CUDA Tech Tip: Flush denormals with confidence
It pays to understand numerical requirements of your code. You may be able to get a big performance boost by using the compiler command line option “–ftz=true” if you use operations like sqrtf() and rsqrtf() and you don’st need denormal support. Learn more on Parallel Forall.

CUDA SPOTLIGHT

Monica Syal GPU-Accelerated Brownout Simulations
This week’s Spotlight is on Monica Syal, an aerospace engineer at Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Advanced Rotorcraft Technology (ART).

Monica's responsibilities include development of a real-time pilot-in-the-loop rotorcraft brownout simulation and mitigation methodology for flight simulator applications. Read our interview with Monica Syal
