NVidia has posted an interview with Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) Researcher Pat McCormick where he discusses the use of NVidia GPU’s and SCOUT to render data from their simulations.
In his research, McCormick is using a language called SCOUT that uses NVIDIA GPUs to help speed data analysis. “When using GPUs, rendering and data analysis goes directly through the GPU. The combination of using SCOUT and processing directly on the GPU saves us the time of writing separate programs as is traditionally required. This speeds up the process of data analysis to almost real time—saving time in both processing and analysis. ”
