Core
The cores are the primary compute units that make up the Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) .
The internal architecture of an H100 GPU's Streaming Multiprocessors. CUDA and Tensor Cores are shown in green. Modified from NVIDIA's H100 white paper .
Examples of GPU core types include CUDA Cores and Tensor Cores .
Though GPU cores are comparable to CPU cores in that they are the component that effects actual computations, this analogy can be misleading. The SMs are closer to being the equivalent of CPU cores.
