Transforming IndustriesUniversity of Antwerp Speeds Medical Imaging Development with GPU and CUDAResearchers at the Vision Lab at the University of Antwerp have created a desktop supercomputer using NVIDIA GPUs, which gives them a 100X speedup when developing 3D imaging reconstructions of internal organs and skeletal systems. The result is faster time to discovery for diseases such as osteoporosis.Learn More 
Dramatically Accelerating the Search For a CureStanford University's Folding@home program has become a major force in researching cures to life-threatening diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and some cancers by combining the computing horsepower of millions of individual processors to simulate protein folding. By running the Folding@home client on an NVIDIA GeForce® GPU, protein-folding simulations can be done 140 times faster than on some of today's traditional CPUs.Learn More Video Game Technology May Help Surgeons Operate on Beating Hearts“To perform intricate beating-heart operations in babies with congenital heart disease or do beating-heart complex repairs in adults, surgeons need fast, highly sophisticated real-time imaging that allows them to see depth. In an NIH-funded study featured on the cover of the June Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, cardiac surgeons from Children's Hospital Boston report good results with a simple technology borrowed from the gaming industry: stereo glasses.”Learn More
