quadro P4000 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs. NVIDIA has placed 8,192 MB GDDR5 memory on the card, which are connected using a 256‐bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1227 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1480 MHz, memory is running at 1502 MHz. We recommend the NVIDIA Quadro P4000 for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 5760x1080. Being a single‐slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro P4000 draws power from 1x 6‐pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 105 W maximum. Display outputs include: 4x DisplayPort. Quadro P4000 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 241 mm in length, and features a single‐slot cooling solution.

  • Computer Organization & Architecture Eie
    COMPUTER ORGANIZATION & ARCHITECTURE EIE 411 Course Lecturer: Engr Banji Adedayo. Reg COREN. The characteristics of different computers vary considerably from category to category. Computers for data processing activities have different features than those with scientific features. Even computers configured within the same application area have variations in design. Computer architecture is the science of integrating those components to achieve a level of functionality and performance. It is logical organization or designs of the hardware that make up the computer system. The internal organization of a digital system is defined by the sequence of micro operations it performs on the data stored in its registers. The internal structure of a MICRO-PROCESSOR is called its architecture and includes the number lay out and functionality of registers, memory cell, decoders, controllers and clocks. HISTORY OF COMPUTER HARDWARE The first use of the word ‘Computer’ was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculation or computation. A brief History: Computer as we all know 2day had its beginning with 19th century English Mathematics Professor named Chales Babage. He designed the analytical engine and it was this design that the basic frame work of the computer of today are based on. 1st Generation 1937-1946 The first electronic digital computer was built by Dr John V. Atanasoff & Berry Cliford (ABC). In 1943 an electronic computer named colossus was built for military. 1946 – The first general purpose digital computer- the Electronic Numerical Integrator and computer (ENIAC) was built. This computer weighed 30 tons and had 18,000 vacuum tubes which were used for processing.
