Does TensorFlow use CUDA or tensor cores?

The TensorFlow container includes support for Tensor Cores starting in Volta’s architecture, available on Tesla V100 GPUs. Tensor Cores deliver up to 12x higher peak TFLOPs for training. The container enables Tensor Core math by default; therefore, any models containing convolutions or matrix multiplies using the tf.

What are Nvidia tensor cores used for?

Nvidia has come up with DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) which, as of DLSS 2.0, now uses those tensor cores to upscale lower-resolution images to higher resolution ones with stunning results.

What are tensor cores in GPU?

Tensor Cores accelerate matrix operations, which are foundational to AI, and perform mixed-precision matrix multiply and accumulate calculations in a single operation. With hundreds of Tensor Cores operating in parallel in one NVIDIA Quadro GPU, this enables massive increases in throughput and efficiency.

Do I need CUDA for Tensorflow?

You will need an NVIDIA graphics card that supports CUDA, as TensorFlow still only officially supports CUDA (see here: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu). If you are on Linux or macOS, you can likely install a pre-made Docker image with GPU-supported TensorFlow. This makes life much easier.

Does DLSS 1.0 use tensor cores?

DLSS is powered by dedicated AI processors on RTX GPUs called Tensor Cores.
