Benchmark

NVIDIA Volta has just been made available to wide public through AWS. We have tested DigiCortex v1.22 on a 8x NVIDIA V100 system and achieved real-time simulation performance of 12.6 million neurons and 431 million synapses, which is almost 3x speedup compared to K80!

We have tested DigiCortex v1.22 on a dual NVIDIA P100 accelerator with significant results: real-time simulations of 5 million neurons and 200 million synapses are possible, thanks to the HBM2 memory bandwidth and other Tesla P100 features. Click on the article to read more.

DigiCortex v1.21 brings improvements in the GPU area: it now includes support for multi-GPU CUDA-accelerated simulations and a full support for the latest generation NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture

We tested early version of the SpikeFun v0.95 CUDA compute plug-in against the reference optimized x86 code-path. For the test, two state of the art GPU and CPU solutions were used: NVIDIA GK110 ("Big Kepler") and dual eight-core Intel Xeon E5 2687W.
