AMD FirePro S9150 : High-performance video card
AMD GPU for a server named FirePro S9150. The video card in question is designed for use in high-performance computing environments. Variants of this card could probably see them in future Mac Pro. AMD has launched a GPU server called FirePro S9150. The video card in question is designed for use in high-performance computing environments, designed to accelerate compute-intensive workloads; offers maximum performance at up to 5.07 TFLOPS single-precision and double-precision floating-point to 2.53 TFLOPS, with a maximum power consumption of 235 W.
The cards in question uses the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture first 28 nm GPU and unlike competing server boards that are not optimized for double precision, the AMD FirePro S9150 offer double-precision performance, able to complete tasks calculation intensive faster.
The memory (16 GB GDDR5) 512-bit and up to 320 GB/s. Among the technologies supported: PowerTune (an intelligent system that analyzes real-time applications that use the GPU, if an application is not making the most of the available power of the GPU, AMD PowerTune can improve performance by automatically increasing the clock speed of the GPU up to 30%) and OpenCL 1.2 (features that allow estab harness the power of parallel processing GPU modern multicore CPU to accelerate the computation-intensive tasks).
The GPU AMD FirePro S9150 server should also support OpenCL 2.0. Variants a bit less powerful and with even lower fuel consumption could probably see in the next-generation Mac Pro (the latter could arrive before the end of the year). The current Mac Pro integrated two GPU: the AMD FirePro workstation-class, each with 2GB, 3GB or 6GB of dedicated VRAM and up to 2048 stream processors.
