Description

The NVIDIA Tesla P40 is a data center accelerator aimed at deep learning. It pairs moderate compute throughput with 24 GB of memory and is obtainable on the secondary market by individual operators.

Scope

A single Tesla P40 offers 4.7×10^13 dense INT8 operations per second (≈47 INT8 TOPS).

Total compute: 4.7×10^13 INT8 operations per second.

Implications

The card’s large memory helps run sizable models on personal hardware, but its compute is far behind modern accelerators. Individuals can experiment with training and inference without renting cloud GPUs, though workloads remain limited.
