NVIDIA: Kang, what are you working on at Johns Hopkins?
Kang: My current research focuses on interventional Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology for microsurgery.

Conventionally, visualization during microsurgery is realized with a surgical microscope, which limits the surgeon’s field of view and causes limited depth perception of micro-structures and tissue planes beneath the surface. Such issues commonly exist in many kinds of microsurgeries, such as ophthalmic surgery, neurological surgery and otolaryngologic surgery.

OCT is a new imaging modality capable of non-invasive 3D micrometer-resolution imaging, which makes it highly suitable for guiding microsurgery. As part of my PhD work, I developed an ultra-high-speed, real-time OCT imaging system using a hardware-software platform based on GPU technology.

NVIDIA: What are some advantages of working with CUDA?

Kang: Thanks to CUDA’s great parallel processing ability, we achieved a >20X speedup of OCT image reconstruction and demonstrated the first GPU-based real-time 4D (3D + time) OCT system.

NVIDIA: As computing becomes faster, what can we look forward to?

Kang: More GPUs will be embedded in existing computer systems as compact, cost-effective and green supercomputing engines.

The Future of Computing Performance: Game Over or Next Level?

back to the top

A new report by the National Research Council concludes that “the end of dramatic exponential growth in single-processor performance marks the end of the dominance of the single microprocessor in computing. The era of sequential computing must give way to a new era in which parallelism is at the forefront.”

NVIDIA’s Kimberly Powell blogged this week about BioIT World:

“The BioIT World Expo took place in Boston last week. The event brings together approximately 2000 life sciences, pharmaceutical, clinical, healthcare, and IT professionals from around 30 countries to share information and discuss the technologies that are driving biomedical research and drug development.

The bioscience community is tasked with perhaps some of life’s biggest challenges, from drug discovery to developing an overall better understanding of the human body. In these quests, computation is a researcher’s most important tool, enabling them to run larger and more accurate simulations as well as test a wider range and variety of laboratory-style scenarios.

These two worlds converge in the field of bio-IT, and it is in this field where the parallel processing power of NVIDIA GPUs is having a profound effect.”

GPU Computing Momentum at Microway

This week’s Spotlight is on Stephen Fried, founder of Microway and veteran technology inventor. Steve is a former space scientist and FAA flight examiner who can be found on weekends soaring in his sailplane over the Green Mountains of Vermont.We caught up with Steve after learning that BioStack-LS — a CUDA/Tesla-based Microway product — was named “Best of Show” finalist at the Bio-IT World Conference in Boston this week. Here’s an extract from our interview:

Steve Fried in his Schleicher ASH-26 E sailplane

NVIDIA: Steve, tell us about Microway.

Steve: We develop x86-based Linux clusters whose nodes each employ a pair of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. For the past four years, we’ve been providing customers with well-designed and cooled GPU platforms.

NVIDIA: Where are you seeing the most momentum in GPU computing?

Steve:Applications that manipulate matrices or rely on linear algebra techniques are excellent candidates for a system of parallel GPGPUs.For example, we believe that GPUs are ideal for executing the parallel vector applications that dominate much of the bio-informatics world. This week we are at Bio-IT World demonstrating BioStack-LS. BioStack-LS includes seven GPU compute nodes, each with two Tesla C2070s.

BioStack-LS represents an innovation for the bio-medical community because it’s delivered pre-configured for life sciences software, including AMBER, MATLAB, NAMD and VMD.

NVIDIA: Why are people embracing the CUDA parallel programming model?

Steve: CUDA automatically solves many annoying problems…. It hides the bits and pieces of kernel control, data flow and task synchronization from the user. It reduces the user’s task to writing a single piece of C code that executes on the host, which automatically loads and calls the kernels that are embedded within the CUDA application in the order that they are to be executed….

The Keeneland Project is a five-year, $12 million grant awarded by the NSF for creation of an experimental high-performance system. Georgia Tech and its partners, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and Oak Ridge National Lab, are deploying an HP system powered by Tesla GPUs. A Keeneland Workshop will be held April 14-15 in Atlanta.

NVIDIA’s Andy Walsh blogged this week about how OpenEye Scientific Software is tackling the challenges of drug discovery:

“A key path to drug discovery over the past decade has been the process of determining “shared bioactivity” between molecules, that is, determining the similarity of one molecule to another based on its three-dimensional shape.There’s always been a catch, though. If you’re a large pharmaceutical company doing research in this area, you probably have a collection of more than a hundred million molecule shapes or conformations. In the rush to find new cures, how do you even begin to get through this much data in a reasonable timeframe, even in a lifetime?

Enter an innovative company called OpenEye Scientific Software, and its revolutionary new application called FastROCS.”

GPU-Accelerated Large-Scale Analytics

This week’s spotlight is on Dr. Ren Wu, Senior Research Scientist at HP Labs in Palo Alto, Calif., and Principal Investigator of the CUDA Research Center at HP Labs. Dr. Wu works in the area of large-scale analytics and business intelligence. Here is an extract from our interview:

NVIDIA: Ren, tell us about potential applications of GPU-accelerated large-scale data analytics.

Ren: There are many different and exciting scenarios, including trend analysis of social media, large-scale predictive models, automatic data correlation, and statistical analysis in sensor data streams. And the GPU is not limited to accelerating large-scale analytics only; it can be used for accelerating analytics on any scale. I expect to see many more GPU-accelerated cloud services in the near future.

NVIDIA: What kind of advantages have you achieved with CUDA?

Ren: We’ve looked at various core primitives in analytics. Per chip comparison, typically we’ve achieved about a 5-20X performance advantage by using CUDA GPUs over a pure CPU approach. For a typical workstation with two CPUs and two Tesla boards, this ratio is also pretty much maintained. Same goes for the servers, even though it can vary more, depending on the server’s configuration.

Personally, I think that the CUDA programming model is a very nice framework–well balanced on abstraction and expressing power, enough control for algorithm designers, and supported by hardware with exceptional performance (compared to other alternatives).
