A new GPU and high-performance computing meetup group has been formed in Pune, India.   The informal special interest group will bring together GPU users from all fields and experience levels in India, including academicians, researchers, scientists, device manufacturers, system integrators, service providers and all early adopters of HPC & GPU computing. The group, hosted [...]

We present GPU and APU accelerated computations of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) fields. The calculation of FTLEs is a computationally intensive process, as in order to obtain the sharp ridges associated with the Lagrangian Coherent Structures an extensive resampling of the flow field is required. The computational performance of this resampling is limited by the [...]

Today NVIDIA released CUDA 4.1, including a new CUDA Toolkit, SDK, Visual Profiler, Parallel Nsight IDE and NVIDIA device driver. CUDA 4.1 makes it easier to accelerate scientific research with GPUs with key features including a redesigned Visual Profiler with automated performance analysis and expert guidance; a new LLVM-based compiler that generates up to 10% faster [...]

AMD Fusion ’12 will be held June 11-14, 2012 in Bellevue, Washington at the Meydenbauer Center and the Hyatt Regency. AMD invites pioneers of next-generation software and the rapidly growing field of heterogeneous computing to share their latest work and research findings in the form of presentations. Presenters will have an opportunity to advocate new methodologies [...]

Reminder: the deadline to submit a research poster for this year’s GPU Technology Conference is Thursday, February 2, 2012. Selected poster presenters receive a discount to attend GTC. They are required to attend the conference in order to present their work at the GTC Poster Showcase.   GTC will be held May 14-17 in San [...]

PyCOOL (Cosmological Object-Oriented Lattice code) is a fast GPU accelerated program that solves the evolution of interacting scalar fields in an expanding universe with symplectic algorithms. The program has been written with the intention to hit a sweet spot of speed, accuracy and user friendliness. This is achieved by using the Python language with the  PyCUDA interface [...]
