DMP applies its AI smarts to Yamaha Motors
Last summer, we reported about DMP Inc. and Basemark's announcement of smart mirrors for vehicles using AI. However, that was just the tip of the iceberg for DMP’s AI efforts. In May 2019, Yamaha Motor ($16 billion revenue) took a 10% stake in DMP Inc. In coming years, Yamaha Motors will ship 50 million motorcycles, boat motors, golf carts, etc., … Read more
Arm owns the GPU market
Falanx Microsystems was spun off from a 1998 research project from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The company was founded in 2001, and the Mali GPU was introduced. It was a clever design that used very little power, making it ideal for mobile devices. ARM acquired Falanx in June 2006, and Mike Inglis, executive vice president at ARM, said … Read more

Nvidia takes steps to protect gaming business
(Source: Sevilay Demirci flicker.com) Pull off the display connectors and call it a mining machine. That’s basically what Nvidia did with their Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) and it’s a very clever move. Meanwhile, Nvidia is launching its GeForce RTX 3060 (on Feb. 25) for gaming. The company says it has taken an unusual step that will help make sure … Read more

Mesh Shading comes with DirectX updates; and UL benchmarks measure its value
Meshing around with shaders coming with DirectX Ultimate
In late 2019 Microsoft announced it would make a major upgrade to its Windows API DirectX12. The company said it would add two new shader stages: the Mesh Shader and the Amplification Shader. Mesh shaders incorporate most aspects of Vertex (VS) and Geometry shaders (GS) into one shader stage by processing batches of vertices and primitives before the rasterizer. The … Read more

Expanscape’s Aurora 7—a pixel pig’s delight
London-based Expanscape has developed a seven-screen transportable PC, and is surely in line for a mention, if not a prize in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Brighton puts your brain on GPUs
Researchers at the University of Sussex in Brighton in the UK have employed GPUs in a desktop PC for a large-scale brain simulation that would typically require a supercomputer. The research builds on the work of US researcher Eugene Izhikevich who pioneered a similar method for large-scale brain simulation in 2006. Izhikevich developed a new class of models of spiking … Read more
