it should theoretically work, I think
We don't support ARM CPUs. And the 1TFlop NVIDIA mentions is for half-precision floating point operations. Octane uses single-precision floating point operations and in one place even double-precision.Poodle wrote:Hi Guys Since Tegra X1 has over a teraflop of Power is it possible to run octane on the chip?

Then You would pretty much need a bunch of X1's just to "try" to tie the performance on a Titan, I say this because X1 is quiet and doesnt make any sound, Really NVIDIA can do an ARM chip that performs like a bunch of TITANs, engineers can make this work but they just increase the power a little bit every year to make a lot of profits, otherwise they lose money.
No, that's not correct. The tech that ends up in modern desktop GPUs is derived from mobile GPU technology. At NVIDIA this development started with Kepler and has continued with Maxwell. But if you want the power of a Titan you have to pay the (energy) price. There is no way around it. There are also other things to consider like memory bandwidth, cache sizes, PCIe speeds etc.Poodle wrote:Then You would pretty much need a bunch of X1's just to "try" to tie the performance on a Titan, I say this because X1 is quiet and doesnt make any sound, Really NVIDIA can do an ARM chip that performs like a bunch of TITANs, engineers can make this work but they just increase the power a little bit every year to make a lot of profits, otherwise they lose money.
So in a nutshell: Current GPU technology is pretty good for what it achieves per Watt and if NVIDIA could release the power of a Titan without the effort they do to cool it, they would have done it already.

if They would know how to..they would release that & charge Goooood money for that solution!Poodle wrote:.. Because they haven't release something doesn't mean that they can't do it or know how to.
..if that doesn't exist..that's for a reason..whether it's power consumption, heat or other issues..
