New Nvidia GPU architecture to take inspiration from the stars

It’s looking like Nvidia will be turning to the names of famous scientists again when it comes to codenaming its next major microarchitecture. With the likes of Alan Turing, Nikola Tesla, and Grace Hopper already celebrated via Nvidia GPU architecture names, the next celebrant in line looks set to be renowned astronomer, Vera Rubin, if leaked information is to be believed.

This architecture wouldn’t be used in gaming GPUs as deployed inside the best graphics cards of the world, but would instead be for AI and data center GPUs. Nonetheless, it’s wonderful to see the company acknowledge the work of a woman that pioneered our understanding of galaxies.
