Other prominent physicists include: Amedeo Avogadro (most noted for his contributions to molecular theory, in particular the Avogadro's law and the Avogadro constant), Evangelista Torricelli (inventor of barometer), Alessandro Volta (inventor of electric battery), Guglielmo Marconi (inventor of radio), Galileo Ferraris and Antonio Pacinotti, pioneers of the induction motor, Alessandro Cruto, pioneer of light bulb and Innocenzo Manzetti, eclectic pioneer of auto and robotics, Ettore Majorana (who discovered the Majorana fermions), Carlo Rubbia (1984 Nobel
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
