After a grueling five-day battle, three teams emerged as winners in the first annual Asia Student Cluster Challenge (ACS13). One even beat the power-efficiency record set by the current Green500 leader. Their secret sauce: NVIDIA Tesla K20 accelerators.
We’re putting computing graduate research into high gear again with this year’s NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program. The NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program awards $25,000 to Ph.D. students involved in computer research. The aim is to help students continue researching ways to use GPUs to tackle complex computing challenges in industries such as medical imaging, space exploration,… Read More
Every few years we’re reminded of how devastating earthquakes can be. Two years ago, a 9.0-magitude earthquake off the east coast of Japan killed more than 15,000 people and caused over $200 billion worth of damage. A year earlier, 200,000-plus died from a quake in Haiti. In 2004, a massive temblor in Indonesia killed an… Read More
Trying to determine the origins and fate of the universe is important work with far-reaching implications. But cosmologists, unlike their counterparts in other scientific fields, can’t do hands-on experiments to test their hypotheses. “The only way we can check our theories is through numerological simulations,” Claudio Gheller, a computational scientist at the Swiss National Supercomputing… Read More
Stretch a strand of human DNA out to its full length and it’s two meters long. Yet all that material – and the information it carries – gets balled up inside the nucleus of a single human cell. That’s more than a just remarkable feat of biological origami, explained Erez Lieberman-Aiden in a keynote speech… Read More
Ask any weatherman: Predicting the weather is not easy. Throw in Switzerland’s many diverse microclimates and topographical features and the challenge is even greater. The Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS), one of Europe’s top institutions for computational research, plans to change that by applying a petaflop of GPU-accelerated processing power to the problem. CSCS is… Read More
There are some 400 technical talks lined up for next week’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC), but few will be as topical as Ed Karrels’. The Santa Clara University researcher announced today – on Pi Day, which corresponds with 3/14 on the calendar – that he’s just broken the record for calculating pi, taking the classic… Read More
Reviews are in for the newly launched GeForce GTX TITAN: “Awe-inspiring performance” (AnandTech), “Beautifully engineered product” (TechRadar), “Head, shoulders and knees above its compatriots” (HardwareCanucks). So, gamers everywhere will shove and fight to be first in line to get a hold of one. That is, unless CUDA developers beat them to it. As it happens,… Read More
Until recently, if you wanted to see NVIDIA’s most far-out GPU technology you had to travel to a secure government facility. Drive deep into the wooded hills of East Tennessee, show your ID to the stone-faced guard, and you’ll gain entrance to a realm with technology so advanced it’s science-fictioney. Turns out that when the… Read More
Surprise! Only a small percentage of scientists use computers for their research. Give me a moment, I can explain. It turns out that even though a lot of folks carry a powerful computer in their pockets (their smartphone), the use of computers in basic scientific research has so far been fairly limited. Of course, scientists… Read More
The GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2013 is less than six weeks away. Once again, the world’s #1 event on accelerated computing will showcase scientific and engineering breakthroughs made possible by GPUs. The event runs March 18 to 21 in San Jose, Calif. Featuring hundreds of talks and tutorials on everything from astrophysics to medical imaging… Read More
