Streaming Multiprocessor
Core execution block where warps are scheduled and tensor pipelines execute.
Hardware / Architecture
Streaming Multiprocessor
The SM is the main architectural unit in modern GPUs. This page summarizes the key hardware blocks that matter most for AI and inference performance tuning.
Tensor Cores
Specialized matrix units for BF16/FP16/FP8 workloads and high-throughput AI kernels.
Memory Hierarchy
Registers, shared memory, L2, and HBM/GDDR bandwidth shape achievable performance.
