I will present a talk on “Hiperwall: From Research Project to Product” at the UCI EECS Colloquium at 5PM on Wednesday, Nov. 10, in McDonnell Douglas Engineering Auditorium. The official announcement is here. I made minor updates on 10/10, so be sure to get the updated presentation (below). The presentation is Colloquium Presentation 2010 updated. . . . → Read More: UCI EECS Colloquium Talk 2010 NEC Display Solutions announced today that they are partnering with Hiperwall for our software to power high-resolution display walls (sorry, I can’t stand the more limiting term “video walls”). For more information, read their press release. 
The HIPerWall system was a pretty impressive collection of hardware for 2005, with 50 processors (more were added later), 50 GB of RAM, more that 10 TB of storage (we got a gift of 5TB worth of drives for our RAID system from Western Digital), and 50 of the nicest monitors available, but it was . . . → Read More: The History of HIPerWall:The Research Software (2005-2006) Reposted from my Asymmetric Computing blog. For those of us interested in GPU computing, Greg Pfister has written an interesting article entitled “Nvidia-based Cheap Supercomputing Coming to an End” commenting on the future of NVIDIA’s supercomputing technology that has been subsidized by gamers and commodity GPUs. It looks like Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture may end . . . → Read More: Asymmetric Computing: Days of Cheap GPU Computing may be over I added a description of Hiperwall. I added a new biographical summary to the “About me” page. It covers my work at Northrop Grumman, UCI, and Hiperwall Inc. Once we won the NSF grant to develop HIPerWall, we had to decide the exact details of the hardware to purchase and nail down the hardware and software architecture. We knew that we wanted high-resolution flat panel monitors driven by powerful computers connected via a Gigabit Ethernet switch. We also knew that we did not . . . → Read More: The History of HIPerWall:Hardware and Architecture This is my attempt to relate the history of the Highly Interactive Parallelized display Wall (HIPerWall) research project that led to the development of some of the highest resolution tiled display walls in the world and eventually led to Hiperwall Inc., which commercialized the technology. This is the first part of several that will explore . . . → Read More: The History of HIPerWall:Origins For those who don’t know, I left my academic position at UCI after the 2009-10 academic year and am now Chief Scientist at Hiperwall Inc. full time. Hiperwall is keeping me very busy as we are getting ready to release our version 1.2 software. This new software is significantly enhanced from our first release. We . . . → Read More: My status Orig: 1/28/2010 I’ve started filling in content on the Research section of the website, and will continue over the next few weeks. |
