Turn Down the Noise: CUDA-Q Enables Industry-First Quantum Computing Demo With Logical Qubits

by

Quantum computing has the potential to transform industries ranging from drug discovery to logistics, but a huge barrier standing between today’s quantum devices and useful applications is noise. These disturbances, introduced by environmental interactions and imperfect hardware, mean that today’s qubits can only perform hundreds of operations before quantum computations irretrievably deteriorate.  Though seemingly inevitable,

Winners of AI Startup Challenge Announced at GTC 2018

by

Greg Zaharchuki isn’t afraid to admit it now. Standing before 650 people and a panel of high-profile judges to pitch your startup, with just five minutes to tell your story is a little “unnerving,” the trim Stanford professor admits. But Zaharchuki — a…

Keeping It Real: How an Online Shopping Site Uses Computer Vision AI to Weed Out Counterfeits

by

Image-recognition engines powered by AI are typically built to identify categories of images for inclusion — say, creating a database of images of photos with dogs or spotting friends in group shots. Sometimes, however, the goal is to identify images that aren’t wanted, such as counterfeit products on a shopping site. That’s precisely what Barcelona-based […]

How GPUs Are Delivering a 10,000x Improvement in Missile-Tracking Systems

by

Getting a 2-3x performance boost with an upgraded GPU is a matter of delight. Applying GPU technology to get a 10,000x performance improvement in a missile-tracking phased array radar system is a matter of national security. Yet that’s exactly what the real-time systems and software engineering firm FishEye Software has done. In a talk at […]

6 Companies That Rocked Embedded World with the Jetson TX1

by

NVIDIA’s booth was rocking at last week’s Embedded World 2016, in Nuremberg, Germany, as a raft of companies showed what our Jetson TX1 supercomputing module can do. There were six particular standouts using Jetson: Awabot, from France, showed Emox, a companion robot capable of face and gesture recognition, voice interaction and face tracking. Emox, an… Read More
