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
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
Have you ever hit a screw with a hammer because you didn’t have a screwdriver at hand? No? Me neither. Each job requires using the right tool for the best results. In high-performance computing or for “big data” and hosting applications, the main job is maximizing throughput. In this case, you need the right processor… 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
The International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, Germany, is a great place to connect with the European and Asian high performance computing (HPC) communities, and ISC’12 was a milestone event for NVIDIA. It’s hard to overstate the impact Tesla GPUs and CUDA have had on the HPC market since their launch five years ago. In… Read More
More and more these days, GPUs are helping institutions navigate troubled financial waters. Guest author Pierre Spatz gives his insight into how his firm, Murex, is using GPUs to analyze markets and better monitor risk. These have been turbulent times for financial markets. The recent crisis reduced the appetite for some “toxic” exotic products, but… 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
At Europe’s most important supercomputing show, International Supercomputing Conference (held in beautiful Hamburg, Germany), NVIDIA and Forschungszentrum Jülich shared news today of a new multiyear collaboration to drive the future of GPU computing. As an IEEE-recognized global conference and exhibition for high performance computing, networking and storage, ISC enables industry leaders to explore new ways to… Read More
