Tensor Cores

Post by oilyfishhead »

Does FAHCore use the Tensor cores in the Nvidia T4 or just the Cuda cores?

OpenCL only provides partial support for Tensor cores so no, I do not believe FAH uses the tensor cores.

As I recall, the Tensor cores are 16-bit, the GPU folding core for F@h uses mostly 32-bit calculations with some 64-bit calculations. So the answer is no for the FAHCore_21 or FAHCore_22 cores.
