A full week late.


But now i can move on to reviewing HW


As soon as i finish up with the typos and final edits.


Thanks for your patience

A very good write up congrats
There are couple of spelling mistakes nothing too serious
Also u need to change the CPU to GPU in this sentence. "Nvidia's own propritary CPU language". Once again thx for the grt article.

Thank-you. It was something that i personally enjoy even though it really doesn't build ABT's core audience.

However, i think it is really valuable to get insights to what the GPU is capable of. They are just beginning to really evolve the tools and Kepler is a result of feedback from the GPU programming community. i expect Maxwell will be a GPU compute powerhouse and the first architecture to be fully developed under Nvidia's chief scientist Bill Dally, formerly Stanford's computer science chairman. i am most interested in returning to the GTC in 2014

One thing i didn't do - and that was to read other accounts of the GTC. i am looking forward to reading Scott's review over at the Tech Report later on. However, i didn't see a Part II to Ryan Smith's GTC conference Part I

GTC 2012 Part 1: NVIDIA Announces GK104 Based Tesla K10, GK110 Based Tesla K20

Did i miss it?


Maybe i am not too late with my own GTC report

That's a big article! My fingers feel sore just thinking of all the typing involved, let alone planning what to wite.

I just wish nvidia would put their videos on youtube instead of making you use their own player and portal.

Nice article apoppin.

Does AMD have a conference like this as well?

Thank-you.

Yes. AMD is having their second one this year. AMD's Fusion Developer Summit
http://developer.amd.com/afds/pages/default.aspx

i don't believe AMD is going to invite me this year.


However, you will probably see some of Nvidia's partners also there ....


However, you will notice that Nvidia has a master plan and a COHESIVE VISION.

Look at their new Cloud Initiative .. it paves the way for Project Denver and ARM
-- that means that ONLY THE SERVER needs to be x86


Brilliant. Show me what AMD has done to advance GPU computing.
---- Considering that Nvidia's first GTC was in 09 (i'd call it '08 with Nvision), AMD's was in 2011, and you can see that Nvidia is literally years ahead. OpenCL may be open source but it doesn't have any tools compared to CUDA.

Man there is sooo much. I cant believe it. I am very interested in so much of it. I watched several videos from your link. So far my favorite has been Dr. Couzin presentation. I found it to be beautifully put together flowing perfectly. The way his presentation came together was great. this dude is extremely smart. His work unparallelled. As simple as it may seem, it has some deep ramifications.

Yes, he is pretty amazing the way he relates the extremely technical stuff to the layman. He should have a regular TV show imo. He is a visionary and he was one of the first academics to realize the potential of GPU computing. Of course, his work with Locusts is really critical to about 10% of the population on earth.

My other favorite presentation (beside "Inside Kepler's GK110) was Jensen's Keynote. There is a LOT of information in that presentation and i gave a lot of time to it in my wrap up.

And the music that Nvidia picked between sessions was outstanding.


One thing that i think is really weak about my evaluation is it's title
--"Nvidia's GTC"


By then i ran out of all of my creativity


Time to build my new PC and put Ivy under water
