Intel Larrabee finally hits 1TFLOPS - 2.7x faster than nVidia GT200! During the recently held SC09 conference in Portland, Oregon - Intel finally managed to reach its original performance goal for Larrabee. Back in 2006, when we first got the first details about Larrabee, the performance goal was "[email protected] 16 cores, 2.0 GHz clock, 150W TDP". During Justin Rattner's keynote, Intel demonstrated the performance of LRB as it stands today. At SGEMM Performance test [4K by 4K Matrix Multiply, QCD], Intel achieved 417 GFLOPS using half the cores on the prototype card, and reached 825 GFLOPS by enabling all the cores. While looking at the numbers alone, one might think that these scores are below the level of ATI Radeon 4850 and nVidia GeForce GTX 280/GTX 285. Of course, there is a "but" coming - unlike theoretical numbers that are usually disclosed by ATI and nVidia - this was an actual SGEMM benchmark calculation used in the HPC community.... |
