Abstract Ultra-high power lasers are becoming important tools for advancing high-field physics and fusion research. However, their development is constrained by the damage thresholds of conventional optical components; it is challenging to design optical elements capable of withstanding high powers without them becoming impractically large.

It wasn’t so long ago that the RTX 2080 Ti was the top desktop-grade GPU for Deep Learning (DL) on the market. However, this changed when the Titan RTX came out recently with better performance, a lot more VRAM (24 GB) and a hefty price tag of $2500. In this article, we’ll be taking a look at the new Turing GPU architecture, specifically Titan RTX, and how good it is for deep learning (DL) workloads.
