Better Batting with CUDA: How GPU-based Brain Research Helped Japanese Robot Swing for the Fences

The human cerebellum is a mysterious thing. Responsible for motor control, it’s the reason why we can walk, run, or learn to hit a baseball without having to consciously think through the mechanics of what we’re doing. These are some of the tasks that robots – with their ‘electronic’ brains – struggle with most. Now… Read More

NVIDIA CEO: You Bring the Devices, We’ll Bring the Graphics

Enterprise computing is in a state of upheaval, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang told a standing-room only crowd of hundreds at the annual RTT Excite conference in Munich, sponsored by RTT, a leading company in high-end 3D visualization. Employees are ditching company-issued black-and-grey boxes for their own devices. They’re swapping heavy laptops and deskbound workstations for… Read More

Snow Falling On Silicon: A Norwegian Uses GPUs to Simulate Flurries

Fact is, computer scientists sometimes just like to play with technology. Such was Anne Elster’s motivation when she resolved several years ago to start working on real-time snow simulations. It’s probably important to point out that Elster, who was talking about her work at the GPU Technology Conference, is an associate professor at the Norwegian… Read More
