The g2s were Kepler, the g3s are Maxwell. 'Next generation' is technically correct.

The g2s were Kepler, the g3s are Maxwell. 'Next generation' is technically correct.
- TotallyHuman 9y agoCurrent gen is Pascal though, so 'Prev generation' is more correct.
- moonbug22 9y agoIn architectural terms perhaps. But the M60 is most definitely a current generation Tesla product.
- shaklee3 9y agoNot really. Typically there were reasons you would stick with older generations, such as M60s having very poor fp64 performance. If you want fp32, it gives a bump over the K80s currently in there. However, the P100 would have been the most logical path since it doesn't cripple fp16/32/64.
- bbgm 9y agoThese are G-instances and graphics is one of the primary use cases for this instance (and for the previous G2 instance). The M60 is the top part with GRID support built in. A GRID license that allows you to use the GRID driver is part of the offering. Disclosure: I own HPC for AWS (among other things) and used to own instances
- dmichulke 9y agoHis point is: They didn't say newest generation, only next and next may in this case refer to - "next after kepler" (parent's assumptions) or - "next after current" (other commenters' assumption)
