Read MoreIntegrating CUDA into a Large-Scale Commercial Database Management System Richard Wilton, Tamas Budavari, Alex Szalay – The Johns Hopkins University In a large-scale database installation where data tables are distributed across multiple servers, computational throughput can be optimized by using GPUs on each server and integrating database management with GPU resources. In the Department of Physics and Astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University, we are experimenting with a set of software tools that closely couple SQL statements…
Read MorePower Wall+ Memory Wall + ILP (Instruction level parallelism) Wall= Brick Wall There are two ways to scale speed by a factor x. Scale the number of (running) cores by x Power will scale by the same factor x Scale the clock frequency f and voltage V by x Dynamic power will scale by x to the power 3 (CV2f ) Static power will scale by x (Vileakage) Total power lies somewhere in between Clock scaling is worse…
Read MoreHeart Surgery with Robot Arm Amazing video about new generation surgery. On other thing about this type of surgery is the computational power that is embeded in the operating unit. Actually the heart is still beating and the unit has the ability to display the beating heard as a still surface. This is just possible by Parallel Processing in the GPU. Pealing a Grape
Read MoreBest ever summary of NoSQL from Coachbase. Interactive software (software with which a person iteratively interacts in real time) has changed in fundamental ways over the last 35 years. The “online” systems of the 1970s have, through a series of intermediate transformations, evolved into today’s Web and mobile applications. These systems solve new problems for potentially vastly larger user populations, and they execute atop a computing infrastructure that has changed even more radically over the years. The architecture…
