How many 'CUDA cores' does each multiprocessor of a GPU have?

Question

I know that devices before the Fermi architecture had 8 SPs in a single multiprocessor. Is the count same in Fermi architecture?

Answer 1

The number of Multiprocessors (MP) and the number of cores per MP can be found by executing DeviceQuery.exe. It is found in the %NVSDKCOMPUTE_ROOT%/C/bin directory of the GPU Computing SDK installation.

A look at the code of DeviceQuery (found in %NVSDKCOMPUTE_ROOT%/C/src/DeviceQuery) reveals that it the number of cores is calculated by passing the x.y CUDA Capability numbers to the ConvertSMVer2Cores utility function.

From the code of ConvertSMVer2Cores this relationship between the capability and core count can be seen:

Capability	Cores
10	8
11	8
12	8
13	8
20	32
21	48
