When most people speak about server capacity, it's about the CPU (or processor) built. However, another server class can significantly improve performance while reducing power usage: a GPU server. Switching to use graphics cards for specific tasks demonstrates how GPU servers can support your company.

At SC20, Intel revealed that it would make its Xe-HP high-performance discrete GPUs available to early-access developers. Notably, the latest chips have been installed at the Argonne National Laboratory. They will act as a transitional production vehicle for the future (2022) Aurora supercomputer, for the delayed Intel Xe-HPC ('Ponte Vecchio') GPUs computational backbone of the device.

After 30 years of stuttering and halting, virtual reality is finally a reality, thanks to the inflow of billions of dollars of hardware investment from top technology firms. Facebook has its $600 Oculus Rift — add $200 for Oculus Touch controllers — and HTC has its $800 Vive and its optional hand controllers for those who either have a turbocharged PC or are willing to spend another $800 or more on that hardware. Sony makes it a little simpler for 50 million players who own PlayStation 4, offering either a $400 PlayStation VR or a $500 set of camera and PlayStation Move controls that you'll use to play games. And just about anybody can pick up a mobile VR system like Google Cardboard, Daydream View, or Samsung Gear VR for less than $100. Here are five fantastic VR games for these platforms today.

As Silicon Valley is preparing to fight against the novel coronavirus, NVIDIA uses its GPU technology to allow researchers and gamers to join the ongoing efforts.

"The network will debut an AR-style Senate floor in its new Times Square studio."

Byline explores augmented reality ( AR) potential to grow as a powerful learning and development tool based on groundbreaking neuroscientific research. The piece leverages findings from the Layered report, using real-life case studies from companies worldwide to provide practical tips on how to get started with AR without breaking the bank.

Nvidia said it's A100 GPUs won all the MLPerf benchmark ...

Following the announcement of AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs earlier today, Microsoft has gone into a little more detail on what the Xbox Series X will be capable of thanks to AMD's graphics cards. The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S all use AMD Zen 2 and RDNA 2 hardware under the hood, and these new graphics cards all use the RDNA 2 architecture as well.

The boundary between the virtual and the physical world continues to break down, creating stunning encounters that could only be found in science fiction authors' imagination a short time ago.

NVIDIA now has a solution for professionals ready to get a grip on its new Ampere architecture: the RTX A6000 and the A40. They are two powerful cards that comfortably outperform the drool-worthy $1,499 RTX 3090, with 10,752 CUDA cores and 48 GB of VRAM. And indeed, in case you were curious, they were the predecessors of the previous RTX 8000 and 6000 Quadro GPUs.It's not clear why NVIDIA removes the Quadro branding this time around, but the name on the card doesn't matter to anyone seeking professional results.
