Computer Vision Demos at SC’10 with 8-GPU Colfax CXT8000

Gallagher PryorCase Studies, Events 2 Comments

We just returned from SC’10, the biggest supercomputing show of the year.  At the show, we demoed Jacket driving computer vision demos on an 8-GPU Colfax CXT8000 system… pure eye candy!

We had CPU and GPU versions of the demos running on 8 different monitors, each attached to the 8 Tesla C2050 GPUs in the system.  Input data for the various demos was sourced from 3 webcams and 2 Blu-ray video inputs.

Checkout the demo details, below:

Demo 1

Sobel edge detection with image dilation and interpolation overlaid on Blu-ray video in realtime.

Demo 3

Gradient descent feature tracking , a stripped down version of KLT, tracking 500 features on Blu-ray video in realtime.

      Unfortunately, we never got around to packaging up these demos to share, got distracted by other projects.  If you email [email protected] to let us know what you’re looking for, we might be able to get something to you.
