NVIDIA Launches GPU Accelerated GEOINT Platform

摘要

NVIDIA, pioneers of visual computing, has unveiled a new accelerated Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) platform for defence and homeland security applications. Based on the company's leadership in graphic processing unit (GPU) technology, the GPU accelerated system provides faster processing of high-resolution satellite imagery, video facial and object recognition and mission planning capabilities (using geographic information systems data). The Company describes the accelerated platform as 'the world's first,' enabling analysts to generate accurately actionable intelligence from petabytes (10005 bytes) of surveillance data, images and video. By using GPU accelerators, the GEOINT Accelerator analyzes data up to 10 times faster than systems using only central processing units (CPU). Although GPU accelerators are used in a range of defence and security applications, NVIDIA'S latest platform provides a complete set of applications required for the GEOINT analyst.
