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
Hedge Connection will join several dozen other companies sharing their ideas at the Emerging Companies Summit, at the fourth annual GPU Technology Conference, to be held in San Jose, Calif., next March. Video gamers rely on GPUs to deliver dazzling fast-twitch action. Scientists use banks of GPUs to simulate reactor cores and predict changes in… Read More
Another 10 institutions from six countries were added this past quarter to our roster of CUDA Research Centers and CUDA Teaching Centers, bringing the total to 238. Work being done at the ten new centers includes three-dimensional genome sequencing for cancer research, graphics and numeric programming, and design of programming and runtime systems for heterogeneous… 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
NVIDIA’s GPUs have helped the new supercomputer at the Cineca facility in Italy hit an unprecedented milestone for energy efficiency. And in doing so, it is able to deliver 1,500 tons less CO2 output than a comparable CPU-based system.
As a Chilean scientist living abroad, I’m always thinking about how my work can be relevant in Latin America. Research funds can be scarce, even if demand for consumer products such as personal computers and mobile phones is surging there. So the idea that consumer technology can be used to drive scientific research—one long championed… Read More
Got an NVIDIA GeForce GPU under the tree? You might want to unwrap that present early. Every Christmas Eve, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) reports on the whereabouts of Santa Claus on “NORAD Tracks Santa,” at www.noradsanta.org, as the jolly elf makes his rounds delivering presents to the world’s children. This year’s NORAD Santa Tracker… Read More
Since we launched the Tesla K20 GPU accelerators at the Supercomputing 2012 (SC12) show in November, researchers have been eagerly waiting to get their hands on them. To benchmark the new Kepler GPUs on real-world scientific applications, we offered a number of researchers using our last-generation Fermi GPUs early access to the new Tesla K20… Read More
Do you play a little more “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” than you’d care to admit? Got a ridiculously powerful GPU? When you’re not defending your nation from bad guys, maybe you’ll want to donate a little of that computing power to help advance the fight against AIDS. Using GPUGrid.net – a volunteer distributed-computing… Read More

This week it became official: the Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee was crowned the fastest computer on Earth, according to the Top500 list released this week that tracks these systems. Titan is so quick that Buddy Bland, the project director for the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, calls it a “time machine.”… Read More
Nearly two dozen more universities and research institutions were added this past quarter to our roster of CUDA Research Centers and CUDA Teaching Centers, bringing the total to 229. The work being done at the 22 new CUDA centers in eight countries includes sparse numerical linear algebra, heterogeneous computing, astrophysical fluid dynamics and next generation… Read More
