Performance Analysis
The FP16 dense rating of 2250 TFLOPS on the B200 exceeds the FP32 rating of 8.9 TFLOPS on the GTX 1080. This difference supports faster matrix operations during training and inference when workloads use dense FP16 precision on the B200. The FP32 rating of 75 TFLOPS on the B200 provides over eight times the throughput of the 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 rating on the GTX 1080. Memory bandwidth of 8000 GB/s on the B200 versus 320 GB/s on the GTX 1080 permits larger batch sizes in memory intensive tasks. The FP16 rating with sparsity of 4500 TFLOPS on the B200 further widens the gap when sparsity applies compared to the GTX 1080 FP32 rating.
