Parallel@Illinois Presents Multicore Vision for Human-Centric Computing (PR Newswire via Yahoo! News)
A human-centric future for consumer computing -- where mobile devices, virtual environments, and anthropomorphic communication interfaces allow humans to seamlessly move between cyber- and physical-spaces -- is possible with the power of multicore parallel computing. A major impediment to this vision is that parallel programming today is remarkably difficult and the domain of a few experts. The ...
Beckman Named Director of Argonne's Leadership Computing Facility (Newswise)
Peter Beckman has been named director of the Leadership Computing Facility at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. The Leadership Computing Facility operates the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), which is home to one of the world's fastest computers for open science, the Blue Gene/P, and is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) effort to provide ...
Quantum computing spins closer (Stanford Report)
By employing ultrafast lasers to rotate the spin of an individual electron, Stanford researchers have come one step closer to fulfilling the promise of quantum computing. They announced their success in a paper published in the journal 'Nature'.
NVIDIA launches personal supercomputer in India (Business Standard India)
NVIDIA, a US-based provider of visual computing technologies, has launched its NVIDIA Tesla personal supercomputer in India. Using parallel processing technology based on the graphics processing unit (GPU), these systems deliver 250 times higher performance than a standard PC workstation.
Graphics Card suits advanced visual computing solutions. (ThomasNet)
To deliver performance and scalability needed for visualizing and interpreting massive datasets, Quadro® FX 5800 offers up to 240 CUDA(TM) programmable parallel cores, 4 Gb graphics memory, and up to 102 Gb/sec memory bandwidth. Fill rates exceed 52 billion texels/sec, and geometry performance is rated at 300 million triangles/sec. In addition to interactive 4D modeling with time lapse ...
Quantum computing spins closer (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) -- The promise of quantum computing is that it will dramatically outshine traditional computers in tackling certain key problems: searching large databases, factoring large numbers, creating uncrackable codes and simulating the atomic structure of materials.
OpenCL for Snow Leopard nearly complete in 6 mos. (MacNN)
Khronos Group and its alliance of associated companies have managed to build the OpenCL programming standard in just six months, according to Macworld. OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a standard for parallel programming, which could serve as the foundation for a variety of devices and applications, without the limitations of platform-dependent or closed architecture....
eXludus Joins HP Multi-Core Optimization Program (Linux World)
eXludus has announced that it has joined the HP Multi-Core Optimization Program. System processor core counts, and associated parallel processing capacity, are increasing. However, most applications are serial designs not capable of effectively using this parallel computing capacity now available to them. Re-writing applications to take full advantage of today’s multi-core systems is a ...
How Time-Traveling Could Affect Quantum Computing (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) -- If space-time were constructed in such a way that you could travel back in time, it would create some pretty strange effects. One of these oddities, as many people know, is the “grandfather paradox.” Here, a person travels back in time to kill their grandfather before the person`s father is born, thus preventing their own birth.
Nvidia Announces "Personal Supercomputer" (OSNews)
Nvidia and partners are offering new "personal supercomputers" for under $10,000. Nvidia, working with several partners, has developed the Tesla Personal Supercomputer, powered by a graphics processing unit based on Nvidia's Cuda parallel computing architecture. Computers using the Tesla C1060 GPU processor will have 250 times the processing power of a typical PC workstation, enabling ...
