nVidia Keynote

Well I just returned to my room here in San Jose after having watched nVidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang give his two hour keynote presentation at the nVidia GPU Technology Conference.  There were some very interesting technologies demonstrated by some third-party developers, one in particular that allowed the on-screen merging of objects in the physical world with objects modeled in the computer.  The result was a projected image that blended the two in a near photorealistic fashion.

Discussion of general desktop GPUs was sparse but the “Fermi” architecture as it is known will be indeed be 512 cores and will boast as much as an 8x double-precision speedup over the current Tesla design.

Tonight there’s an nVidia sponsored bar crawl (all in the name of charity!)
