OVERVIEW

The NVIDIA® Tesla® K10 graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerator is a PCI Express,
double-wide, full height (4.376 inches by 10.5 inches by 1.52 inches) form factor
computing module comprising two NVIDIA GK104 GPUs. The Tesla K10 offers a total
of 8 GB of GDDR5 on-board memory (4 GB per GPU) and supports PCI Express Gen3.

The Tesla K10 can be configured by the OEM or by the end user to enable or disable
ECC or error correcting codes that can fix single-bit errors and detect double-bit errors.
Enabling ECC will cause some of the memory to be used for the ECC bits, so the user
available memory will decrease by 10%. On the Tesla K10 the ECC protection is for
DRAM only.

KEY FEATURES
