NVIDIA CUDA: Week in Review Issue 54NVIDIA CUDA & GPU computing news from around the worldCUDA SPOTLIGHT
Compute the Cure Here's a preview of our interview with Wu: NVIDIA: Congrats on the Compute the Cure award. What will you focus on? Wu: We plan to use the philanthropic award from the NVIDIA Foundation to fundamentally change the way cancer biologists conduct their science. NVIDIA: How does GPU computing play a role in your work? Wu: I work at the intersection of systems software, middleware and application software and tools. The power of GPU computing is critical to my work and to the domain scientists and engineers with whom I collaborate. NVIDIA: What are the advantages of CUDA? Wu: CUDA provides an easily accessible, general-purpose programming model for the GPU (i.e., it has a relatively short learning curve). With CUDA, more people can get up and running faster to solve important challenges that lend themselves to parallel programming.
