| Welcome to CUDA: Week In Review, news for the worldwide CUDA, GPGPU and parallel programming community. |
 |
| CUDA Pro Tip: Like Python? Try NumbaPro, a Python compiler from Continuum Analytics. It compiles Python code for execution on CUDA-capable GPUs. Read about it on Parallel Forall. |

CUDA SPOTLIGHT |
 CUDA-Accelerated Adventures
This week’s CUDA Spotlight is on Cyrille Favreau and Christophe Favreau, brothers who leverage GPU computing in different ways, with equally compelling results.
Cyrille, a technical architect by day, uses CUDA in his free time to pursue his interest in visualization technologies. His projects include building a real-time ray-tracing engine and molecule visualizer, and exploring fractal theory.
Christophe, a professional photographer and videographer, is passionate about sailing and nature. GPUs help him produce beautiful work as he travels the world. |

CUDA NEWS |
New CUDA Book
Congrats to NVIDIANs Gregory Ruetsch and Massimiliano Fatica, who have authored a new book: CUDA Fortran for Scientists and Engineers: Best Practices for Efficient CUDA Fortran Programming (Morgan Kaufmann). The book is designed to show how high-performance application developers can leverage the power of GPUs using Fortran.
Tesla M2090 Redux
Looking for an entry-level Tesla GPU accelerator? Want to expand your existing M2090 cluster? The Tesla M2090 is back by popular demand. At the same price point as a popular CPU, it easily achieves 2X the performance for many applications. Contact a Tesla Preferred Partner.
Tell Us Your CUDA Story
At SC13, NVIDIA will highlight CUDA stories from around the world. If you are a CUDA developer, tell us how you are using CUDA in 140 characters or less. Your submission will be considered for display in the NVIDIA booth and/or on the NVIDIA website. Respond here.
