Ever since AccelerEyes began over 4 years ago, naysayers have flippantly tossed out the idea that somehow computing on discrete GPUs will soon go away. Some thought AMD's Fusion would become the demise of discrete GPU computing. Others thought that Intel's integrated graphics would squeeze high-end GPUs out of the market.
Neither is anywhere close to disrupting the utility of discrete GPUs (especially those currently available from NVIDIA) for solving computational challenges that face domain professionals.
Today, Jon Peddie Research introduced a free whitepaper describing the market forces and the sales projections of GPUs. From the article:
"The facts speak for themselves. Those who are concerned about graphics performance will buy discrete GPU systems. As good as they are, embedded graphics processors will never be a replacement for a powerful discrete GPU... Discrete GPUs have, and will continue to hold, a multi-year lead over integrated graphics, and software applications and operating systems aren't standing still. Therefore, the notion that the evolution of integration spells the end of discrete GPUs just isn't founded."
We continue to see the rise of GPU computing positively impact the growth of AccelerEyes and are delighted to see so many of our customers achieving great acceleration with Jacket technology.
To the naysayers out there, you might consider giving this a closer look:)
