Stephen Jones of NVIDIA on getting the best computing performance with CUDA

It was amazing to geek out with Stephen Jones from NVIDIA on CUDA and how people can use it to access all the hardware we have in our devices. We also got into the state of the art of hardware and chipsets and that sooner or later we will have bio-neural circuitry like in Star Trek. Or not. In any case, check out the video on CUDA and chipsets.
