AMD, Intel, and startups like Spectral Compute line up to reduce hardware lock-in and snatch chip giant's computing crown ...

In a move that shouldn't be that surprising, NVIDIA has announced that its popular CUDA platform is being ported to x86. The obvious angle here is that this will give NVIDIA a weapon against OpenCL ...

This isn’t a review, but given the popularity of my last CUDA book review, I thought I’d mention that Addison-Wesley has published a new book called CUDA by Example: An Introduction to General-Purpose ...

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 ...

A small British software startup called Spectral Compute Ltd. believes it has what it takes to break Nvidia Corp.’s stranglehold on artificial intelligence data centers after raising $6 million in ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

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 ...

In this Programming Throwdown podcast, Mark Harris from Nvidia describes CUDA programming for GPUs. “CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic ...

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 ...
