Welcome to CUDA: Week In Review
News and resources for the worldwide GPU and parallel programming community.

CUDA PRO TIP

CUDA 6 introduces a new reciprocal hypotenuse function, rhypot(x,y). This provides fast and robust computations of Givens Rotations. Learn more on the Parallel Forall Blog.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT

Dr. Ren Wu GPU-Accelerated Deep Learning
Our Spotlight is on Dr. Ren Wu, distinguished scientist at Baidu IDL (Institute of Deep Learning). Dr. Wu is known for his pioneering research in using GPUs to accelerate big data analytics as well as his contribution to large-scale clustering algorithms via the GPU. Read the Spotlight.

CUDA NEWS

Women in GPU Computing: Call for Submissions
This summer, NVIDIA will highlight women around the world who are innovators in GPU computing, including women just starting out in their careers. "It's a good way to remind people that women write code, participate in open-source projects and invent things," comments Lorena Barba, CUDA Fellow and associate professor at George Washington University. "It's important to make the technology world more attractive to female students and show them examples of women who are innovators." Learn more.

CUDA 6 Report
The CUDA 6 Performance Report is now available. To learn more, download the PDF or listen to the podcast of NVIDIA's Will Ramey speaking with Nicole Hemsoth of HPCwire.

Allinea Supports CUDA 6
Allinea Software announced that the new version of its debugging tools, Allinea DDT 4.2.1, now offers full support for CUDA 6. Allinea DDT 4.2.1 allows developers to maximize their use of Unified Memory and other new CUDA performance and usability features.
