Even though NVIDIA employees are active in charitable activities throughout the year, they always seem to kick it up a notch during the holiday season. Our US field offices participate in corporate food drives for low income families, competing against much larger companies and usually bringing home the top trophy. Some of our APAC offices… Read More
Periodically, we’re using nTersect to profile some of the companies that participated in the 2009 Emerging Companies Summit, starting with the five winners of our “Ones to Watch” award. You can learn more about innovative companies that use NVIDIA’s GPU technology in the GPU Ventures Zone. Google has such a successful search engine, it’s easy… Read More
One of the things that always impresses me when I attend a LAN Party like GeForce LAN or Quakecon is the huge amount of high quality case mods I always see in the BYOC section. Some of these systems can take hundreds of hours to put together and end up costing many thousands of dollars… Read More
Andy Keane, general manager of NVIDIA’s Tesla business wrapped up SC09. “SC09 was a huge show for NVIDIA GPUs. Walking around the show floor, Tesla is everywhere, in clusters, in OEM booths and in demos being shown in dozens of research booths,” said Keane. “Our booth theater was a big hit with attendees. Our presenters… Read More
In his presentation at NVIDIA’s SC09 booth, Dr. Jack Dongarra, described his latest research and how he views the evolving HPC architecture. At the University of Tennessee, Dongarra has expanded his research from traditional HPC computers with multi-core CPUs to hybrid computers that include GPU accelerators— where the GPU and CPU cooperate in a coprocessing… Read More
Researchers at NASA want to get a better understanding of what happens when galaxies collide. At SC09, NASA demonstrated the computation and visualization of dust grain equilibrium temperatures using NVIDIA GPUs. When calculating the infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies in radiation-transfer models, the computation of dust grain temperatures is generally the most time-consuming… Read More
It’s official! With U.S. Patent no. 7609272, NVIDIA hit a major milestone – 1,000 patents – and the company’s rich IP portfolio continues to grow in strength. The patent, which was awarded October 27, is for an invention that makes the pixel processing pipeline faster and more efficient. In particular, it helps the shader process… Read More
In the NVIDIA booth yesterday, we had a chance to hear from Klaus Schulten and John Stone from the University of Illinois. They demonstrated how they use NVIDIA GPUs with NAMD and VMD research software to simulate and visualize cell structures. Their research focuses on a variety of health issues but one important aspect of… Read More
In his talk in NVIDIA’s theater, Ross Walker described the research being done by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and how NVIDIA GPUs are helping with this research. The SDSC team performs research on biomolecules, biofuels, and flu viruses. “My current research is directed towards developing new molecular dynamics techniques for studying protein reactivity… Read More
In his talk to a packed crowd at SC09 today, Jeffrey Vetter (Oakridge National Labs researcher and professor at Georgia Tech) described the upcoming Keeneland system. The Keeneland Project is a grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the deployment of an experimental high performance system. According to Vetter, the Georgia Institute of Technology… Read More
