We just returned from <a href="http://sc10.supercomputing.org/" target="_blank">SC'10</a>, the biggest supercomputing show of the year.  At the show, we demoed Jacket driving computer vision demos on an 8-GPU <a href="http://www.colfax-intl.com/nvidiaGPU.html" target="_blank">Colfax CXT8000</a> system... pure eye candy!

We had CPU and GPU versions of the demos running on 8 different monitors, each attached to the 8 Tesla C2050 GPUs in the system.  Input data for the various demos was sourced from 3 webcams and 2 Blu-ray video inputs.

Checkout the demo details, below:
<h4>Demo 1</h4>
Sobel edge detection with image dilation and interpolation overlaid on Blu-ray video in realtime.
