CUDA: WEEK IN REVIEW

CUDA PRO TIP

Did you know you can increase performance with NVIDIA GPU Boost? GPU Boost makes use of any power headroom to improve application performance. Learn all about it on the Parallel Forall Blog.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT
CUDA-Accelerated Simulation This week’s Spotlight is on Paul Richmond, a Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield (a CUDA Research Center). Paul’s research interests relate to the simulation of complex systems and parallel computer hardware. He is the developer of FLAME GPU (Flexible Large-scale Agent Modeling Environment for the GPU). Read the Spotlight.
