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.

The convergence of CG computing and visualization has arrived.

July 28, 2009

How does the world change when you can see what you’re thinking? | jonpeddie.com

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.
