Exam 19: General-Purpose Graphic Processing Units

A GPU uses a massively parallel ________ architecture to perform mainly mathematical operations.

The _________ performs transcendental operations,such as cosine,sine,reciprocal,and square root,in a single clock cycle.

A SoC product architect can create product families or a specific product within a family by placing a single slice or multiple slices on a SoC chip.

The equivalent GPU hardware component for a block is the CUDA multiprocessor (SM).

A subslice includes a unit called the _________,which is used for sampling texture and image surfaces.

All but one set of GPU processor cores will be idle,while one SM is bearing the full processing load.

The dual warp scheduler will break up each thread block it is processing into _______ .

The data-parallel code to be run on the GPU is called a ___________ .

A kernel typically will have few to no branching statements.

CUDA was created by __________ .

The largest GPUs are found in embedded systems.

The total number of threads defined is typically in the thousands to maximize the utilization of the GPU processor cores as well as maximize the available speedup.

Threads are uniformly bundled in _________ .

In embedded systems the GPU is composed of only a single-digit number of cores,and are typically combined with a number of conventional cores,referred to as _________.

A __________ program can be divided into three general sections: code to be run on the device,code to be run on the host,and the code related to the transfer of data between the host and the device.

The __________ is designed specifically to be optimized for fast three-dimensional (3D)graphics rendering and video processing.

To enhance performance,a technique known as __________ is used for the shared L3 data cache.

For about $200 you can purchase a GPU with 960 parallel processor cores for a workstation.

The first NVIDIA GPU with added GPGPU support hardware was the _________ .

The _________ scheduler breaks up each thread block it is processing into warps.
