NVIDIA CUDA and GPU Computing News From Around the WorldNVIDIA CUDA: Week in ReviewGPU Computing Momentum at Microway This week's Spotlight is on Stephen Fried, founder of Microway and veteran technology inventor. Steve is a former space scientist and FAA flight examiner who can be found on weekends soaring in his sailplane over the Green Mountains of Vermont. We caught up with Steve after learning that BioStack-LS - a CUDA/Tesla-based Microway product - was named "Best of Show" finalist at the Bio-IT World Conference in Boston this week. Here's an extract from our interview: NVIDIA: Steve, tell us about Microway.
Steve: We develop x86-based Linux clusters whose nodes each employ a pair of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. For the past four years, we've been providing customers with NVIDIA: Where are you seeing the most momentum in GPU computing? Steve: Applications that manipulate matrices or rely on linear algebra techniques are excellent candidates for a system of parallel GPGPUs. - Read the complete interview here: https://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_spotlights.html CUDA DEVELOPER NEWS Update on Keeneland: The Keeneland Project is a five-year, $12 million grant awarded by the NSF for creation of an experimental high-performance system.
