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… Read More
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… Read More
[Update] Blog post updated for factual accuracy 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 is now generations-old technology – the rover was meant to last six months and is… Read More

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… Read More
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… Read More
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… Read More
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… Read More
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… Read More
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… Read More
