When I wrote about password guessing using GPUs last week, I mentioned that password guessing is an embarrassingly parallel problem, right up there with 3-D rendering, face recognition, Monte Carlo ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The details on Dynamic Parallelism were hard to find after the new feature was introduced as part of the GTC 2012 keynote yesterday. Now Nvidia has followed up with a short whitepaper that describes ...

I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...
