The third GPU Technology Conference (GTC) ended Thursday much as it began – with a jam-packed keynote session, standing-room only break-out sessions and a small galaxy of schmooze-fests along the sidelines. Indeed, the final sessions were as crowded as those on the morning of Day One. NVIDIA used the event – which is designed to…
Two weeks ago, we posed an open-ended question to the research community: What scientific problems would you tackle with a petaflop supercomputer? Today, we reveal the three proposals selected to win exclusive early access to an NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU. Contest entries came in from hundreds of researchers around the world. Their proposals ranged from…

Considering NASA completed multiple missions to the moon more than 40 years ago using the technological equivalent of chicken wire and duct tape, landing a robotic lunar rover with modern technology should be a pushover, right? Not exactly, explained Robert Boehme and Wes Faler, of Part-Time Scientists, during their Day Three keynote address in front…
The 150 million-plus miles from Earth to Mars is the least of the challenges facing researchers who are processing images from a rover on the Red Planet. Consider some others: The rover’s processor, based on generations-old technology, was meant to last six months and is going on its seventh year. Mars provides a very “noisy”…
GTC’s Emerging Companies Summit (ECS) this week showcased nearly three dozen startups from around the world using GPUs to disrupt markets and delight customers. After a day of machine-gun style back-to-back mini-presentations, the event was capped by the announcement of five “One to Watch” awards. Winners raked in more than $20,000 in prizes each. Presenting…
In a fireside chat at GTC with industry analyst Tim Bajarin, NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang shared his vision of the future for everything from mobile devices to cloud computing to startup opportunities. Attendees packed the room to see Jen-Hsun shake out the future of tech That vision centers, in part, on the notion…
Researchers from Tokyo Institute of Technology snagged the first-ever Achievement Award for CUDA Centers of Excellence (CCOE), for their research with TSUBAME 2.0. The team was among three other groups of researchers from CCOE institutions, which include some of the world’s top universities engaged in cutting-edge work with CUDA and GPU computing. Each of the…
Just over the horizon, exascale computing promises 1,000 times more processing power than today’s petascale systems. But there are still many questions about potential challenges and opportunities in the path to exascale. A panel of experts told GTC attendees Wednesday that developing applications capable of leveraging exascale systems will be key to realizing the benefits…
You’d be hard-pressed to find an example of technology with the potential to change the course of humanity more than the one provided by behavioral ecologist Iain Couzin at Wednesday’s GTC keynote address. Couzin, a postdoctoral research fellow at Princeton’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, is conducting research that could help humans not only…
A few short years ago, the LEGO Group—makers of the iconic locking building-block toys so many parents have stepped on in the middle of the night—was plagued by uncontrolled technology sprawl. Various business units within LEGO were purchasing redundant licenses for the same technologies, with each team using the technologies for different purposes. Many business…
