NVIDIA doubles the memory: 24 Gbytes for the Quadro M6000

NVIDIA has updated its top of the range proposed for the graphics workstation market, bringing the onboard video memory allocation to the record value of 24 Gbytes. Nothing changes on the outside compared to the declination with 12 Gbytes of video memory, and the price remains unchanged even though it is not cheap given the peculiarity of the product: about $ 5,000 plus tax.


We talk about the model M6000 Framework, with the GM200 GPU Maxwell family and subject to a doubling in the video memory allocation that exceeds 16 Gbytes of which is equipped with the competitor AMD FirePro W9100. On several occasions we have reported as a high supply of onboard video memory does not represent significant added value for the purposes of the speed in the consumer proposals aimed at gamers, but it is not at work.

The choice to bring Framework M6000 to 24 Gbytes of video memory is useful in contexts of professional graphics, for which have a frame buffer of this size allows not to run into bottlenecks. Less useful this feature considering the use of this card for GPU computing processing, not because the video memory can not be fully exploited because of the characteristics of the GM200 GPU. Recall how in the proposals of the Maxwell family the computing power in double precision is equal to 1/32 of that in single precision, because of clear choices related to architecture.

Among other innovations of this board we report a new monitoring system and management of the GPU temperature and its clock frequency, which should allow for better management of peak loads remain within the stated TDP of 250 watts for the tab .

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
