HPC-LAB has several custom-made multi-core workstations with
high-end graphics cards donated by
NVIDIA through
Dr. Elster being part of their Professor
Partnership Program. These include several NVIDIA Quadro and Telsa cards.
We recently also purchased and two Fermi Tesla cards (c2050 and c2070) from NVIDIA through their "Mad Scientist" program, as well as a GeForce GTX 470 card. AMD donated a 5870 card to our group for our SC'09 stand and we have two other AMD ATI Radon cards (5850 and 5870). HPC-Lab received a Zotac ION board donated by NVIDIA on June 3, 2009. It was one of 10 such boards donated through NVIDIA's Professor Partnership program. The Dept. of Computer and Info. Science also recently provided us funding for several more high-end PCs for fall 2010. It also purchased a 9-node dual quad-core HP cluster which is used by Elster's TDT 4200 Parallel Computing course and by HPC-Lab members. The cluster was installed Spring 2010.

Erik Axel Nielsen's Master thesis work with Elster on using GPUs for the Wavelet transform for processing cardiac ultrasound images sped these up by a factor of 40 making real-time processing possible. This work has already made it into GE Healthcare's high-end cardiac ultrasound scanner product. |

Øystein Borg at his poster at NOTUR 2006 in Bergen which received honorable mention
This project was a joint effort by NTNU, U of Bergen, U of Oslo, U of Tromsø and UNINETT. Statoil, Norwegian Meteorogical Institute (met.no) and UNINETT will also be participating.
Elster helped raise NOK 1 million at NTNU for these projects,
which made us the largest partner. These funds were mached
by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) which also added in
NOK 450K for expanded storage Harware that was installed
at NTNUs HPC facilty for the use of Met.no.
Total 2004 budget at NTNU: NOK 2.45 million
The projects ran through 2004. Several of her students were involved in the GRID and cluster subprojects. Elster also got some of her colleagues at IDI involved in the storage subproject.
