Nvidia leaps into supercomputers

October 5, 2009

Analysis of:Nvidia and "Starting the Next Age of Personal Computing" | www.tgdaily.com

Nvidia is in the test of its life with big stakes, big investments, and big risks – Fermi is a hail Mary pass if ever there was one. It’s not as reactionary or impulsive as some have suggested and a plan I think has been in the process for the past three years. Nvidia has been putting the pieces in place for the Fermi product through acquisition,  industry initiatives and setting up the platform. One of Jen Hsun Hung’s strengths is his long range vision and I think you can see it at work here.

Today, with GPU compute the researcher launches the computation in his or her own lab with his or her local supercomputer and with the same machine does the visualizations the way he or she wants them done. Depending on the complexity of the task jobs that took weeks now takes days, jobs that took days can be done in minutes and the time scales are further compressing. Productivity goes up, quality of research goes up, humanity benefits - it is the convergence of compute and viz.

Video on the Wire

February 8, 2007

Analysis of:Internet to revolutionize TV in 5 years: Gates | news.yahoo.com

We’ve been hearing about ITV for ten years, and online TVs since WebTV popped up. Many of us have tried at one time or another to get (and pay for) a movie via the internet, only to be sadly disappointed in either the time it took, the quirkiness of the PC, the poor sound quality and the intermittent picture quality. Like the old expression “I’ll believe it when I see it,” well we’ll see it when we believe (in) it. That’s not to say that all the above cited service won’t be available, or that one or two of them may actually become successful to some degree, but IPTV is not going to quickly or easily replace FOA, Cable, Satellite and DVD (no mater how you get one.)

Sony will be the long term winner

November 1, 2006

Analysis of:Opinion: Why Sony Won't Lose the Next-Gen War | biz.gamedaily.com

Microsoft will rule 2006, Sony will bring them to a draw in 2007 and in 2008 Sony will ship more than Microsoft and Nintendo combined.

The architecture is killer. That’s the good news and the bad news. The PS3 has longer legs than any of the other consoles and that is mostly what will make Sony win.

keep your eyes on the game titles, and that will tell you who is going to win. The market isn’t a win all or nothing situation. Many consumers in the middle class and above have two game consoles and a PC. The reason consumers purchase all three platforms is because of the games.
