  • Publication number: 20140132611
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and a method for data transmission. The system includes: a plurality of graphics processing units; a global shared memory for storing data transmitted among the plurality of graphics processing units; an arbitration circuit module, which is coupled to each of the plurality of graphics processing units and the global shared memory and configured to arbitrate an access request to the global shared memory from respective graphics processing units to avoid an access conflict among the plurality of graphics processing units. The system and the method for data transmission provided by the present invention enable respective GPUs in the system to transmit data through the global shared memory rather than a PCIE interface, thus saving data transmission bandwidth significantly and further improving a computing speed.

  • Publication number: 20130124902
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a circuit and method for monitoring graphics processing unit (GPU) socket degradation is provided. One embodiment comprises: monitoring a voltage delta between a NVVDD voltage conduction point and a NVVDD voltage direct-detection point in a GPU socket; and determining whether the voltage delta is more than a predetermined value. With the present embodiment, the surveillance of the GPU socket degradation can be realized, avoiding continuing to use the GPU socket when it is overly degraded.
