Zen, CUDA, and Tensor Cores, Part I: The Silicon
Given the complexity of today's computing hardware, it’s easy to get confused about what is meant by the word “core”.
But as we’ve already seen, we’re nowhere near the die shot resolution we’d need for that kind of analysis, so for our low level of accuracy here, it’s sufficient to assume a single average CUDA core size. Also, since silicon analysis is not a core competency of mine, I would not have felt comfortable creating this series without the help of several hardware engineers who donated their time reviewing these materials and correcting errors. Finally, the copious amounts of animation in the video version of this article would not have been possible without Molly Rocket’s own Anna Rettberg, who put together 20 minutes of motion graphics to help make these complex topics easy to visualize.
