CUDA Week in Review

CUDA Pro Tip: Learn how to prototype algorithms and test CUDA kernels in MATLAB in the latest Parallel Forall post.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT
GPUs and High Energy Physics This week's Spotlight is on Valerie Halyo of Princeton University. Valerie and her team perform research in the area of High Energy Physics (HEP), related to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. Read our our interview with Valerie Halyo.
CUDA NEWS
New CUDACasts In the debut episode of CUDACasts, we demonstrated how to install the CUDA Toolkit on Windows. Now we show you how to accelerate code on the GPU with CUDA and with OpenACC. CUDACast 2: Your First CUDA C Program | CUDACast 3: Your First OpenACC Program New Platform for Geospatial Intelligence NVIDIA announced the GeoInt (Geospatial Intelligence) Accelerator platform to showcase the power of GPUs in defense. Learn more about GeoInt. See the Future of Visual Computing at SIGGRAPH If you plan to attend SIGGRAPH (July 22-25, Anaheim, Calif.), be sure to drop by the NVIDIA booth. Highlights include the Visual Computing Theater, featuring Pixar, Weta, Applied Materials, Honda R&D and others. Talks are every 30 minutes and will be streamed live. See schedule and streaming info. GPU-Accelerated Adobe Anywhere Available Now Adobe is shipping its new GPU-accelerated Adobe Anywhere collaborative video workflow solution, a key element in Adobe-recommended servers. Learn more about Adobe Anywhere. GTC 2014 Call for Submissions Open Call for Submissions for the GPU Technology Conference (March 24-27, 2014) is now open. If you’re doing innovative, ground-breaking work with GPUs, please submit a proposal.
