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 ...

Every few years or so, a development in computing results in a sea change and a need for specialized workers to take advantage of the new technology. Whether that’s COBOL in the 60s and 70s, HTML in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Over at the Nvidia blog, Mark Harris has posted a simple introduction to CUDA, the popular parallel computing platform and programming model from NVIDIA. I wrote a previous “Easy Introduction” to CUDA ...

The CUDA toolkit is now packaged with Rocky Linux, SUSE Linux, and Ubuntu. This will make life easier for AI developers on these Linux distros. It will also speed up AI development and deployments on ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are traditionally designed to handle graphics computational tasks, such as image and video processing and rendering, 2D and 3D graphics, vectoring, and more.

Nvidia Corporation has launched its largest CUDA update in two decades, signaling a strategic response to open-source competition from Triton. The NVDA update introduces a tile-based programming model ...

Nvidia (NVDA) has launched CUDA 13.1 and CUDA Tile, which the Jensen Huang-led company said is the most substantial advancement to the platform since its release about 20 years ago. "This exciting ...
