CUDA SPOTLIGHT |
Shape Sensing with CUDA
This week’s Spotlight is on Patrick Roye of Luna, Inc., a pioneer in fiber-optics for minimally invasive diagnostics and surgery. Patrick and a team of engineers are developing a prototype system that uses CUDA to calculate the shape of a fiber-optic sensor in real-time. Read our interview with Patrick Roye. |

NVIDIA Joins OpenPOWER Consortium
IBM launched the OpenPOWER Consortium, an open development alliance. NVIDIA, Google, Mellanox and Tyan are founding members. IBM and NVIDIA will collaborate to integrate the CUDA and POWER ecosystems. IBM’s Steve Mills commented: "The founding members represent the next generation in data-center innovation."
NVIDIA + The Portland Group
NVIDIA acquired The Portland Group (PGI), a leading supplier of compilers and tools. Read more in HPCwire and on the NVIDIA blog.
Russia to Fund International Scientific Collaborations
The Government of the Russian Federation has extended an open grant competition for international scientific collaborations related to high-performance and GPU-accelerated computing. For info, contact Anton Dzhoraev, NVIDIA Russia.
Do Science at Home with Your GPU
Read our new post about ways to use your GPUs for the greater good. As blogger David Murphy explains: "Your GPU is good for more than blasting through Battlefield 3 and exploring the virtual world of Skyrim."
Facebook for GPU Computing Fans
Robotics expert Martin Peniak of Plymouth University started a new Facebook page about GPU computing. He will be posting current news, papers, photos and videos here.
