New Tech : App takes guess buying wine

New Tech 

For most of us, the wine is still a big mystery.

Pick from a wine store is a daunting task that usually comes down to two choices: red or white and what price are you willing to pay. Then you just choose the wine with the prettiest label.

A new application called next drink is to make it easier to buy wine - and more scientific.

Next glass works like this: The first time you download the application, you are invited to a wine that you like. Then, in a wine shop, scan the label of a bottle of wine. You instantly get a score of 100. The higher the score, the more you will enjoy this wine.

And if wine is not your thing, do not worry: the next beer glass is also eligible.

For a personalized score, next purchased material chemical composition of different high-strength beer and wine glass are analyzed. Commissioning tests about 200 bottles each day, the analysis of a total of about 15,000 bottles of wine and beer bottles 8000 to date.

Feeding the chemical data on a computer, said next drink more than 4 billion calculations to determine a score for each of its users. Glass said that following its personalized results are 96% accuracy.

In tests, the application works fine, accurately predict which wines and beers that I would and would not.

Next glass also comes with some interesting features, including a kind of social network that lets you connect with friends who have also downloaded the following application of glass. If you are all set in a restaurant, the application will be able to help you choose a wine that everyone at the table will enjoy.

When scanning a wine or beer, the application will also recommend similar items that you might like. And next to glass not even tell you how many are in a glass of wine or beer calories scan.

However, glass has following drawbacks.

The price is nowhere to be found in the application, so if you're looking for a bargain, you will always look in the liquor store. The recommendation engine is a nice feature, but you just have the name of the wine or beer suggested - not a photo - so good luck to find in the store. The button "discover" allows you to search for wine and beer, but the list is not organized so that you can enjoy. No way to find the wine that best suits your tastes.

Next Glass is clearly still in version 1.0.

Vivino, such an application, including the means for wine prices, you know that wines are available in your area prompts and provides descriptions of different varieties. The application also has a great advantage in the next glass and has about 1 million wines in your database.

But Vivino is based on preferences like people to recommend wine, and does not include beer. Next Glass believes that the scientific method provide a much more accurate reading preferences.

New Tech : The safety device for the home that is always listening

New Tech 

New Tech : For Airbnb guests who want to keep control over their homes, a complete security system at home could be an exaggeration. They are expensive, and live cameras and motion detectors in the privacy of clients. So how do you ensure that customers keep the volume, do not smoke inside and not spoil his house?

A new device called microphones combined points to environmental sensors to detect anything unusual in your home while you are away. A broken window while you are at work, the sound of their teens throwing a wild party, grandfather sneaking an unauthorized cigarette after dinner.

"They want peace of mind and know that everything is fine, but do not want or need comprehensive security systems," said Nils Mattisson, co-founder devices form, setting knitting.

Small round plastic item like a traditional smoke detector crossed with a speaker. Sounds consistent with data from other sensors to understand what could have happened - suddenly followed by a drop in temperature could mean a window was broken. Is heard when existing smoke detector off and sends an alert, but not certified as an official single smoke detector.

It has a microphone that can detect sounds outside of the human ear can collect. Environmental sensors collect temperature; particle sensors can say what is in the air.

When the point detect any significant change, it sends an alert to your smartphone owner. The mobile application also shows a calendar of events, so that anyone can quickly scroll to see the day when people were in the house. All calculation is performed on the device; no audio streaming live, no way to spy on your home and there is a huge amount of data to classify.

Mattisson worked in the exploratory design group at Apple for seven years, where he helped build the first prototypes, ideas of experimental products. He left the company last year to start the form with the co-founders Fredrik Loof Ljungblad Marcus and Martin Ahlberg.

Together, they wanted to create a new kind of smart devices in the home. The original idea started with Airbnb hosts, but for all those who want a lightweight security option for your home or office. It is intended for anyone who does not have a complex security system, or who are not comfortable with the images of the inside of your home to be stored in the cloud.

