Nvidia leaps into supercomputers

October 5, 2009

Nvidia and "Starting the Next Age of Personal Computing" | www.tgdaily.com

Nvidia is in the test of its life with big stakes, big investments, and big risks – Fermi is a hail Mary pass if ever there was one. It’s not as reactionary or impulsive as some have suggested and a plan I think has been in the process for the past three years. Nvidia has been putting the pieces in place for the Fermi product through acquisition,  industry initiatives and setting up the platform. One of Jen Hsun Hung’s strengths is his long range vision and I think you can see it at work here.

Today, with GPU compute the researcher launches the computation in his or her own lab with his or her local supercomputer and with the same machine does the visualizations the way he or she wants them done. Depending on the complexity of the task jobs that took weeks now takes days, jobs that took days can be done in minutes and the time scales are further compressing. Productivity goes up, quality of research goes up, humanity benefits - it is the convergence of compute and viz.

High risk, High Reward: MMOGs as the Next Wave of Entertainment Media

March 20, 2009

Videogame Start-Up Reaches Marvel Pact | online.wsj.com

This article highlights the maturation of virtual worlds and online games as mass-market entertainment via the appeal of existing properties, as shown by Gazillion’s long-term agreement with Marvel and other IP holders.  It also reveals the importance of increasing acquisitions in this space, with smaller studios combining or being bought to form more viable ventures, and the need for strong creative and production teams that can think beyond the existing forms of virtual world and MMOG creation.  Virtual worlds and MMOGs have an extremely bright if still risky future, and are set for resurgence after a few years of stumbling in trying to duplicate the commercial success of World of Warcraft or chase the media success of Second Life.

Microsoft's X-Box Challenge

July 2, 2008

Microsoft reportedly to cut price of Xbox 360 to $299 | news.yahoo.com

There are several key implications from this price move. First of all, the X-Box 360 is not moving well at retail, and there is "push-back" from retail vendors to get the hardware moving again. This lack of movement is causing a slowdown  in software sales, forcing developers and publishers to reconsider longer term planning and will impact X-Box-360 sales even further. Lastly, the world wide demand for the Playstation 3 is on the rise, and Microsoft needs to stimulate the X-Box 360 space. One question, why now?
