![]() Of course there's still a whole lot to improve in terms of the ability to accelerate the many other kinds of applications beyond those it already does, but this is still a young and growing industry and there's plenty of untapped potential. ![]() In essence, NVIDIA helped promote this arena and did so much stronger than the competition, thus paving the way with GPU computing in its present incarnation with NVIDIA CUDA technology as well as some successful consumer, workstation and HPC applications. Following that were other derivative 'neutral' party's high level shading languages, GLSL by the OpenGL group and Microsoft's HLSL. NVIDIA has made its first move years back with the NV40 chip and the introduction of Cg (C language for graphics) following close collaboration with Microsoft for programming vertex and pixel shaders. The fact that there are now 1500 developers who are working with NVIDIA's SDK and tools to provide or build solutions out of GPU computing and giving rise to the first ever GPU Technology Conference event says a lot about the potential of this field. You've to realize that just a couple of years ago, GPU computing was hardly anything but research talk and probably the stuff of dreams if we step back even further in time. Still it turned out good enough that we wanted to share it with our readers:. Take note that this big bang opening is an actual 3D video as projected by NVIDIA so the focusing isn't that great unless you happen to be at the venue wearing 3D glasses. Now we'll share with you some of the other highlights of the opening keynote on the GPU Technology Conference 2009 by Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA's CEO and Co-founder on where NVIDIA is heading towards and why GPU computing is playing an ever important role.īut first, here's the grand opening and video recap of NVIDIA's key technology achievements made in GPU advancements. ![]() Well, we've shared with you some of the first juicy bits of NVIDIA's forthcoming Fermi architecture based GPU or also otherwise known as GT300 in our earlier article yesterday.
