CUDA NEWS |
Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.0 Released
NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.0 is now publicly available. New features include the ability to debug OpenGL applications and support for the Kepler GK110 architecture in Tesla K20 and GeForce GTX TITAN.
New CUDA Centers
Institutions from 11 countries have joined the roster of CUDA Research Centers and CUDA Teaching Centers, bringing the total to 273 in 42 nations. Work performed at the Centers includes 3D genome sequencing; graphics and numeric programming; and systems for heterogeneous nodes and clusters.
INCITE Call for Proposals
Accelerate your research on Titan, the world’s #1 supercomputer for science, by harnessing more than 20 petaflops of parallel processing using GPUs. The INCITE program is open to US- and non-US-based researchers and organizations needing large allocations of computer time and data storage to pursue transformational advances in science and engineering. Find out more.

CUDA JOB OF THE WEEK |
back to the top
|
| The U.S. Air Force Research Lab seeks post-doc research candidates to work on optimal code development on real-time HPC GPU clusters for CFD, computational electromagnetics (radar), and infrared/laser/atmospheric transmission and signature modeling. Candidates will work with Air Force and DoD contractor researchers to transform legacy codes to exploit NVIDIA Kepler and Crossfield RDMA backplane capabilities for real-time HPC cluster hypersonic vehicle modeling. Open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Research Associateship Programs Overview | Position Description |
