I have some code that is compiled and tested on both Tesla and Fermi generation chipsets.

Across all Tesla generation chips (260,280,c1060) the output is consistent.

Across all Fermi generation chips (460-580, c2080) the output is consistent.

However, between the Tesla and Fermi generations the output images are subtley different.

Is this to be expected? There is floating point math in the code, and precision is my first suspicion, but I can’t find any mention of it in Nvidia’s docs.

    In the Fermi Tuning Guide there is a section about IEEE 754-2008 Compliance which states:

    Devices of compute capability 2.x
    have far fewer deviations from the
    IEEE 754-2008 floating point standard
    than devices of compute capability
    1.x, particularly in single precision (Section F.2). This can cause slight
    changes in numeric results between
    devices of compute capability 1.x and
    devices of compute capability 2.x.

    The full document is available in the downloads section of the CUDA website.
