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
Al Enger has been a busy man. Enger is one of a crew of Cray engineers who have been working to assemble a massive new supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. It’s called Titan. There are a lot of ways to measure Titan’s size. The machine is about as big as a… Read More
Talk about agile business and eyes glaze over. Talk about what real businesses are doing, and things get more interesting. Here’s one example: Toyota Boshoku, which builds interior systems for car makers. The company has engineers scattered all over the world. Toyota Boshoku didn’t want to make engineers working on different machines, in different offices,… Read More
Nearly one-third of the top 50 supercomputers in Russia, including the two fastest systems, get most of their computing capability from NVIDIA <a href=”http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla-supercomputing-solutions.html”>Tesla GPUs</a>, according to the latest Top50 Russian supercomputers list from the Russian Supercomputing Consortium. Russia has been making large investments in high performance computing to fuel the growth of its economy… Read More
With a $6.9 billion annual budget, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is the top U.S. government agency promoting breakthroughs in science and engineering by sponsoring programs in research and education. And now scientists and researchers in the NSF community are turning to GPU computing and the OpenACC directives-based programming model help advance this mission. Recognizing… Read More
We promised that the Kepler-based NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU – first unveiled in May at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) – would be the highest-performance processor the HPC industry has ever seen. One reason: support for a technology called “Dynamic Parallelism,” that can speed up a wide range of tasks. Dynamic Parallelism allows the GPU… Read More
We said the Kepler architecture-based NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU would be the highest performance processor the HPC industry has ever seen when we unveiled it at the GPU Technology Conference in May. But recent performance tests on real-world scientific applications show that the forthcoming GPU easily surpasses even our highest expectations. This GPU simply rocks!… Read More
The number of Sixteen new CUDA centers in eight countries – from Croatia to Colombia – have recently been welcomed, bringing the grand total to 207. They’re doing research in areas such as DualSPHysics, cloud computing and protein misfolding diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and mad cow disease. CUDA Teaching Centers equip tens of thousands of… Read More
[Update] 6/22/2012: Blog post edited and video removed. The 27th International Supercomputing Conference (ISC’12) is in full swing, with several scientific research developments unveiled as being powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich, which hosts one of Europe’s largest and most powerful supercomputing resources, the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, is using GPUs to accelerate advanced neurological… Read More
