In case you missed it, we recently held a webinar on how to accelerate common medical imaging applications using an easy, powerful programming library with Jacket for MATLAB®.

This webinar was part of an ongoing series of webinars that will help you learn more about the many applications of Jacket and ArrayFire, while interacting with AccelerEyes GPU computing experts.  Gallagher Pryor, CTO of AccelerEyes, used the Bayesian Image Segmentation algorithm as a simple use-case to show how easy it is to convert CPU code to GPU code with Jacket (only 4 lines of CPU code needed to be changed!).

For those of you who missed it, we uploaded the webinar on Youtube. We hope to see you at the next one!

We recently reported that Jacket could be used over Windows Remote Desktop connections as long as you had an NVIDIA Tesla device in TCC mode. With the latest NVIDIA driver updates, Tesla and Quadro devices can be put into TCC mode, making it possible to use Jacket over Remote Desktop with both Tesla and Quadro devices.

We have tested this out with the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 as well as Quadro 6000 GPUs. The system had a Tesla C2050 connected to the display, and the Quadro in TCC mode. Here’s the ginfo output:

Filtering Benchmarks – OpenCV GPU vs LibJacket

September 26, 2011

OpenCV is one of the most popular computer vision toolkits, and over the last year they’ve been integrating more GPU processing into the core. One of the most common image processing tasks is convolution. Since LibJacket and OpenCV both support this, one of my coworkers rolled up his sleeves and benchmarked the latest versions from [...]
