Stanford Launches the HIVE
Stanford University announced the HIVE, a state-of-the-art facility for scientific visualization in the Huang Engineering Center.
"Researchers are creating tremendous amounts of data through computations, simulations, measurements, sensor readings and so forth. We have to have a way to visualize such data in ways that allow us to see the big picture and also zoom in on the detail," said Dr. Margot Gerritsen, director of Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME).
The HIVE consists of 35 high-definition displays, synched with NVIDIA technology, that can work together to offer a detailed view of one image, or display side-by-side visualizations of different images.
New Image & Signal Processing Research
Solutions provider SagivTech collaborated with the University of Bremen (Germany), EPFL (Switzerland) and others on the UNLoCX project. Funded by the European Commission, UNLoCX conducted numerical experiments with mass spectrometry imaging data on GPUs, reducing processing times from several hours to several minutes. The goal is to tackle complex applications in life sciences and ultra-precise audio signal processing which presently cannot be solved appropriately with existing algorithms. The results are described in a paper recently published in Advances in Computational Mathematics (June 2014). |

ABOUT CUDA |
CUDA® is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
NVIDIA provides a complete toolkit for programming on the CUDA architecture, supporting standard computing languages such as C, C++ and Fortran.
