NVIDIA CUDA: Week in Review - Issue 39NVIDIA CUDA & GPU computing news from around the worldCUDA SPOTLIGHT: Dell posted new paper on "Expanding the Boundaries of GPU Computing," which includes a case study about the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. CUDA NEWS: University of Illinois announced public release of NAMD 2.7 (NAnoscale Molecular Dynamics), a popular molecular dynamics code for simulation of large biomolecular systems. NEW ON CUDA ZONE: Realtime Tracking with a Pan-Tilt Camera - University of Massachusetts Extract: "The human eye is amazingly adept at tracking moving objects. The process is so natural to humans that it happens without any conscious effort. While this remarkable ability depends in part on the human brain's immense processing power, the fast response of the extraocular muscles and the eyeball's light weight are also vital. Even a small point and shoot camera is typically too heavy and slow to move with the agility of the human eye. How, then, can we give a computer the ability to track movement quickly and responsively?" Authors: Blake Foster, Rui Wang, Erik Learned-Miller; Univ. of Massachusetts Computer Graphics and Computer Vision Labs. CUDA JOB OF THE WEEK: Toshiba Medical Visualization Systems is seeking a Rendering/Visualization Scientist to join an Edinburgh-based team responsible for developing industry-leading 3D medical imaging technology.
