At the GPU Technology Conference in 2010, Jen-Hsun Huang explained; "We found a major breakdown between the models, the tools and reality. So when we first got the first Fermi back, that piece of fabric, so imagine we're all processors, all of us seem to be working. But we can't talk to each other. It's like we're all deaf, we're all mute and deaf. And we found out it's because this connection between us is completely broken. It turns out the reason why the fabric failed isn't because it was hard, but because it sat between the responsibility of two groups. The fabric is complicated in the sense that there's an architectural component there's a logic design component and there's a physics component. My engineers who know physics and my engineers who know architecture are in two different organisations, and so you see this underlap of responsibility... 'is it my job or your job?' If you'd just simply moved it from one side to the other side they'd been more than happy to pick up the slack, but we let it sit right in the middle. 'Let's be both of our jobs'... that's a bad answer."