Internet-connected cameras that Dropbox is a popular alternative to comprehensive security systems, but the photos and videos stored in the cloud may be vulnerable to hackers. For example, a site welcomes Russia hacked webcam video stream of strangers. Point does not store any audio processing information directly on the device.

Form has raised $ 150,000 on Kickstarter and is working with a manufacturer in China in the first round of production, while proven devices first prototypes. Early next year, the company based in Finland sent the unit its first pilot client, a management company that leases office space for short periods. Form waiting to try a hotel shortly after, and make it available to consumers by next summer.

High-tech companies like Apple and Google, and traditional DIY stores like Lowe's and Home Depot are all growing smart home products as the next big thing. Mattisson because large companies taking existing products, such as thermostats and refrigerators and add Internet.

"We thought there was a need for something that is simple," said Mattisson. "And we do not make the products that are in the same mold."

5 New Tech We Can Expect In 2015

New Tech : As we approach 2015 we still have no glasses that allow us to see into the future. But when it comes to the year ahead, we might not need precognition technology to see some of the emerging trends.

A lot of next year's technology has its roots in 2014. This year we've already seen dozens of wearable gadgets released and Internet-connected appliances, such as the Nest Protect and the iKettle. Expect a lot more in the year to come. Here are five of the big tech trends we expect to really catch on next year.!

Watch Out for the Smart watches :

No, Samsung's Galaxy Gear hasn't been a hit, but it was the first big name smart watch to jump into the pool. With rumors that Microsoft,Apple and Google have all been working on their own watches to work with their respective smartphones, we're bound to see some of that hard work in the next year. According to the Wall Street Journal, Google has been gearing up for mass production of its watch.

Apple, on the other hand, is a wild card. The company has hired a number of fashion executives in recent months, including former Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve, who joined the Cupertino tech company this year to work on "special projects," one of which is the rumored iWatch. (Apple registered a trademark on the term "iWatch" in July.) In addition to the bigger companies, others are likely to join the fray.! 

New Tech  Smartphones :

In the last year, 5-inch Android and Windows phones have become increasingly popular, but expect there to be even more big-screened phones next year, and perhaps even an option from Apple. There has been strong speculation that Apple is working on a 4.7-inch phone.!

Apple CEO Tim Cook has avoided addressing the rumors while also leaving the door open for the company to pursue a bigger-screened phone. When asked in June about the possibility, he said it's something that the company hasn't done so far, but "that doesn't shut off the future."!

Beyond that, phone screens are bound to get even larger than 5 inches. Samsung, HTC and Nokia have all released phones with 6-inch screens in the last year. The age of phablets - the phone tablet is upon us.!

New Tech : Google Glass Goes Global :

Google gave us a small taste of what Google Glass would be like in 2013 when it released the Explorer edition of the connected glasses to a small group of testers. In 2013, however, expect the number of people wearing the glasses with the small screen to grow.!

Google has said that in early 2015 it will begin to sell the glasses to the public. There are still big questions about the rules around wearing them -- can you drive with them? Can you wear them in public bathrooms? There are also big questions about the product details -- what will they cost? Will the battery life be improved? We'll be looking to Google for answers to those in the coming year.!

Internet of Many More Things :

The year 2014 saw the release of connected smoke detectors, kettles, forks and more. In 2015 you can expect to hear much more about what many call "The Internet of Things."!

Yes, that means more and more of the objects and devices you use every day will become connected to the Internet and make them all controllable with your smartphone or tablet. Just this month, Qualcomm, LG, the Linux Foundation and other companies teamed up to create a common language to get many devices to talk to each other. Expect more companies to start talking about how their phones and other devices will work with some of these connected objects.!

Smarter and More Social TVs :

It won't happen entirely in 2015, but the television is finally going to get a reboot. Microsoft has already kicked off the revolution with its Xbox One, which makes it easier to control your cable box with voice commands and a streamlined interface that combines cable with Internet streaming services.!

Google has also begun to tackle the television space, though for the second or third time (who's counting?). The company released the Chromecast this year to easily bring the Web to the bigger screen, but is also said to be working on a new set-top box for the new year.!

