As the use of GPUs continues to rise in fields like deep learning, we thought it would be useful to readers not yet familiar with this technology to offer the “Introduction to GPU Computing” presentation below.
GPU Accelerated Platforms for Deep Learning
February 5, 2015 by 1 Comment
“NVIDIA will present an update on accelerated computing, in particular, the latest de- velopments in the platform. They will touch upon NVLink, OpenPOWER, ARM64, and new software updates and also cover the broad-sweeping impact that a new field of machine learning, called Deep Learning, is having on applications and domains.”
Demo: MapD Wins the Day with GPUs for Big Data at GTC 2014

In this video from GTC 2014, Todd Mostak from MapD demonstrates the company’s GPU-powered in-memory relational database software for Big Data. The Cambridge, Mass., based startup has built a high-speed GPU in-memory database that brings interactivity to big data. It can, for example, track more than a billion tweets worldwide at a time – and provide real-time visual analysis of the data. MapD was also announced as the winner of the GPU Technology Conference’s Early Stage Challenge this year, and they will be coming home with a cool $100,000 check.
