[ GPU COMPUTE ACCELERATORS // IDENTIFIED COMPONENT ]
NVIDIA Tesla K20X 6 GB compute accelerator
GK110 / Kepler HPC, 2012. This entry identifies one model or reference configuration; related products and OEM variants are distinguished below.
MODEL / VARIANT: K20X is distinct from K20 and K20c; memory capacity, board design and firmware differ. Legacy CUDA driver/toolkit support constrains usable host software.
Recorded specifications
| Cataloged product | NVIDIA Tesla K20X 6 GB compute accelerator |
|---|---|
| Generation / core | GK110 / Kepler HPC, 2012 |
| Core & memory | GK110; 2688 CUDA cores; 6 GB GDDR5 ECC; 250 W board power; peak FP64 capability is substantially higher than gaming Kepler variants. |
| Host interface & I/O | PCI Express 3.0 x16; passive dual-slot server card with no display outputs; requires directed chassis airflow and server power cabling. |
| Variant boundary | K20X is distinct from K20 and K20c; memory capacity, board design and firmware differ. Legacy CUDA driver/toolkit support constrains usable host software. |
| Archival identification | Record full part number, PCB or module revision, BIOS/firmware, device/subsystem IDs, driver version, adapters, physical condition and source-document edition. |
Compatibility, service & archival notes
NVIDIA Tesla K20X board performance and memory are not interchangeable with lower-tier K20 specifications.
Verify server airflow shroud and power harness; inspect heatsink, serial label and ECC status. Confirm exact supported CUDA/driver branch before deployment.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