Then there is Apple. The company has long been rumored to be working on its own stand-alone television set. There is no real timeframe on when it might release that product, but Apple CEO Tim Cook did say this year that improving television is an area of "intense interest" for the company. In addition to that, Twitter is expected to roll out more TV integration products. !

New Tech : HTC Desire Eye Review !!

If you're anything like me, the mere mention of "selfie phone" will be enough to make you run for the hills. But HTC's new Desire Eye is the rare novelty phone that backs up its niche focus with a damn good overall experience.!

The HTC Desire Eye is no mid-ranged gimmick. Though it has a specific selling point – the ability to snap the sharpest selfies you've ever snapped – you could take that away and still have a top-notch handset.!

The Desire Eye is essentially the excellent HTC One (M8), only with a few additions and a few subtractions. On one hand, it loses the One's premium build, front-facing speakers and rear depth sensor. But on the other hand, it has a bigger screen and higher-resolution cameras on both sides.!

If selfies are your thing, then this is your dream phone. The Eye's wide-angle 13 MP front camera takes sharper shots than many phones' rear cameras take. It has a front-facing flash for those poorly-lit selfies (that was unheard of before this phone arrived), and there's even a dedicated selfie button that quickly launches the front camera no matter what you're doing.!

It also gives you options for setting a timer for your selfies "including an onscreen countdown) and a "live makeup" setting that smooths the appearance of your skin in real-time (you can adjust how strong the effect is with an onscreen slider bar".!

 New Tech : Elsewhere, the phone's build is a far cry from the One M8's aluminum, but the plastic Desire Eye is pretty light and comfortable in hand. Its 5.2-in screen gives you plenty of real estate: 8 percent more than the One M8. The screen is sharp too, with the same 1080p resolution. And though the Eye's rear camera loses the One's depth effects, it does let you take higher-resolution shots of other people as well.!

Performance is smooth, with the One's Snapdragon 801 returning. Battery life is ... solid: it dropped 13 percent per hour in our video streaming test (with brightness set at 75 percent). That's a bit shorter than the One M8 lasted in the same test, but at least it has the One's Extreme Power Saving Mode to keep you on the grid if your battery drops into the danger zone.!

Though I'm pretty sure I'm not the demographic HTC is targeting here, I can highly recommend the Desire Eye to anyone who lives and dies by the selfie. Any phone will let you snap self-portraits, but the Desire Eye is built for it.!

While we're used to seeing novelty phones with one attention-seeking feature surrounded by watered-down compromises everywhere else, the Eye's terrific front-facing camera is attached to a damn good phone. I'm not sure if selfies can still be considered a novelty, but if so, this is the best novelty phone I've ever used.!

The HTC Desire Eye is available now, starting at US$550 full retail or $150 with a two-year contract (installment plans are also available). It's an AT&T exclusive in the US. !

For a deeper dive on some of the features we skimmed over here, you can hit up our HTC One (M8) review from earlier this year. !

New Tech : Smart light bulbs developed byy : Tesla alum

New Tech : While Wi-Fi-enabled lighting like the Phillips Hue is nothing new, it still requires making lighting changes via a smartphone app. Stack Lighting, on the other hand, embeds the necessary smarts directly in the bulb, enabling the device to read room conditions and adjust its lighting accordingly, with little to no effort by the user. !

Hue takes the switch from the wall and puts it on your phone. A neat feature to be sure, with the ability to dim and change colors all from the comfort of your couch. And while Stack’s LED bulbs also include these functionalities, the company has taken lighting to Internet of Things levels by embedding sensors and microcontrollers, as well as Bluetooth, Zigbee and iBeacon hardware, directly into the bulb. If the rain clouds part and the room suddenly brightens, the Stack bulb’s ambient light sensor picks up the change and automatically dims to appropriate levels according to the new amount of light. !

The idea for such smart bulbs came to CEO Neil Joseph while working as a delivery program manager at Tesla Motors. Sitting by the window on a sunny California day at company headquarters, Joseph wondered why the open room’s lights were shining as brightly as ever. If phones and computer screens could automatically adjust for brightness, why not light bulbs? With the market for such bulbs lacking, Joseph left Tesla in late 2013 to start Stack. !

