A Fermi benchmark of sorts...

[Talonman]

Fermi can run 16 compute kernels in parallel, one per core.

Thanks,

That is still a bit confusing for me.
(I need a more direct answer.)

Fermi will also have 1.5GB of memory, and is made up of 3.0 billion transistors and features 512 CUDA processing cores organized into 16 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors) of 32 cores each.

So in theory, 16 X 32 Cores each = 512 GPU Folding instances on (1) Fermi?

-or-

16 X 512 total Cores = 8,192 GPU Folding instances on (1) Fermi? (Sounds a tad high to me.)

-or-

16 GPU Folding instances total on (1) Fermi, with each instance being processed on 32 Cores.
