Nvidia Makes Arm A Peer To X86 And Power For GPU Acceleration

June 17, 2019 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

Creating the Tesla GPU compute platform has taken Nvidia the better part of a decade and a half, and it has culminated in a software stack comprised of various HPC and AI frameworks, the CUDA parallel programming environment, compilers from Nvidia’s PGI division and their OpenACC extensions as well as open source GCC compilers, and various other tools that together account for tens of millions of lines of code and tens of thousands of individual APIs. …

The Still Expanding Market For GPU Compute

March 21, 2019 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

At this point in the history of the IT business, it is a foregone conclusion that accelerated computing, perhaps in a more diverse manner than many of us anticipated, is the future both in the datacenter and at the edge. …

The Computing Needs Of Earth Are Not Yet Satisfied

February 14, 2019 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

To a certain way of looking at it, Nvidia has always been engaged in the high performance computing business and it has always been subject to the same kinds of cyclical waves that affect makers of supercomputers and enterprise systems. …

Turning The CPU-GPU Hybrid System On Its Head

November 16, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

Sales of various kinds of high performance computing – not just technical simulation and modeling applications, but also cryptocurrency mining, massively multiplayer gaming, video rendering, visualization, machine learning, and data analytics – run on little boom-bust cycles that make it difficult for all suppliers to this market to make projections when they look ahead. …

Nvidia Takes On The Inference Hordes With Turing GPUs

September 12, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

When it comes to machine learning, a lot of the attention in the past six years has focused on the training of neural networks and how the GPU accelerator radically improved the accuracy of networks, thanks to its large memory bandwidth and parallel compute capacity relative to CPUs. …
