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”…

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…
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…
The GPU computing poster board brigade has arrived at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, home of NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC). GPUs are typically associated with gaming PCs, mobile phones and video game consoles. But GPU technology has come a long way, and its impact is becoming much more widespread. For proof, you need…
Next week’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) will be 2012’s go-to event to learn about the most important GPU technologies in use today. Close to 300 educational sessions will offer insights on everything from molecular dynamics to algorithms & numerical techniques. One session that’s drawing significant early interest is the Inside Kepler session, being held on…
What if every university had a computing cluster capable of delivering a petaflop of performance (equivalent to about 20,000 typical laptops)? Better yet, what if every university department – biology, chemistry, physics, and others – had one? I’m certain that this would fundamentally increase the pace of scientific discovery around the world. “We will award…
If you’re in Vegas this week at the annual NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show, swing by our booth, where we’re highlighting GPU technologies that are transforming the broadcast, digital film and post-production industries. We’re joined by more than 40 partners showcasing their NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla-accelerated applications. These new solutions are making dramatic improvements…
Today, we added four outstanding research and academic leaders to the CUDA Fellows Program, which recognizes individuals committed to championing the adoption and use of the CUDA architecture and GPU computing. The new Fellows are: Lorena Barba, Boston University Manuel Ujaldón, University of Malaga Scott Le Grand, Amazon.com Inc. Takayuki Aoki, Tokyo Tech These new…
[Update] Blog post updated Computational scientists and researchers the world over are experiencing growing pains these days with high performance computing (HPC) applications. They want to squeeze more performance from applications. But, they quickly find that the applications don’t scale with the addition of extra CPU cores or cluster compute nodes (servers). CPU-based clusters just…