A point of emphasis for Joseph and Stack has been to make the light as user-friendly as possible. For the vast majority of users, installation begins with the simple process of screwing the bulb into the socket, plugging the Stack hub into the wireless router, then designating via app whether it’s for home or commercial use. !

With standard presets satisfying most user needs – cool blue-white in the morning and warm yellow-white at night – no additional work is required, even from the couch. The bulb’s built-in software does the work for you, picking up your patterns and learning as it goes. It also knows the time of day and occupancy of the room. So when you walk to the kitchen for a late-night snack, the bulb’s motion sensor picks up your movement and provides just enough soft orange glow to help you find your way. !

For those interested in customizing their system, the app allows users to create lighting zones with specific bulb behavior. With machine learning in the bulb and at the Wi-Fi hub, occupants unique behavior patterns can be determined and the light adjusted accordingly. And if you don’t want the lights to come on every time Rover trots across the room, you can let the bulb know you have a dog. !

But what really sets Stack apart is its potential to be an integral part of an IoT system. Having its light and motion sensors on the same circuit board as its LEDs is the backbone of Stack’s responsive sensor network and the crux of its intellectual property, and allows it to connect to other devices using APIs like those of Nest and HomeKit. But while Nest and its sensors have one or two points of contact within a home, Stack bulbs can be in every room, collecting data analytics and acting as a central IoT nervous system. !

Stack’s starter kit of two Alba BR30 standard recessed bulbs and a required Zigbee hub costs US$150 and is available for pre-order, with shipping expected to start in early 2015. Additional bulbs cost $60. !

For consumers skittish about the high price tag, upfront costs are offset by a bulb lifespan of 50,000 hours, while Stack’s pilot tests have shown an energy savings between 60 and 80 percent compared to regular LED bulbs. Taking it a step further, Stack's pricing calculator estimates that a 1,500 square foot home using four hours of lighting per day will save $670 to $710 per year compared to incandescent bulbs, a 92 percent savings. Other bulb models, including the ubiquitous Edison style, are to follow. !

New Tech :Galaxy S6 The Most Awaited series Smartphone of 2015

New Tech :Samsung Galaxy S6 is definitely going to carry forward the tradition that has been set by the previous generation ‘S’ series phone and even achieve new heights. We are expecting it to be integrated with much more advanced features which is going to place it at a much better position that its predecessors. So here is a look at the rumoured features of Galaxy S6.

Samsung Galaxy S6’s New Form Factor

While the advanced specifications of Galaxy S6 are definitely going to swipe you of your feet, but it still lacks a premium feel. Therefore, Samsung Galaxy S6 still has a fair chance of becoming a potential eye candy if it comes with a metal body along with a new form factor. Lately, we have seen Yoon Han-kil, Senior Vice President in product strategy team, declaring that high-end Samsung gadgets will boast of an innovative form factor. Galaxy S6 being one of Samsung’s high end gadgets a flexible display is definitely on the cards.

Hardware Specifications

With so many competitors in the market, the tussle is definitely not going to be an easy one. Potential consumers primarily compare the specifications with price of each and every flagship phone before selecting their phone. This was one of the main reasons behind the declining sales figure of Galaxy S4, after the release of iPhone 5S and Sony Xperia Z1 in 2013. Therefore, Samsung has to make sure that they integrate cutting edge processor in Samsung Galaxy S6 so that it justifies its price and be far ahead of its competitors.

We are expecting Samsung Galaxy S6 to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processor with 64 bits chipset. If this turns out to be true, then the manufacturer can actually justify the high price of the gadget as even many laptops do not have such powerful processor. And of course 4 GB RAM is mandatory for such advanced processor and it will increase the work efficiency of the gadget by manifold times. Moreover, this processor also supports LP DDR4 RAM standards which is required for supporting 2k resolution on the display screen and upto 4k video resolution.

