NVIDIA CUDA: Week in Review -- Issue 57NVIDIA CUDA & GPU computing news from around the worldCUDA SPOTLIGHT This week's spotlight is on Dr. Vincent Natoli, president and founder of Stone Ridge Technology. Here's a preview of our interview: NVIDIA: Vincent, tell us a bit about Stone Ridge Technology. Vincent: Stone Ridge provides products and services to the HPC market. I had the idea for the company back in 2002 and started it full time in 2005.
Vincent: Most of our customers are in the oil and gas industry. We port, optimize and develop from scratch high performance technical codes for some of the biggest corporations in the world. NVIDIA: What advice do you have for developers considering GPU computing? Vincent: I would say that if performance is important to you then GPU computing is well worth a try. Take a look at CUDA Zone to find a code similar to your own to see what kind of performance you can expect from the GPU. Profile your code and try porting the most significant hotspot first. The potential gain is well worth a few weeks of investigation. Along the way you will learn a lot about your code.
