BNP Paribas CIB Uses NVIDIA GPUs to Reduce Supercomputer Environmental Impact
In its efforts to promote Green computing, BNP Paribas Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) announces the implementation of a new GPU-based architecture which simultaneously reduces electricity consumption and accelerates calculation times. A significant portion of the calculations were transferred to a GPU-based platform, allowing a 100-fold increase in the amount of calculation achieved per Watt. This new platform, containing two NVIDIA Tesla S1070 consuming 2kW will replace more than 500 traditional CPU cores consuming 25 kW.Learn More
Dramatically Accelerating the Search For a Cure
Stanford University's Folding@home program has become a major force in researching cures to life-threatening diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and some cancers by combining the computing horsepower of millions of individual processors to simulate protein folding. By running the Folding@home client on an NVIDIA GeForce® GPU, protein-folding simulations can be done 140 times faster than on some of today's traditional CPUs.Learn More
