In a move that shouldn't be that surprising, NVIDIA has announced that its popular CUDA platform is being ported to x86. The obvious angle here is that this will give NVIDIA a weapon against OpenCL ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) were originally designed to perform the highly parallel computations required for graphics rendering. But over the last couple of years, they’ve proven to be powerful ...

Nvidia has announced a new version of its CUDA parallel computing platform and programming model, ahead of the annual International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and ...

Quick background- I have a subsurface fluid flow simulation tool that I wrote several years ago. From it, I started up a consultancy company, which is finally paying the bills. The algorithms lend ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

This isn’t a review, but given the popularity of my last CUDA book review, I thought I’d mention that Addison-Wesley has published a new book called CUDA by Example: An Introduction to General-Purpose ...

In this Programming Throwdown podcast, Mark Harris from Nvidia describes CUDA programming for GPUs. “CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic ...

Most notably, the chipmaker announced a compiler source code enabling software developers to add new languages and architecture support to Nvidia’s CUDA parallel programming model. The new ...
