Much like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild before it, Tears of the Kingdom lets you wield Link’s iconic Master Sword. It’s not necessarily the most powerful thing you can swing at an enemy, but it does repair itself rather than breaking like most weapons in the game. While it’s a good tool to have and you won’t… Read more... View the full article

Since The Legend of Zelda’s inception, Link and the Hylian princess have long been by each other’s side. That relationship has been considered platonic, with Link serving as Zelda’s knight in a green tunic. Tears of the Kingdom appears to change their relationship status by having Zelda move her stuff into Link’s… Read more... View the full article

Final Fantasy XVI is due out on June 22, 2023 on PlayStation 5, following what could perhaps be best described as an identity crisis for the long-running RPG series. Promising a radically different tone for both storytelling and combat, FFXVI is ready to shake things up and, potentially, make a name for itself as a… Read more... View the full article

One of the first questions a Pokémon fan asks when a new pair of games is announced is “Are my favorite ‘mons going to make the cut this time?” While most of the mainline RPGs have allowed players to trade their friends from one game to another, that’s become a much more contentious thing since Game Freak did away… Read more...

People agree: accelerated computing is energy-efficient computing. The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), the U.S. Department of Energy’s lead facility for open science, measured results across four of its key high performance computing and AI applications. They clocked how fast the applications ran and how much energy they consumed on CPU-only and GPU-accelerated nodes on Perlmutter, one of the world’s largest supercomputers using NVIDIA GPUs. The results were clear. Accelerated with NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, energy efficiency rose 5x on average. An application for weather forecasting logged gains of 9.8x. GPUs Save Megawatts On a server with four A100 GPUs, NERSC got up to 12x speedups over a dual-socket x86 server. That means, at the same performance level, the GPU-accelerated system would consume 588 megawatt-hours less energy per month than a CPU-only system. Running the same workload on a four-way NVIDIA A100 cloud instance for a month, researchers could save more than $4 million compared to a CPU-only instance. Measuring Real-World Applications The results are significant because they’re based on measurements of real-world applications, not synthetic benchmarks. The gains mean that the 8,000+ scientists using Perlmutter can tackle bigger challenges, opening the door to more breakthroughs. Among the many use cases for the more than 7,100 A100 GPUs on Perlmutter, scientists are probing subatomic interactions to find new green energy sources. Advancing Science at Every Scale The applications NERSC tested span molecular dynamics, material science and weather forecasting. For example, MILC simulates the fundamental forces that hold particles together in an atom. It’s used to advance quantum computing, study dark matter and search for the origins of the universe. BerkeleyGW helps simulate and predict optical properties of materials and nanostructures, a key step toward developing more efficient batteries and electronic devices. NERSC apps get efficiency gains with accelerated computing. EXAALT, which got an 8.5x efficiency gain on A100 GPUs, solves a fundamental challenge in molecular dynamics. It lets researchers simulate the equivalent of short videos of atomic movements rather than the sequences of snapshots other tools provide. The fourth application in the tests, DeepCAM, is used to detect hurricanes and atmospheric rivers in climate data. It got a 9.8x gain in energy efficiency when accelerated with A100 GPUs. The overall 5x speedup is based on a mix of HPC and AI applications. Savings With Accelerated Computing The NERSC results echo earlier calculations of the potential savings with accelerated computing. For example, in a separate analysis NVIDIA conducted, GPUs delivered 42x better energy efficiency on AI inference than CPUs. That means switching all the CPU-only servers running AI worldwide to GPU-accelerated systems could save a whopping 10 trillion watt-hours of energy a year. That’s like saving the energy 1.4 million homes consume in a year. Accelerating the Enterprise You don’t have to be a scientist to get gains in energy efficiency with accelerated computing. Pharmaceutical companies are using GPU-accelerated simulation and AI to speed the process of drug discovery. Carmakers like BMW Group are using it to model entire factories. They’re among the growing ranks of enterprises at the forefront of what NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang calls an industrial HPC revolution, fueled by accelerated computing and AI.

As was the case in Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lets Link use his shield as an improvised surfing device. It’s both fun and useful for getting out of trouble if you know how to do it. But TotK adds a little twist to this fun mechanic by way of the game’s new Fuse ability. If you… Read more...
