NVIDIA Tesla GPUs Power IBM Servers to Accelerate Seismic Exploration

Scott Denham of IBMs Deep Computing Technical team speaks about why they selected NVIDIA Tesla GPUs for their new iDataPlex Servers, and how oil and gas customers are leveraging the increased computational power for seismic exploration.

Heil nVidia! :D

Nice Video ;) Wish I could have also some of these IBM Servers :/

I'm glad we moved away from higher clock speeds, I would much rather have a Hexa Core CPU than an 8GHz+ CPU.

@Mastermind12358 performance per watt = performance. We are about at the wall in regards to heat for air cooling.

I think Darpa is asking for 50 GFLOPS per watt DP if I'm not mistaken.

@Mastermind12358 ...Exactly. If Intel and AMD (and VIA, Sun, and IBM, I suppose) kept upping clock speeds instead of Core numbers, we would be using 200+W processors, and still not have nearly the same amount of performance.

@GruntyStudios

yeah and have you seen the cooling req diffrence beetween now and 10-15 years ago ?. higher clock speed can mean higher heat...

hehe ^^

@Olaf16 yes!
