$150,000 For Saving The World With GPUs
 

We're not going to tell you how to save the world. We are, however, going to recommend you use GPUs to do it. We're seeking submissions for our NVIDIA Global Impact Award, a $150,000 grant for research addressing the world's most important problems. It's a big job. So we're not limiting the scope of our award. Of course, GPUs have been used to save the virtual world in countless videogames. And for years it's been an open secret that these parallel processing powerhouses are finding their way into the hands of researchers tackling everything from cancer research to climate modeling. Now, of course, the secret's out. Researchers taking on disease research, medical imaging, energy efficiency, weather prediction, natural disaster response and cyber security are just a few of those we're encouraging to apply.
