NVIDIA Powers Movie Magic and the Data Center
YFrog’s GPU data center
Robert Scoble interviewed YFrog CEO Jack Levin about their NVIDIA powered data center. In the third video of this series Jack discusses how an experiment in using NVIDIA GPU cards on their Hadoop cluster affected their data analysis speed. It is truely a unique and innovative way to utilize parallelism, Hadopp and GPU’s – to “semantically analyze a lot of text”. Mr. Levin talks about using the NVIDIA JDK as well as CUDA, their Compute Unified Device Architecture, the same parallel compute technology used by Plume – a fluid movement simulation tool used by Industrial Light and Magic. Up next for this GPU use – Wall Street statistical analysis?
