Welcome to CUDA: WEEK IN REVIEW, a news summary for the worldwide CUDA, GPGPU and parallel programming community.
CUDA TECH TIP: ArrayFire is an easy-to-use GPU matrix library developed by AccelerEyes. ArrayFire wraps GPU memory into a simple "array" object, enabling developers to process vectors, matrices and volumes on the GPU using high-level routines. Read more.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT
GPUs for Seismic Imaging
This week’s Spotlight is on Paulo Souza of Petrobras, the Brazilian multinational energy company in Rio de Janeiro.

Paulo started working with GPUs in 2006, when he ported seismic imaging applications to CUDA.

At SC12 last week, Petrobras won the HPCwire Readers’ Choice award for "Best Use of HPC in the Oil and Gas Industry." Read our interview with Paulo Souza.		 Paulo Souza
