Does this architecture improve on 64-bit integer performance? Have any of the GPU manufacturers said anything about that? At some point it becomes a necessity for address calculations on large arrays.
- sipherhex 9y ago"With independent, parallel integer and floating point datapaths, the Volta SM is also much more efficient on workloads with a mix of computation and addressing calculations" https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/inside-volta/ https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/inside-volta/ Under "New SM" in "Key Features" section
