CUDA: WEEK IN REVIEW a news summary for the worldwide CUDA, GPGPU and parallel programming community.

Welcome to CUDA: WEEK IN REVIEW, a news summary for the worldwide CUDA, GPGPU and parallel programming community.

CUDA Pro Tip: Did you know you can write flexible kernels with grid-stride loops? Learn more in this Parallel Forall blog post.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT
GPUs-Accelerated Molecular Dynamics This week’s Spotlight is on Aron Broom. Aron is a researcher at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, where he works on the molecular engineering of protein structure and function. Read our interview with Aron Broom.
