CUDA: WEEK IN REVIEW

CUDA Pro Tip: CUDA-aware MPI not only makes it easier to work with a CUDA+MPI application, it also makes the application run more efficiently. Learn more in this Parallel Forall blog post.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT
GPU-Accelerated Imaging and Simulations This week’s Spotlight is on Anne C. Elster, Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and Visiting Scientist, University of Texas at Austin. More than 25 of Anne’s graduate students have completed theses on GPU and heterogeneous computing. Read our interview with Anne Elster.
CUDA NEWS
MATLAB Adds GPU Computing Features The MathWorks R2013a release has expanded the GPU computing capabilities in MATLAB. Image Processing Toolbox has enabled 11 functions for use with the GPU, including functions for morphological filtering and 2D filtering. Parallel Computing Toolbox continues to make performance improvements and expand its GPU-enabled MATLAB functions, and also added the ability to launch CUDA code and manipulate data contained in GPU arrays from MEX functions.