Samsung Galaxy S6’s Release Date

Earlier there were rumours that we are going to witness the face off of Galaxy S6 not before 2015. However, recent updates suggest that Galaxy S6 is going to be released in August 2014 itself owing to the cut throat competition in the mobile market. Smartphone manufacturers are revising their marketing strategy constantly to be in the limelight and make a niche for itself. Such developments instigate us to think that Samsung Galaxy S6 will be released this year itself, when other flagship phones along with Galaxy Note 4 are due for release.

That’s all for now, we will keep our readers updated with the latest news on S6 as we come to know of them. Subscribe to our website so that we can send direct notifications about the latest updates on Samsung Galaxy S6 to your mailbox.

New Tech : Samsung talks future !! folding screens and 4K smartphones coming in 2015

-New Tech :  One of the thrills of writing about technology is that more often than not one gets to blog about the next big thing always lurking just around the corner. Fans of technology have been living in the future forever and today Samsung spoke to the technophiles, sharing some of the upcoming technologies its mobile display unit is aiming to bring to market in 2014 and 2015 !

- We’ll be living in the post-Retina world next year as Samsung preps to double the pixel count on smartphone and tablet screens, we’re being told. And by 2015, your mobile devices will have full 4K resolution displays – that’s a whopping 3,840-by-2,160 pixels normally found on Ultra HD TV sets, or four times the pixels of the full HD (1,920-by-1,080) Blu-ray movies !

- By comparison, the iPad’s Retina display maxes out at 2,048-by-1,536 pixels. But that’s just scratching the surface...!

- On the iPhone 5/5s/5c’s four-inch screen, Retina means 1,136-by-640 pixel resolution, enough for the 326 pixels per inch density. But Samsung is now developing 560ppi AMOLED panels for smartphones that will be a reality as early as next year !

- According to slides shown at Samsung’s Analyst Day gathering today, this is 78 percent more pixels on a typical five-inch smartphone at a whopping 1,440p resolution (there’s your new buzzword) !

New Tech : Computer Chip to Bring 3D Holograms to Smartphones 2015

New Tech 

- New Tech : An advanced computer chip capable of projecting three-dimensional holograms from a smartphone has been developed by computer scientists, designed to display videos and images without the need for 3D glasses.

- Ostendo Technologies, the California-based company behind the technology, has so far received over $120 million (£72 million) in funding in order to develop and bring the chip to market, which it hopes to do so by next year

- At only 0.5cm3 in size the chip is small enough to fit inside a smartphone, while other versions can be integrated into televisions. Ostendo predicts that each chipset will cost around $30.

- 'Display is the last frontier' Hussein El-Ghoroury, founder and chief executive of Ostendo, told the Wall Street Journal in a recent profile. "Over the years, processing power has improved and networks have more bandwidth, but what is missing is comparable advancement in display.

- Imagine if everything coming back to you was in 3D - all of your shopping, all of your gaming, every way you retrieve data.

- Interest in 3D technology could grow later then year when Amazon's smartphone is launched which is expected to have hardware-assisted 3D effects.

- Unlike Ostendo, however, Amazon's phone would be incapable of projecting 3D images.

- Projectors used to display floating images in the past, such as Tupac Shakur's posthumous appearance at Coachella festival in 2012, relied on a system of large machines and mirrors.

- The size of Ostendo's chip means that El-Ghoroury hopes it can be used in even smaller devices like smartwatches and other wearable technology in the future !!

New Tech : Nokia N1 iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0

New Tech : What looks like Apple’s iPad Mini, but has better specs, is considerably cheaper, and runs a stock version of Android 5.0 Lollipop? The new Nokia N1 tablet, apparently. At just $250 with 32GB of storage — as opposed to the iPad Mini 3’s base price of $400 for the 16GB model — the Nokia N1 is definitely priced to sell.

Just yesterday, Nokia — as in the networking equipment company that wasn’t acquired by Microsoft — announced that it would be licensing the Nokia name to device makers. Today, it seems Chinese electronics giant Foxconn is the first company to take up that offer with the Nokia N1 Android tablet.

