Consider the Following GPU That Consists of 8 Multiprocessors Clocked

question 5

Essay

Consider the following GPU that consists of 8 multiprocessors clocked at 1.5 GHz, each of which contains 8 multithreaded single-precision floating-point units and integer processing units. It has a memory system that consists of 8 partitions of 1GHz Graphics DDR3DRAM, each 8 bytes wide and with 256 MB of capacity. Making reasonable assumptions (state them), and a naive matrix multiplication algorithm, compute how much time the computation C = A * B would take. A, B, and C are n * n matrices and n is determined by the amount of memory the system has.
