Welcome to CUDA: Week In Review
News and resources for the worldwide GPU and parallel programming community.
Thank you to everyone who participated in GTC 2014. During four action-packed days in San Jose, 550 talks and 175 posters were presented, along with 50+ developer labs and tutorials and 40 hangout sessions. Content is available online now for registrants and will be available to all in late April. In the meantime, you can view the keynotes here and posters here.

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

Paul RichmondCUDA-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.

ABOUT CUDA

CUDA® is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). NVIDIA provides a complete toolkit for programming on the CUDA architecture, supporting standard computing languages such as C, C++ and Fortran. Send comments to cuda_week_in_review@nvidia.com