New Tech 

New Tech : The Nokia N1 bears a striking resemblance to the iPad Mini. It has the same 7.9-inch 2048×1536 screen, the same bezels, the same anodized aluminium unibody chassis, and very similar camera, button, and headphone jack placement. Even the bottom of the N1 looks like an iPad Mini, with two speaker grilles flanking a small, central port. (Incidentally, that port on the bottom of the N1 is one of the first reversible USB Type-C connectors, not Apple’s Lightning connector.)

There’s also no home button, nor any chamfered edges — but curiously, the N1 is slightly lighter (318 grams vs. 331 grams) and thinner (6.9 mm vs. 7.5 mm) than the iPad Mini 3. In terms of raw hardware specs, the Nokia N1 and Apple’s iPad Mini 3 are fairly similar. The N1 is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 SoC (Bay Trail/Moorefield) which should compare favorably with the iPad Mini’s A7 SoC, or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805. The N1 has an 8-megapixel camera on the back, vs. 5MP for the iPad Mini 3 — and its WiFi goes up to 802.11ac, rather than the Mini’s rather ghetto 802.11n. The iPad Mini 3 does have a larger battery than the N1, however. We have no idea how these spec differences will play out in practice, of course, but on paper at least the Nokia N1 is pretty hot — especially priced at $250, some $150 cheaper than the iPad Mini 3.

Other than price, the main difference is that the Nokia/Foxconn N1 runs a stock version of Android 5.0 Lollipop — stock, that is, except for the inclusion of Nokia’s newfangled Z Launcher app. Z Launcher, according to Nokia, is a very simple app launcher that “adapts to you.” It shows the apps that you’re likely to open — and for other apps, you can “scribble” the app’s first letter on the screen (“u” would bring up Uber, “i” would bring up Instagram, etc.) The launcher is available on Google Play today for Android smartphones, but for tablets it’s exclusive to the Nokia N1 (it’s meant to be a sweetener).

New Tech : The Best Upcoming Cell Phones

BlackBerry Passport New Tech 

BlackBerry's upcoming Q20 "Classic" has largely been occluded by the company's pre-announcement of its weird, wild, and kind of wonderful BlackBerry Passport, a total Hail-Mary pass of a phone that has a big 4.5-inch, square, 1,440-by-1,440 display and a full hardware keyboard

BlackBerry is focusing entirely on big-business customers now, and the company says the Passport's screen will allow for excellent document editing. The design also speaks to BlackBerry's core business audience, which tends to be older—those folks have started leaning towards bigger screens to aid their eyes, and still love hardware keyboards for their precise, physical feedback. The Passport is also said to pack a quad-core Qualcomm processor and a large 3,450mAh battery, the better to survive a long day's worth of business-critical use.

New Tech : MIT can now use E. coli DNA tape recorders for living and replicating data storage

DNA microchips can now encode arbitrary digital information at a density of over at 700 terabytes New Tech per gram. That number could be pushed much higher, theoretically even as high as 455 exabytes per gram. Cold hard storage capacity like that is great, but what if that kind of power could be integrated with something more alive — something like a single cell, or for that matter, integrated into every cell.

Researchers at MIT’s Synthetic Biology Center have just succeeded in writing multiple analog streams of real-time environmental data into the genetically transformed hardware of a distributed population of bacterial cells. Corresponding author Timothy Lu is calling their new technology a “DNA tape recorder” because the data can be written, erased, and rewritten into virtually any location within the genomes of the cell population. These memories are not only stored for the collective lifetime of the population, but can be passed on from generation to generation.

