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…

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…
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…
We thought you might be interested in getting a peek at how a keynote address is powered at GTC. Back stage in the keynote hall, it’s a world of screens and wires, the digital guts of modern presentations. And technicians dressed in black, often with headsets, who are under staggering pressure once the curtain goes…
When the massive Titan supercomputer goes live this fall at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), it will be positioned to take the title as the world’s fastest supercomputer to the U.S. That makes for great headlines, but, as researchers shared during a session at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) Tuesday, Titan’s impact will be a…
