CUDA U Is Now in Session

New educational section launches on CUDA Zone

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 13 -- NVIDIA Corp. has launched "CUDA U," a new section on CUDA Zone (www.nvidia.com/cuda) that provides students, instructors, and developers educational resources for its CUDA programming environment. Now there is one place to go for CUDA instructional material, syllabuses and curricula, and information on schools and programs that offer CUDA instruction. CUDA U can be found at www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_education.

NVIDIA's CUDA technology is a programming environment based on the industry-standard C language that unlocks the massively parallel computational capabilities of the GPU processor in most PCs. Over 80 million CUDA-capable Quadro, GeForce, and Tesla GPUs are already deployed and thousands of programmers are using the free CUDA software tools to accelerate applications -- from video and audio encoding to oil and gas exploration, product design, medical imaging, scientific research, and finance. A number of schools and universities offer instruction in CUDA technology and this Web site provides a one-stop shop for information and resources about and for these programs.

The CUDA U site currently includes:

CUDA documentation and examples.
Instructional articles and courses.
iPod-ready video lectures from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign course "Programming Massively Parallel Processors."
Contact information for universities and programs that offer CUDA instruction.
CUDA training seminars from major events worldwide.
Information on how instructors can link their course materials to the CUDA U site and how to apply for NVIDIA's Professor.
Partnership Program, which offers technical and financial support for educational programs and institutions.

NVIDIA Works On CPU Co-Dependency Issues with Kepler GPU

NVIDIA is telling everyone that the GK110, its new Kepler GPU aimed at supercomputing, is all about improving performance per watt. But the other driving theme behind the new architecture is reducing the GPU's reliance on its CPU host. How well it accomplishes both these goals areas could determine the success of the new chip in high performance computing.