The researchers have another name for these tape recorders — SCRIBEs, for Synthetic Cellular Recorders Integrating Biological Events. The key to making them work was found in a thirty-year-old paper that described a curious genetic structure found in a humble soil bacterium. This structure, known as a retron, is basically an auxiliary single-stranded DNA cache that exists separate from the cell’s main instruction set of double stranded DNA. The researchers discovered that retrons inside of E. coli bacteria will respond proportionally to the presence of certain chemicals. In particular, the rate at which the single stranded DNAs recombine with the main double stranded DNA of the cell could be increased. [Research paper: DOI: 10.1126/science.1256272]

What this all means for analog information storage is that these largely superfluous single DNA strands, now integrated into the heritable genetic base of the cell, preserve an accurate record of the chemical environment of the cell. By inserting photosensitive proteins into the genetic circuit, the researchers were able to turn on the recorder at a precise point in time with a light trigger. The really heady stuff — actually retrieving this stored information — was done in a number of different ways. Sequencing the genomes of the cells determined which bacteria recorded memories of particular events. For example, how long and how much of a particular chemical they were exposed to.

In other cells, the newly recombined DNA could act not just as a data storage, but additionally as a switch for the cell to make a particular antibiotic. Those cells (containing the antibiotic resistance gene) could then be selected from the others by giving all the cells a toxic challenge which killed only those that did not integrate the new informational DNA sequences. Now we have a way to not only encode data, but to actually control the propagation of the data through the population.

The researchers have already compared their bacteria to complex Turing machines, universal computers if you will. Having these little genetic embassies available for private storage and computation, yet largely exempt from much of the day-to-day housekeeping of the cell, may be a powerful tool for turning both bacterial cells, or our own cells, into what we might call “supercells” — cells that do weird and wonderful things, or perhaps act as massively dense data stores for our own human-made analog molecular computers or digital nanotech computers.

New Tech : Nvidia’s new Tesla K80 has 24GB of RAM, doubles up on GPU horsepower

For the past two years, Nvidia has launched high-end supercomputing hardware at theNew Tech  International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (sensibly abbreviated as SC). Today, at SC14, Nvidia is following that trend, except this time it’s bringing a new dual-GPU product to the table. The new K80 is based on a revised version of the GK110 chip, dubbed GK210, with 13 of Kepler’s 15 SMX’s enabled and a 300W TDP. This may allow the card to hit higher Boost frequencies than the desktop-oriented Titan Z, which struggled to deliver equivalent scaling to two Titan Black’s in an SLI configuration.

Meet GK210

Nvidia’s GK210 is a fairly significant alteration to the GK110/GK110B. While the maximum number of stream processors remains the same, at 2880, the register file size has doubled (512KB, up from 256KB) and the L1 cache is 128KB up from 64KB. Throughput and performance per clock both appear to be somewhat higher on the new card, Tesla K80 offers roughly 2x the maximum single and double-precision of Tesla K40 (8.74TFLOPs vs. 4.29TFLOPs and 2.91TFLOPs vs. 1.43TFLOPS) despite having fewer cores per chip (2496 vs. 2880 on a full Tesla K40).

What does all this mean? Massive scientific computing horsepower — more than any other company has ever brought to market. The 24GB of RAM on the card is divided between both GPUs, but there should be a difference between how this memory pool is tapped for scientific workloads vs. gaming.

The entire point of having a hardware accelerator in a supercomputing environment is that you can keep data stored locally rather than waiting on the system to deliver new information over the achingly slow PCIe 3.0 bus. Nvidia’s NVLink is expected to address part of this problem when it eventually arrives in concert with IBM, but until that solution is ready, the company is stuck with the relatively pokey bandwidth and latency of PCI Express 3.0. That means you can only solve problems as complex as you can hold in local memory.

When you build a dual-GPU system, the data in RAM is always duplicated. In graphics, a dual-GPU card with 2x4GB of RAM isn’t the same as a card with 8GB of RAM because all graphics data is copied across both frame buffers to ensure that the game can be rendered smoothly. That’s not automatically the case in scientific computing, where the two GPUs could be assigned two completely different tasks or theoretically given two halves of the same problem (provided, obviously, that the workload can be split in that fashion).

The big unknown is whether or not the GPU can run at its boost clock of 875MHz for sustained periods of time, as opposed to its base frequency of 562MHz. While even this frequency gives it a 50% advantage in raw throughput over a single K40, a boost frequency of 875MHz would make it literally twice as powerful as Nvidia’s previous top-end supercomputing solution. This is the first card with a full dynamic GPU boost solution in the HPC space, so how that will impact performance over time remains to be seen.

