The NVIDIA 455.28 Linux driver is out today as their first official 455 series release and also stable RTX 3080/3090 Ampere support. On top of the NVIDIA 455 series supporting the Ampere RTX 30 series, the driver series for Linux users also adds VDPAU VP9 10/12-bit support, improved base mosaic support, support for the NVIDIA NGX updater, Vulkan additions, and more. NVIDIA driver 455.28 is out for Linux, new GPU support and lots of bug fixes[3] NVIDIA have produced a brand new stable Linux driver with version 455.28, which adds in new GPU support and there's plenty of fixes for us too. This is a proper mainline stable driver, so it should be good for anyone to upgrade with. A lot of this is coming over from previous Beta releases. With this new 455.28 driver it sees official Linux support for the GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce RTX 3090 and the GeForce MX450. That's not all that was added. In this release they hooked up support for a new device-local VkMemoryType which is host-coherent and host-visible, which they said may lead to better performance for running certain titles with the DXVK translation layer like DiRT Rally 2.0, DOOM: Eternal and World of Warcraft. It also adds NVIDIA VDPAU driver support for decoding VP9 10- and 12-bit bitstreams.

Numerical Behavior of NVIDIA Tensor Cores
Numerical behavior of NVIDIA tensor cores Massimiliano Fasi1, Nicholas J. Higham2, Mantas Mikaitis2 and Srikara Pranesh2 1 School of Science and Technology, Örebro University, Örebro, Sweden 2 Department of Mathematics, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK ABSTRACT We explore the ﬂoating-point arithmetic implemented in the NVIDIA tensor cores, which are hardware accelerators for mixed-precision matrix multiplication available on the Volta, Turing, and Ampere microarchitectures. Using Volta V100, Turing T4, and Ampere A100 graphics cards, we determine what precision is used for the intermediate results, whether subnormal numbers are supported, what rounding mode is used, in which order the operations underlying the matrix multiplication are performed, and whether partial sums are normalized. These aspects are not documented by NVIDIA, and we gain insight by running carefully designed numerical experiments on these hardware units. Knowing the answers to these questions is important if one wishes to: (1) accurately simulate NVIDIA tensor cores on conventional hardware; (2) understand the differences between results produced by code that utilizes tensor cores and code that uses only IEEE 754-compliant arithmetic operations; and (3) build custom hardware whose behavior matches that of NVIDIA tensor cores. As part of this work we provide a test suite that can be easily adapted to test newer versions of the NVIDIA tensorcoresaswellassimilaracceleratorsfromothervendors,astheybecome available.

GPU Technology Conference 2010 Sessions on Video Processing (subject to change) IMPORTANT: Visit www.nvidia.com/gtc for the most up-to-date schedule and to enroll into sessions to ensure your spot in the most popular courses. 2095 - Building High Density Real-Time Video Processing Systems Learn how GPU Direct can be used to effectively build real time, high performance, cost effective video processing products. We will focus especially on how to optimize bus throughput while keeping CPU load and latency minimal. Speaker: Ronny Dewaele, Barco Topics: Video Processing, Imaging Time: Thursday, September, 23rd, 16:00 - 16:50 2029 - Computer Vision Algorithms for Automating HD Post- Production Discover how post-production tasks can be accelerated by taking advantage of GPU-based algorithms. In this talk we present computer vision algorithms for corner detection, feature point tracking, image warping and image inpainting, and their efficient implementation on GPUs using CUDA. We also show how to use these algorithms to do real-time stabilization and temporal re-sampling (re-timing) of high definition video sequences, both common tasks in post-production. Benchmarking of the GPU implementations against optimized CPU algorithms demonstrates a speedup of approximately an order of magnitude. Speaker: Hannes Fassold, JOANNEUM RESEARCH Topics: Computer Vision, Video Processing Time: Wednesday, September, 22nd, 15:00 - 15:50 2125 - Developing GPU Enabled Visual Effects For Film And Video 1 The arrival of fully programable GPUs is now changing the visual effects industry, which traditionally relied on CPU computation to create their spectacular imagery. Implementing the complex image processing algorithms used by VFX is a challenge, but the payoffs in terms of interactivity and throughput can be enormous.
