RealityFrontier announces the early availability of its FFT acceleration appliances. Signal processing and FFT Fast-Fourier transforms (FFT) are widely used in digital signal processing. RealityFrontier has been facing with two needs: lowering the energy consumption for mobile applications as well as increasing the processing throughput for real-time applications. The computation is performed by a small-form factor PC. It is housing a NVIDIA card programmed using the CUDA toolkit. The throughput is as much as 50x compared to the same FFT...

RealityFrontier was at MassTLC Innovation 2010. This year unConference brought together 600 experts, investors and entrepreneurs in Boston. I attended the “future of telemedecine” session. Tele-health is well suited to RealityFrontier capabilities in video content analysis. Future of telemedecine What helps in building up a telemedecine solution? A sales team needs to employ the services of a medical doctor as doctors are trusting doctors. The solution provider needs to get involved as closely as possible to medical...
read moreVideo processing: the value of on-line services
RealityFrontier is working on video content analysis. What is it? Can it be an on-line service? What are the other service providers? Video content analysis looks into a video footage, frame by frame, and identifies relevant information. It is different from video monitoring analytics or video viewing analytics. Video analytics is primarily used by security firms for real-time area surveillance. Video viewing analytics is used by media agencies for ads placement based on the video metadata. By contrast, video content analysis goes one...

RealityFrontier was an exhibitor at GTC 2010. Check the video of our booth! Robotic platforms are constrained by a feedback loop that should execute in typically less than 1/10 second on a low electric power budget. One-stop system integration Connecting the robot to a remote compute appliance helps in off-boarding compute-intense operations. More electrical power is available to operate the robot payload such as outdoor drive base, laser range finder, 4-DOF arm, etc. Compute-intense computations are executed remotely. The API...

Stream processing… Some people may see it as an arcane topic. To me, it’s the most exciting time in Com Sci for the past 10 years! The entire IT industry is about to shift from monolitic applications to massively parallel applications. We will kiss bye bye to many of our transactional applications. At long last we will bridge the gap between datacenter stream processing and embedded systems optimization! November update: the article is published! The Linux Journal introduces the article in their latest issue: ” If all that...
