We got 500x to 1300x speedup for some of the financial algorithms compared to single core of i7.īut with cellphone internet booming, i think the day will NOT be long before
#NVIDIA EXTERNAL GRAPHICS CARD FOR LAPTOP BLUETOOTH#
Finally, we used bluetooth to transfer it to my cellphone and use the USB cable of the cell phone to transfer it to the target computer… That was a bit of drama… BUt it was worth it. There was no internet as well to transfer it. ( Strength of chain is the strength of weakest link – not necessarily though if u design to accomodate the weak link).Īfter re-compiling the DLLs on my laptop, I realized that USB has been disabled in my laptop (company policy).
The NVIEW card was very very low end (with only 1 MP) and we were Load-balancing as if all GPUs are of equal power. Our multi-GPU library was NOT working as expected on the personal supercomputer (4 TESLAs + a low-end NVIEW card). I still remember the problem that we faced in a CUDA roadshow recently.

Everything needs to remain portable (as portable as a stack of three laptops can possibly be) and be independent from any Ethernet jack or Wifi connection. Often there’s just no reliable Internet available on site.

Hehe, problem is our clients take that software to trade shows, display it to their customers on site, or use it for training. A cheaptastic worker box + some nice remote desktop software to “phone home” gives you the best of both worlds. Retrofitting laptops for dev use is really, really hard I think. The laptop serves as a “smart” keyboard + monitor for the worker. If I were to try to build a luggable demo machine, I’d put a GTX-260 in a headless Shuttle XPC case, and lug that plus a tiny laptop around. Hacking a ViDock could be an interim measure, but you’d still need to feed external 12V power to the card. This is something we tested out later in the review, so read on! Seeing the ViDock in its glorious simplicity certainly made us wonder how the ViDock would perform with a different graphics card. In fact, from the ViDock review, …ics,1933-4.html, we see that this has actually been done.Īt its heart, the ViDock is an ExpressCard-to-PCIe adapter, as we can see when the card is removed. The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectivity through the ExpressCard slot

Of course bandwidth is of some concern, so we need to run some tests to figure out if the limited bandwidth on the Express Card (or USB 2.0) would be sufficient for our purposes.ĮxpressCard is a hardware standard replacing PC cards (also known as PCMCIA cards), both developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). Would anyone know if any external nVidia based solutions are available? My employer would consider offloading some engineering processing to the GPU, however we need information about vendors who provide nVidia GPUs in an external box. Maybe they added a proprietary interface to their laptop model because compatibility is only stated for one particular laptop model. Wow - I did not know this was possible through cable. According to their spec sheet they achieve PCI Express 8x connectivity.
Their product page doesn’t explicitly state whether they connect through Express Card or USB 2.0, but I believe Express Card is more realistic. I’ve seen several ads for laptop based external graphics solutions that would connect via the Express Card slot on the laptop and provide a cable based PCI-Express link to a box containing a GPU and some video RAM.Īs an example, an ATI based product sold by Fujitsu Siemens is found here:
