GTC Japan
Last week, 1500+ people converged at the GPU Technology Conference in Tokyo, hosted by NVIDIA and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. NVIDIA Fellow David Kirk kicked off the conference with a keynote outlining the broad reach of GPUs and citing several examples of how CUDA is used for cutting-edge research in Japan:
- Tokyo Tech is using GPUs to accelerate genomics, identifying frequent k-mers in DNA sequences.
- At Waseda University, researchers are simulating the adaptive behavior selection of humanoid robots using deep neural networks on GPUs.
- At Hokkaido University, real-time deformation of soft biological tissues is being simulated to provide more realism for surgical training. (Read blog post here)
New Version of PGI 2014 Now Available
The Portland Group (PGI) has released version 14.7 of its PGI Accelerator compliers, adding support for CUDA Managed Data from within CUDA Fortran, along with a number of other new features and enhancements. Learn more. |
