Welcome to CUDA: WEEK IN REVIEW, an online news summary for the worldwide CUDA, GPGPU and parallel programming ecosystem.

GTC FACTS

This year's GPU Technology Conference drew attendees from 54 countries, offered 340+ sessions, displayed 120+ posters and featured 100+ exhibitors. We recommend taking some time to review and learn from the presentations, all of which are posted online. To get you started, here's a list of some of our top picks:

Keynotes

•  NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang introduces the Kepler compute architecture and more...
•  Princeton's Iain Couzin reveals what we can learn from collective animal (and human)
    behavior...
•  Part-Time Scientists Robert Hoehme and Wes Faler share their plans to put a rover on
    the moon...

GPU MEETUPS

The May meeting of the Silicon Valley GPU Meetup was held on-site at GTC, and we had a full house in attendance, including folks from Europe and Australia. NVIDIA's Chris Malachowsky presented on "GPU Computing: How Did We Get Here?" Meetups are a great way to network with people in your area. Upcoming events include:

June 6 - GPU Meetup, Paris
June 18 - GPU Meetup, Silicon Valley
June 19 - GPU Meetup, Paris
June 20 - GPU Meetup, New Mexico
June 25 - GPU Meetup, New York
June 27 - GPU Meetup, Boston
