After a grueling five-day battle, three teams emerged as winners in the first annual Asia Student Cluster Challenge (ACS13). One even beat the power-efficiency record set by the current Green500 leader. Their secret sauce: NVIDIA Tesla K20 accelerators.
Our annual Investor Day conference in Santa Clara packed a few surprises for the 90-plus attendees and many hundreds listening in on the webcast of the event. Headlines were made by news that NVIDIA will be returning $1 billion to shareholders over the rest of this fiscal year, in addition to the $200 million returned… Read More
Trying to determine the origins and fate of the universe is important work with far-reaching implications. But cosmologists, unlike their counterparts in other scientific fields, can’t do hands-on experiments to test their hypotheses. “The only way we can check our theories is through numerological simulations,” Claudio Gheller, a computational scientist at the Swiss National Supercomputing… Read More
Stretch a strand of human DNA out to its full length and it’s two meters long. Yet all that material – and the information it carries – gets balled up inside the nucleus of a single human cell. That’s more than a just remarkable feat of biological origami, explained Erez Lieberman-Aiden in a keynote speech… Read More
Ask any weatherman: Predicting the weather is not easy. Throw in Switzerland’s many diverse microclimates and topographical features and the challenge is even greater. The Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS), one of Europe’s top institutions for computational research, plans to change that by applying a petaflop of GPU-accelerated processing power to the problem. CSCS is… Read More
There are some 400 technical talks lined up for next week’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC), but few will be as topical as Ed Karrels’. The Santa Clara University researcher announced today – on Pi Day, which corresponds with 3/14 on the calendar – that he’s just broken the record for calculating pi, taking the classic… Read More
Hedge Connection will join several dozen other companies sharing their ideas at the Emerging Companies Summit, at the fourth annual GPU Technology Conference, to be held in San Jose, Calif., next March. Video gamers rely on GPUs to deliver dazzling fast-twitch action. Scientists use banks of GPUs to simulate reactor cores and predict changes in… Read More
The GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2013 is less than six weeks away. Once again, the world’s #1 event on accelerated computing will showcase scientific and engineering breakthroughs made possible by GPUs. The event runs March 18 to 21 in San Jose, Calif. Featuring hundreds of talks and tutorials on everything from astrophysics to medical imaging… Read More
Booth babes are a dime a dozen at CES. NVIDIA has something better going for it – a Tesla Model S and Audi S7. The sexy sedans, parked front and center at our booth, have helped draw more than a thousand visitors an hour through our booth. The two cars were mobbed by people clambering… Read More
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
Today’s cars aren’t personal computers – they’re far more complicated. Take Audi. Its cars now have more than 200 separate processors. Most of these are micro-controllers, relatively simple electronics, as opposed to a complex systems-on-a-chip, such as NVIDIA Tegra. Two years ago, NVIDIA was tapped to provide processors that power the infotainment system found in the… Read More