Don’t expect consumer options

The big difference between this card and the previous workstation or scientific computing behemoths that Nvidia has launched is that we don’t expect to see a 28nm variant of this chip taking over the high end of the market. Kepler may have addressed Nvidia’s highest-end consumer needs quite well for several years, but the twin GK210 chips that K80 offers would be beaten by a brace of GTX 980s — likely at much lower prices. Maxwell has taken over the high-end consumer market, and it’s not going to give that space back.

For now, the Tesla family will remain Kepler-only. As of this writing, Nvidia hasn’t specified when it plans to roll out midrange consumer Maxwell-based solutions, or whether it will wait for 20nm to deploy those cards. Doing so could make good financial sense — it wouldn’t be the first time that a company has debuted a midrange part on a new process to iron out the manufacturing issues before transitioning high-end products at a somewhat later date.

This new card should be a monster in its intended environment. AMD’s efforts in the HPC and scientific computing space remain fairly minimal; the company has done a limited amount of proof-of-concept work with APUs and other HPC projects but hasn’t put a sustained push behind scientific computing. Intel has its own Many Integrated Core chip, of course, but Knights Landing won’t ship until the second half of next year. For now, that puts Nvidia firmly in the driver’s seat.

New Tech : An amazing 4K-capable drone for videographers and photographers

Originally best known for it gyroscopic stabilizers, DJI has quickly become the top brand name in drones for photographers and filmmakers. Not content to rest on the success of its Phantom drone line, DJI has incorporated many of the top requests of its customers into its newly launched DJI Inspire 1. Featuring 4K video capture capability and retractable landing gear that stays out of the way of video clips, the drone is even easier to fly than its predecessors.

A tool for serious videographers and photographers

DJI has packed just about every feature a videographer — or photographer — could want into the Inspire 1. The camera features a 9-element lens, and can capture 4K video at 24 fps, or 1080p video at 60 fps. It can also capture 12-megapixel stills. The improved 3-axis gimbal is designed to smooth out the vibrations from the rotors and small movements during flight. A new ground-facing system called Optical Flow incorporates both a camera and ultrasonic sensors to provide safer indoor flight — when GPS is typically not available.

Beyond the basic specs, the Inspire 1’s camera can be operated in full-manual mode. White balance, ISO, Exposure, and other settings can be controlled from the ground. With its new version of DJI’s LightBridge technology, the operators can see the drone’s video feed as far as a mile away. Of course, that’s going to mean that you want a color accurate preview display, and if you’re outdoors maybe even some type of shade on the display used by the camera operator.

Maximizing control from the ground

DJI has also dramatically improved the experience of flying the drone. Along with the dual-control mode from previous models — that allow one operator to run the camera while a second flies the drone — it has launched a very powerful mobile application that provides full flight telemetry including battery status and health.

The auto-takeoff and auto-landing features now include a Homing capability that can follow the operator. This is a huge win for anyone sending a drone aloft from a moving vehicle of any kind. I witnessed a Phantom owner lose his drone in the ocean while filming whales in part because the boat continued to move and the drone wasn’t able to successfully return.

The Inspire 1 is probably not a great toy

Okay, that’s the good part. Unfortunately, all this great stuff comes at a price that will put it out of reach of most consumers. Priced at $2,900, the Insprie 1 is priced competitively for professionals compared to the more expensive systems it can replace, but is a lot of money for a hobbyist to spend on a device that they might lose in a heartbeat due to an in-flight mistake. A second controller for a camera operator will set you back another $650 — and remember that you still need to provide mobile devices to run the application and see the previews.

One of the conundrums of drone ownership is that in many cases, the advanced systems make more expensive drones like the Phantom or the Inspire 1 easier to fly than less expensive models like the Parrot, but you are also risking more every time you send them up. But if you have the money, and a project to justify it, the Inspire 1 is definitely the slickest drone on the block.
