Have you ever heard of General-Purpose Computation on Graphics Hardware? Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are high-performance many-core processors that can be used to accelerate a wide range of applications. Recently many applications have been developed using GPUs.

It’s not a long time that NVIDIA released the 1.1.1 version of a media converter, called ‘badaboom‘. It uses CUDA-enabled GPUs for video format conversion. In this approach, the required time for video conversion is reduced and in the meanwhile you can use your CPU for your everyday work. As NVIDIA stated before, about badaboom, you can experience the blazing speed of the first ever GPU accelerated video transcoder! Powered by NVIDIA CUDA Technology. CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architechure) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA, which is the computing engine in NVIDIA GPUs, and is accessible to software developers through standard programming lanuages.

If you want to download the free 30-day trial version go http://nzone.download.nvidia.com/nodlm/Badaboom_Setup_1.1.0.132_Trial.exe.

Well, I guess it is enough! My previous post (titled ‘I got married,’) was just a joke! You know what the April’s fool joke is! Don’t you? The first day of April, many jokes are made. Even big companies and famous people make these jokes. As an example, Bayern Munich’s website has carried what it claims is a dramatic transfer coup — the signing of England captain David Beckham from Real Madrid in 2005. The club said Beckham had signed a three-year deal with the Bundesliga leaders and would be the club’s most expensive signing, hinting at the same 35 million euro (24 million pounds) fee Real paid Manchester United for the midfielder in 2003. Google have also made several nice such jokes, check some of them here: Gmail Paper, Google TiSP, Google PigeonRank, and a lot of joke this year! See here for all Google’s Jokes.

Anyway, just wanted to say the marriage was just a joke.

توی فارسی اصطلاحاً به این جُک می‌گن دروغِ 13. چون تقریباً این روز (اول آوریل) نزدیک یا منطبق بر سیزدهمین روز سال ما ایرانی‌هاست. پس می‌شه گفت این پُستِ قبلی من یه دروغ 13 بوده. از تمامی دوستانی که کامنت گذاشتن، یا مستقیماًٌ (یا غیر مستقیم) با خودم صحبت کردن ممنونم. باحال بود خوشم اومد.
