NVIDIA Fellow!
April 2, 2009
I was lucky enough to receive the 2009-2010 NVIDIA Fellowship. This award is in the amount of US$25,000 to be used to further my research.
6.963 CUDA @ MIT (IAP 2009)
January 7, 2009
Today is the first day of the class I'll be teaching for a month, almost every day: “Supercomputing on your desktop: Programming the next generation of inexpensive massively parallel hardware using CUDA”.
NVISION 2008!
August 22, 2008
We will be briefly presenting some highlights of our high-throughput vision work at NVISION 2008 (during the “Next-Generation Computer Vision Using CUDA” session) in San Jose.

lindik writes "As part of their research efforts aimed at building real-time human-level artificial vision systems inspired by the brain, MIT graduate student Nicolas Pinto and principal investigators David Cox (Rowland Institute at Harvard) and James DiCarlo (McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT) recently assembled an impressive 16-GPU 'monster' composed of 8x9800gx2s donated by NVIDIA. The high-throughput method they promote can also use other ubiquitous technologies like IBM's Cell Broadband Engine processor (included in Sony's Playstation 3) or Amazon's Elastic Cloud Computing services. Interestingly, the team is also involved in the PetaVision project on the Roadrunner, the world's fastest supercomputer." more.
MIT neuroscientists see design flaws in computer vision tests!

Cathryn M. Delude (McGovern Institute) writes "For years, scientists have been trying to teach computers how to see like humans, and recent research has seemed to show computers making progress in recognizing visual objects. A new MIT study, however, cautions that this apparent success may be misleading because the tests being used are inadvertently stacked in favor of computers." {more}
