Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) of NVIDIA GPUs are roughly analogous to the cores of CPUs. That is, SMs both execute computations and store state available for computation in registers, …

The basic building block of a GPU is called a streaming multiprocessor (SM) on NVIDIA GPUs or a compute unit (CU) on AMD GPUs (they're the same idea and we'll refer to them both as SM).

On the GPU, a kernel call is executed by one or more streaming multiprocessors, or SMs. The SMs are the hardware homes of the CUDA cores that execute the threads.

2025年12月2日 · The NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture’s Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) provides the following improvements over Volta and Turing. 1.4.1.1. Occupancy. The maximum number …

2025年9月30日 · Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) in NVIDIA GPUs act like the cores in CPUs, handling computations and holding state in registers with caches nearby. But unlike beefy CPU …

A fundamental unit of GPU is a streaming processor (SP). This provides the capability to fetch a single instruction from memory and carry it out on different data sets in parallel.

2025年9月20日 · Modern GPUs achieve their massive parallel performance through Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs). An SM is the fundamental compute block of the GPU, containing …

At the heart of a GPU's parallel processing capabilities lie Stream Multiprocessors (SMs), which are the individual processing units responsible for executing tasks concurrently.

2021年10月26日 · A warp is a collection of threads that all share the same code and are all executed simultaneously by a Streaming Multiprocessor (SM). Multiple warps can be executed …
