Programmers have been interested in leveraging the highly parallel processing power of video cards to speed up applications that are not graphic in nature for a long time. Here, I explain how to do ...

Most notably, the chipmaker announced a compiler source code enabling software developers to add new languages and architecture support to Nvidia’s CUDA parallel programming model. The new ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

NVIDIA's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) makes programming and using thousands of simultaneous threads straightforward. CUDA turns workstations, clusters—and even laptops—into massively ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) were originally designed to perform the highly parallel computations required for graphics rendering. But over the last couple of years, they’ve proven to be powerful ...

In high performance computing, machine learning, and a growing set of other application areas, accelerated, heterogeneous systems are becoming the norm. With that state come several parallel ...

Nvidia earlier this month unveiled CUDA Tile, a programming model designed to make it easier to write and manage programs for GPUs across large datasets, part of what the chip giant claimed was its ...

Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could ...

PARALLEL DEBUGGING Debugging needs to be addressed regardless of the parallel programming approach. Existing debuggers are simply the starting point, because most don’t address many of the features ...
