This means performance improvements on the Tesla P100. There are now new data migration APIs and improved support for large datasets, concurrent data access,\u00a0and atomics. Also in store is support for native FP16 computation and faster Deep Learning using optimized cuBLAS.<\/p>\n<p>nvGRAPH library now comes with CUDA Toolkit 8 allowing accelerated graph analytics algorithms. There are now new cuBLAS matrix multiply optimizations on smaller matrices (512 or less).<\/p>\n<p>As far as development goes there is a new critical path analysis feature and over twice as fast NVIDIA CUDA Compiler Driver (NVCC) compilation speed.<\/p>\n<p>We will be discussing more about the CUDA Toolkit 8 after the official release.
