Tesla (267 mm length) form factor comprised of a single GK110B GPU. The Tesla K40 is designed for servers and offers a total of 12 GB of GDDR5 on-board memory and supports PCI Express Gen3. The Tesla K40 uses a passive heat sink for cooling.
Some boards in a cluster have access to better cooling than others. By default the Tesla K40 ships with the core clock set to the base clock. HPC workloads can have one or more characteristics as described. When selecting one of the supported boost clocks a good strategy is to characterize the workload with the available boost clocks.
Overview API FOR NVIDIA GPU BOOST ON TESLA Tesla K40 gives full control to end-users to select the core clock frequency via NVML or . NVML is a C-based API for monitoring and managing the various states of nvidia-smi Tesla products. It provides a direct access to submit queries and commands via nvidia- .
To allow “non-root” access to change nvidia-smi -acp 0 graphics clock When using non-default applications clocks, driver persistence mode should be enabled. Persistence mode ensures that the driver stays loaded even when no NVIDIA CUDA ® ® or X applications are running on the GPU. This maintains current state, including requested applications clocks.

The peak current values are characterized over a 1 ms time interval, with 5-sigma confidence. These are values based on characterization data using the TDP application under TDP test conditions. Peak current values may be higher with applications that consume more power than the TDP application. Tesla K40 GPU Accelerator BD-06902-001_v05 | 14...
