Since we launched the Tesla K20 GPU accelerators at the Supercomputing 2012 (SC12) show in November, researchers have been eagerly waiting to get their hands on them. To benchmark the new Kepler GPUs on real-world scientific applications, we offered a number of researchers using our last-generation Fermi GPUs early access to the new Tesla K20… Read More

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
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
Two weeks ago, we posed an open-ended question to the research community: What scientific problems would you tackle with a petaflop supercomputer? Today, we reveal the three proposals selected to win exclusive early access to an NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU. Contest entries came in from hundreds of researchers around the world. Their proposals ranged from… Read More
