Therefore, it is not possible to make summary assumptions and predictions about GPUs because a GPU is not a single thing. This is an overview of the GPU market. It is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather one of our regular updates on the topic. … Read more
Visualizing data — analytic rendering via Khronos
Last month I wrote about a new book on Data science and visual computing. The book tells us, as we already well know, we are awash in data. It’s like the weather, we know it, we can’t manage it. We are struggling to get a grip on it, understand it, use it and exploit it, but it is being generated … Read more
