We are fast approaching the return of the math coprocessor. In fashion they say that trends tend to reappear roughly every two decades, its overdue. | ||

Yeah I would love for Nvidia to introduce faster update cycle to their hardware, so that we'll have models like "H201", "H220", etc. I think it will also make sense to replace "H" with a brand number, sort of like they already do for customer GPUs. So then maybe one day we'll have a math coprocessor called "Nvidia 80287". | ||

I remember the building hugh end workstations for a summer job in the 2000s, where I had to fit Tesla cards in the machines. I don't remember what their device names were, we just called them tesla cards. "Accelerator card" makes a lot of sense to me. | ||

It's called a tensorcore and it's in most GPUs | ||
