Life Electric battery. It creates an idealistic third pole, located between the Faro Voltiano and the Tempio Voltiano, both attributed to the battery inventor, Alessandro Volta. The sculpture is designed to suggest connections among three of the five natural elements: light, wind and water. Libeskind's artwork aims to create geometries that connects the sky, lake and mountains, elements that typify the Lake Como landscape; the interaction between these three elements produces a monumental geometric power, as a metaphor for Volta’s electric power. The structure is made of calendared steel, coated by 316,6 mm thick steel panels. The illumination consists of a led
Volta (microarchitecture) 2018. Volta is also reported to be included in the Summit and Sierra supercomputers, used for GPGPU compute. The Volta GPUs will connect to the POWER9 CPUs via NVLink 2.0, which is expected to support cache coherency and therefore improve GPGPU performance. 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
