Reviews

  • It wasn't until recently that parallel [GPU] computing made people realize that there are whole areas in computing science that we can tackle. … When you can do something 10 or 100 times faster, something magical happens and you can do something completely different.

    -Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO, NVIDIA
