Intel was comparing Knights Landing to Kepler, which was released a few years back.
- paulmd 10y agoKepler was the default GPGPU product for many tasks until GP100 released - and GP100 still has not hit general availability yet. Essentially, anything that needed dynamic parallelism (launching kernels from within kernels, i.e. tasks where you don't know where the difficult/interesting needles are within a haystack), advanced/concurrent scheduling capabilities, or FP64 is going to be much, much better off with Kepler until users can get their hands on GP100 cards. Maxwell is good at neither of those things - it's actually only good at specifically deep learning/neural nets. Which is not every task within the GPGPU space.
