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, based on generations-old technology, was meant to last six months and is going on its seventh year. Mars provides a very “noisy”…
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…

GTC’s Emerging Companies Summit (ECS) this week showcased nearly three dozen startups from around the world using GPUs to disrupt markets and delight customers. After a day of machine-gun style back-to-back mini-presentations, the event was capped by the announcement of five “One to Watch” awards. Winners raked in more than $20,000 in prizes each. Presenting…
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…
Our annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC) is just around the corner. And this year, we’ll have some big news to go with the show. GTC 2012 kicks off on May 14 at the San Jose Convention Center, with keynotes, presentations, tutorials and instructional sessions in tow. The greatest minds in the scientific, engineering, research and…
What if every university had a computing cluster capable of delivering a petaflop of performance (equivalent to about 20,000 typical laptops)? Better yet, what if every university department – biology, chemistry, physics, and others – had one? I’m certain that this would fundamentally increase the pace of scientific discovery around the world. “We will award…
If you’re in Vegas this week at the annual NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show, swing by our booth, where we’re highlighting GPU technologies that are transforming the broadcast, digital film and post-production industries. We’re joined by more than 40 partners showcasing their NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla-accelerated applications. These new solutions are making dramatic improvements…
Today, we added four outstanding research and academic leaders to the CUDA Fellows Program, which recognizes individuals committed to championing the adoption and use of the CUDA architecture and GPU computing. The new Fellows are: Lorena Barba, Boston University Manuel Ujaldón, University of Malaga Scott Le Grand, Amazon.com Inc. Takayuki Aoki, Tokyo Tech These new…
[Update] Blog post updated Computational scientists and researchers the world over are experiencing growing pains these days with high performance computing (HPC) applications. They want to squeeze more performance from applications. But, they quickly find that the applications don’t scale with the addition of extra CPU cores or cluster compute nodes (servers). CPU-based clusters just…
Every server manufacturer announced support last week for the new Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs in their new models. That includes PC giant Dell, which announced, for the first time, that it is supporting Tesla GPUs in its mainstream Dell PowerEdge R720 servers. And, our new benchmarks demonstrate why. The PowerEdge R720 is, by far, one…
