RTX on—The NVIDIA Turing GPU
John Burgess
Abstract
NVIDIA's latest processor family, the Turing GPU, was designed to realize a vision for next-generation graphics combining rasterization, ray tracing, and deep learning. It includes fundamental advancements in several key areas: streaming multiprocessor efficiency, a Tensor Core for accelerated AI inferencing, and an RTCore for accelerated ray tracing. With these innovations, Turing unlocks both real-time ray-tracing performance and deep-learning inference in consumer, professional, and datacenter solutions.
