He says they improve speed by a factor of 10, and cuts latency time in half.

That way complex programs can be executed with a minimum of latency, or time lost, for the person waiting for results.
Playing fast moving games over an internet connection poses a number of technical challenges, including latency - the time the remote system takes to execute a command.
Satellite, surprisingly, came out as having the best throughput although before you rush out to get satellite service remember that the roundtrip latency (the time it takes a data packet to go from your PC to its destination and for an acknowledgement to come back) over a satellite connection is often in the range of 900 milliseconds to 1, 400 milliseconds.

The development of CUDA, a parallel computing architecture developed by Nvidia, the leading GPU company, in 2006-2007, changed everything, said Hanweck, who founded Hanweck Associates, to develop a low latency, real-time options analytics engine to price and manage risk for options using GPUs.
The trouble with this approach to the relatively slow interconnection of the processors, latency and lack of real-time security is that there are synchronization and communication challenges, software programming complexities and other issues that are exacerbated in a cloud computing environment.
On televisions, this is achieved via a small set-top box -- a prototype of which approaches the size and noise level of a mini-fridge -- that plugs into the video source and the TV and converts the video in real-time with virtually no latency.
Right now, servers in the most advanced data centers are sitting around with nothing to do because of latency: even Microsoft admits servers are in use just 15 percent of the time.
