CUDA DEVELOPER NEWS |
GPU Computing with .NET TidePowerd recently released a solution called GPU.NET, which integrates GPU computing support for .NET languages like C# (the .NET framework is a Microsoft programming model). Now you can write GPU kernels in C# and call them like any other .NET-based methods. TidePowerd CEO and co-founder Jack Pappas will present a live webinar about GPU.NET on Wed., Dec. 15 at 9:00 a.m. pacific.
