Rewrite from scratch

This article needs to be rewritten, to be more like the Kepler (microarchitecture) article. The Maxwell (microarchitecture) article is a rather bad example. Possible sources besides Nvidia:

Streaming Multiprocessor "Pascal"

One "Streaming Multiprocessor" corresponds to one Compute Unit. An SMP encompasses 64 CUDA cores (Maxwell = 128, Kepler = 192).

  • Each SMP (Streaming Multiprocessor "Pascal") has 64 CUDA cores (Maxwell = 128, Kepler = 192)
  • L2 Cache Size of 4096 KiB (Maxwell = 3072 KiB, Kepler = 1536 KiB)
  • The Register file size of the entire GP100 GPU is 14336 KiB (Kepler = 3840 KiB, Maxwell = 6144 KiB) User:ScotXWt@lk 18:05, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

GP104 L1 cache is 48KB, add that in the cache chart, you can read such specification in the GTX 1080 white paper

Please fix typo by changing "Pascall" to "Pascal". Tobysharp (talk) 13:35, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Processor registers

The article Processor register#CUDA contains some interesting claims but without a citation! These claims regarding the number of registers/register file size belong into this article as well, and with citation! I once stumbled upon such at least for the GP100 chip comparing it some Maxwell-based chip. User:ScotXWt@lk 08:32, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
