Agile Vision Lu Fuming: How the GPU improves server processing efficiency

"Tenkine Server channel January 23 News" The fourth session of this month http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1970.html "> China Wisdom City Congress held in Beijing, As the diamond sponsor of this conference, Nvidia presented us with a large number of intelligent city solutions and technologies based on visual processing products. In the gap between the General Assembly, we also to Nvidia's important partners, Jie Shang Vision Technology Co., Ltd. Vice President Lu Fuming conducted an interview, Lu Fuming for us to introduce the current Nvidia products to help the intelligent city construction, as well as the current development of intelligent city construction.

How the GPU improves server processing efficiency

According to Lu Fuming Introduction, the Czech Republic has developed a series of vision based on the NVIDIA GPU intelligent analysis applications, not only in the highway monitoring, accident treatment has been applied, in the bank, transportation and other aspects of the solution. When the user's hardware system adopts the Tesla GPU, the processing ability can achieve the performance improvement of the geometry level, which greatly exceeds the traditional CPU processing ability. But because the current GPU belongs to the stage of prophase application, in the cost control advantage is not big, once entered large-scale application stage, the advantage of GPU can appear greatly. Previous system deployment requires a large number of servers, if the Tesla GPU can achieve large-scale applications, only a small number of servers to meet the user's processing needs, the reduction of server numbers can effectively reduce power consumption and maintenance costs, more obvious cost consumption.

Under the same conditions, with the help of GPU, the processing efficiency and accuracy can be improved effectively without changing the algorithm. In the past, CPU processing all transferred to the GPU side, some intelligent analysis of the parallel data processing, can also be distributed to the GPU to work. The processing capability of the server is improved, which improves the performance of the whole system. Lu Fuming Frankly, although the special security processing chip decoding ability is also very strong, but the user needs not only decoding, but also in the X86 Server intelligent analysis, at this time Nvidia's GPU capacity is greatly stronger than Huawei Heiss such a dedicated chip. The solution of Agile Vision has optimized the NVIDIA GPU in software decoding and compatibility, and achieved performance improvement.

At present in the intelligent city construction, the Safe City project is the main constituent. In this one of the video detection software is one of the main tools for police to solve crimes, the demand for intelligent analysis is relatively large. In the event of a case, security personnel can use this tool, from a large number of video, the fastest to find some clues related to the case. In this, the analysis of the image, decoding speed is very critical, depending on the NVIDIA GPU, decoding the speed of analysis can be greatly accelerated. It can be said that as long as the need for video image processing, hoping to improve speed, no matter what the application site, the use of Nvidia GPU will be a significant increase in efficiency.

The City of Wisdom is what the public recognizes

Although the intelligent analysis of the market is broad, but Lu Fuming said that the current intelligent analysis in the application of the expressway is mainly reflected in the incident detection, including exceeding the designated areas of driving, illegal parking, illegal turn around, illegal reversing, illegal pressure line, as well as passenger flow statistics such as GPU analysis. Compared with the safety monitoring in intelligent city, the detection application in expressway is more easy to realize. In the expressway application of the picture analysis is relatively simple, there are certain regularity, and urban pedestrians, vehicles, buildings and other variables too much, late variable situation is very large. Under the constraints of hardware performance, the development of this piece is still relatively slow.

The construction of Intelligent city is a long-term process, for today's construction of Intelligent city, Lu Fuming that the current few applications of intelligent transportation in the whole system in the leading position, but this with the real wisdom of the city and the wisdom of traffic still exist gaps. The construction of intelligent city should revolve around the citizen's life, and the development of the whole project can not only rely on the government to promote, but also must have a mature business model. There is enough market demand, business model and capitalization operation, intelligent transportation and intelligent City can be successfully established. The standard of smart cities is not decided by experts, but by the people. If only the city made a smart city project, relying on the state to allocate money and the government to invest money, and finally have nothing to do with the public, it can not be called a smart city.

Pole view: After an hour-long communication with Mr. Lu Fuming, we also learned that Nvidia's graphics-processing products played such a crucial role in the construction of smarter cities. Although the construction of intelligent city in China is still in the initial stage, but the project of Smart city has a direct relationship with any citizen of mine, we also hope our life becomes more convenient and safer, in the process, the continuous efforts of it giants represented by Nvidia let us see the future of Intelligent city , in which, the Czech Republic vision such an application developers also played a vital role, the technology has been persistent these manufacturers also let us see the future of the city of good wishes for life. Hope that the future of the city of wisdom, we can make every citizen in urban life more convenient and happier.
