CUDA 4.0 Announced

This week’s spotlight is on CUDA 4.0. We touched base with Sanford Russell, Director of CUDA Marketing, about the significance of this next-generation software.

NVIDIA: Why is CUDA 4.0 important?

Sanford: When we first released CUDA 1.0 in 2007, it was targeted to early adopters. Since then, it has evolved into a robust software package used around the world. The latest version, CUDA 4.0, is perfect for C/C++ and Fortran parallel developers. We see it being attractive to a broad base of developers, including those who may have been on the fence about parallel computing. Every year, the return on investment for CUDA-based application development becomes more compelling.

NVIDIA: What’s new in CUDA 4.0?

Sanford: We have three critical new features, all of which make parallel programming easier and accessible to more developers:
- NVIDIA GPUDirect 2.0, which enables peer-to-peer memory
access and thus faster multi-GPU programming;
- Unified Virtual Addressing, which provides a single flat
memory address space for CPU and GPU resources, enabling
quicker and easier parallel programming;
- More C++ capabilities and an easier way to program parallel
apps in C++ with the addition of the Thrust library of
template performance primitives.

NVIDIA: When will the software be available?

Sanford: The CUDA Toolkit 4.0 Release Candidate will be available for download on Friday for CUDA Registered Developers.
- You can register at: www.nvidia.com/paralleldeveloper.
- The software will be available at:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_4_0_RC_downloads.html.

- For more info, see Sanford’s post on the NVIDIA blog: http://blogs.nvidia.com/
- Register for the CUDA 4.0 webinar (Fri., March 4, by Will Ramey of NVIDIA): http://bit.ly/fiMSzX
- Read about CUDA 4.0 in the press: The Register; Anandtech; Dr. Dobb’s; HPCwire

GPU Computing Meetups Spring Up

back to the top

As the website gpgpu.org recently reported, a number of GPU computing “Meetups” have sprung up. These professional groups – which leverage the social media platform Meetup – have formed in New York City, Silicon Valley, Boston, Chicago, Albuquerque and Tokyo in the first eight weeks of 2011. The networks provide a way for developers and business people to get together informally to discuss applications, markets and technologies related to GPU computing. The first GPU Meetups were founded in Australia – in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.
- To see a list of GPU-related Meetups, visit: http://gpu.meetup.com/

Gordon Bell Prize — Application Deadline
The ACM Gordon Bell Prizes are awarded each year to recognize outstanding achievement in high-performance computing. The purpose of the award is to track the progress over time of parallel computing. Abstracts are due April 1 and papers are due April 8.
- See: http://awards.acm.org/bell/

GTC 2011 — Save the Date!
The next GPU Technology Conference (GTC 2011) will take place October 11-14 in San Jose, California. Call for submissions will open soon.
- See: http://www.gputechconf.com

NEW: Each week we highlight sessions from GTC 2010 and SC10. Here are our picks for this week:
