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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nvidia earlier this month unveiled CUDA Tile, a programming model designed to make it easier to write and manage programs for GPUs across large datasets, part of what the chip giant claimed was its ...

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 ...

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 ...

As I mentioned in a post here several weeks ago, I was struck by the diversity of vendors and partners exhibiting technology based on NVIDIA’s GPUs at ISC last month in Germany. At least 19 companies ...

While the rumored delay of the iPhone SDK may push its release date back another week or two, antsy Mac developers have the chance to fool around with another new toolkit and SDK thanks to graphics ...
