CUDA TECH TIP |
CHOLMOD, a publicly-available sparse direct solver developed by Dr. Timothy Davis of the University of Florida, is now GPU-accelerated. Sparse direct solvers are at the heart of many scientific and manufacturing programs. CHOLMOD is a component of SuiteSparse, a suite of C, Fortran and MATLAB functions for manipulating sparse matrices. SuiteSparse is used for a variety of applications (for example, in Google’s Ceres Solver for the positioning of Google Street View photos.)

EUROPE + SUMMER = CUDA |
A flurry of GPU computing events are happening across Europe over the next few months, from Hamburg, Amsterdam and Barcelona to Rome, Paris and Madrid. Here are several examples (additional events listed in the CUDA Calendar):
Hamburg: ISC 2012, June 17-21
NVIDIA will host talks and tutorials on how Kepler, OpenACC, and CUDA on ARM can accelerate applications.
- June 17: ISC-sponsored tutorial on Programming Accelerators with OpenACC & CUDA C/Fortran
- June 19: A full day of technology talks about the Kepler architecture and HPC
application development platforms
To register, see: www.nvidia.eu/isc2012
Amsterdam: GPGPU Day, June 28
SARA and StreamComputing are sponsoring a day focused on GPGPU and parallel programming. Presentations include:
- Tour of LLVM, by Paul Keir, CodePlay
- GPGPU in Radio Astronomy, by Rob van Nieuwpoort, VU Amsterdam
- Sparse Octrees and GPGPU, by Evghenii Gaburov, SARA

Barcelona: PUMPS 2012, July 2-6
The PUMPS Summer School offers students the opportunity to improve their parallel programming skills. PUMPS is organized by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya and HiPEAC Network of Excellence. Lecturers include:
- Wen-mei Hwu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- David Kirk, NVIDIA Fellow, NVIDIA
- Manuel Ujaldon, CUDA Fellow, University of Malaga
- Isaac Gelado, Rosa Badia, Xavier Martorell, Jesus Labarta, and Nacho Navarro (BSC and UPC)

CUDA JOB OF THE WEEK |
The GROMACS development team is looking for exceptionally talented programmers to develop highly parallel GPU code for the largest scientific clusters in the world, as well as an overall project manager. GROMACS is a popular molecular dynamics program, primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids with complex bonded interactions. Since GROMACS is also extremely fast at calculating nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations), many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers.

ABOUT CUDA |
CUDA® is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). NVIDIA provides a complete toolkit for programming on the CUDA architecture, supporting standard computing languages such as C, C++ and Fortran.
