Welcome to CUDA: Week In Review
News and resources for the worldwide GPU and parallel programming community.

CUDA PRO TIP
The new Maxwell GPU architecture is the most power efficient GPU yet. Maxwell improves instruction scheduling and latency, and adds more dedicated shared memory and shared memory atomic instructions. Learn all about it on the Parallel Forall Blog.

GPU TECH CONFERENCE

Excited about #Nvidias #Maxwell architecture! More L2 cache and faster atomics will be good for MapD. http://goo.gl/mbd0xU - @ToddMostak

If you’re a superoptimizer, the #CUDA 6 RC disassembler can now pretty print a register/predicate "lifetime" diagram: pic.twitter.com/oqxSz3fSSa - ‏@pixelio
