NVidia has a chance

Not all that surprisingly the concept of supercomputing on a small basis has finally filtered down to audio/video recording facilities, with the bulk of basics going to the CPU and the actual processing going to the GPU. This is a clear advancement when those of us who have minimal effect on large market segments have the advantage of the technology.

CUDA was recently touted in a number of studio specific publications for computation of convolution reverbs, audio dynamics, EQ and such, all of which are in a far smaller dollar universe than climate change supercomputing requirements, but the fact that one can have the opportunity to such computing power even in a recording studio certainly has to be of consequence to NVidia.

I, for one, look forward to these developments and their more widely based applications than just the National Computer Lab type of implementation.
