NVIDIA’s Pascal GPUs spell the end of ‘offload mode is required’ for accelerators

April 5, 2016 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

Today at the 2016 GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced the first of a new line of Pascal architecture GPUs- the P100. Jen-Hsun noted that the P100 GPUs are in volume production now, but the initial production runs have already been purchased. Consumers should look to first run on the P100 GPUs in the cloud. While Jen-Hsun's keynote focused … [Read more...]

Kriging Interpolation Exhibits Strong Scaling Across GPUs

January 17, 2015 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

Geostatistical interpolation (Kriging) can be useful in a great number of applications where high fidelity models are required for mapping spatial effects and making predictions based on observations. It is widely utilized in the domain of spatial analysis and computer experiments and heavily used by the US  Air Force and GIS services. The following images by Yang, et. al. … [Read more...]

CUDA 7 For Registered Developers – LAPACK Dense Solvers 3-6x faster than MKL

January 13, 2015 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

The CUDA Toolkit 7.0 Release Candidate (RC) is now available to members of NVIDIA’s free registered developer program. Especially interesting is the claim of 3-6x faster LAPACK dense solvers over MKL (The Intel Math Kernel Library). C++11 support makes it easier for C++ developers to accelerate their applications Write less code with ‘auto’ and ‘lambda’, especially when … [Read more...]

Automatically Caption Images With Neural Networks and Vector Space Math

December 4, 2014 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

Imagine a magic algorithm that can create captions that accurately describe an image. The Google authors of, "Show and Tell: A Neural Image Caption Generator" claim to have created a machine-learning algorithm that approaches human-accuracy. If true, the value is clear as conventional text-based search methods can include relevant images as well as text. machine-translation … [Read more...]

MultiOS Gaming, Media, and OpenCL Using XenGT Virtual Machines On Shared Intel GPUs

December 1, 2014 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

At last, a full (opensource!) GPU virtualization solution that allows virtualized guest operating systems to "own" a shared Intel GPU yet allows applications to run with near-native performance! This means games, both DRM and free media, plus OpenCL applications can  run in separate guest operating systems on a single Intel GPU system (convenient for users) or in a shared cloud … [Read more...]
