The Niger's tributaries – the Béli, Gorouol, Goudébo, and Dargol – are seasonal streams and flow for only four to six months a year. They
Volta (microarchitecture) Volta (microarchitecture) Volta, an Nvidia-developed GPU microarchitecture codename, succeeds Pascal. It was first announced as a future roadmap ambition in March 2013. However the first product was not announced until May 2017. The architecture is named after Alessandro Volta. It was NVIDIA's first chip to feature Tensor cores, specially designed cores that have superior deep learning performance over regular CUDA cores. The first graphics card to use it was the datacentre Tesla V100, e.g. as part of the Nvidia DGX-1 system. It has also been used in the Quadro GV100 and Titan V. There were no mainstream GeForce graphics cards
