Asymmetric Computing: Days of Cheap GPU Computing may be over

Reposted from my Asymmetric Computing blog.

For those of us interested in GPU computing, Greg Pfister has written an interesting article entitled “Nvidia-based Cheap Supercomputing Coming to an End” commenting on the future of NVIDIA’s supercomputing technology that has been subsidized by gamers and commodity GPUs. It looks like Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture may end . . . → Read More: Asymmetric Computing: Days of Cheap GPU Computing may be over

Added Hiperwall Description

I added a description of Hiperwall.

New bio

I added a new biographical summary to the “About me” page. It covers my work at Northrop Grumman, UCI, and Hiperwall Inc.

The History of HIPerWall:Hardware and Architecture

Once we won the NSF grant to develop HIPerWall, we had to decide the exact details of the hardware to purchase and nail down the hardware and software architecture. We knew that we wanted high-resolution flat panel monitors driven by powerful computers connected via a Gigabit Ethernet switch. We also knew that we did not . . . → Read More: The History of HIPerWall:Hardware and Architecture

The History of HIPerWall:Origins

This is my attempt to relate the history of the Highly Interactive Parallelized display Wall (HIPerWall) research project that led to the development of some of the highest resolution tiled display walls in the world and eventually led to Hiperwall Inc., which commercialized the technology. This is the first part of several that will explore . . . → Read More: The History of HIPerWall:Origins
