NVIDIA-Led Team Receives $25 Million Contract From DARPA to Develop GPU HPC Systems

Sounds like it is a University research team backed by Nvidia, not Nvidia themselves.

But will it play Crysis.

I see missile guidance systems with the "powered by nvidia" logo in the near future......

25 mill doesnt sound like much for me if this project is really as big as it seems.

Kreij · Aug 10, 2010

It's not. That is just part of the funding to the research teams.
Cray is involved too. They are good at making things really fast.

I'm curious why AMD didn't get the contract since they're more efficient in everyway really ?

Because their Stream architecture is not as efficient as CUDA. The Stream SDK is a jumbled mess at the moment, even when indirectly using OpenCL APIs.

It's the only reason why I have a 8600GT (probably going to switch to a GT 240 soon) on my third PCI-E slot.

If ATI would just properly document their technology correctly (and give appropriate help), maybe some of my (and my colleagues) projects would use Stream instead of CUDA in the future.

Maybe we're going to take down the enemy by connecting this device full of hot, power hungry GPUs to thier power grid...

haha! true dat.

At the moment "Nvidia" and "tight power budgets" just cant be fitted in the same sentence! They have nothing in that aspect.

um idk bout you guys but 2018....and just prototypes wow is all i can say. I would assume that 25million will be annually or every 6 months bc 25million won't go to far over 8yrs of research and testing.
