MicroCFD Virtual Wind Tunnel software gets GPU acceleration
The MicroCFD Virtual Wind Tunnel, Educational & Professional Edition, has recently been upgraded. The new version (1.8) supports multi-core CPUs and CUDA core GPUs and runs significantly faster than the previous single-processor version.
Mendel-GPU: Haplotyping and genotype imputation on Graphics Processing Units
Our GPU software delivers haplotyping and imputation accuracies comparable to competing programs at a fraction of the computational cost and peak memory demand.
Free high-quality BC7 GPU texture compressor
BC7 is a block compression scheme that compresses a 4×4 block of 24-bit or 32-bit pixels into 16 bytes. Two colors in RGB or RGBA space are used as endpoints for interpolation to calculate the rest of the block of pixels.
LOGO – GPU Accelerated Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) Solver
Logo: High Performance GPU-based TSP Solver. It is an approximate stochastic solver based on Iterative Local Search and 2-opt local search merhod. Despite limited shared memory resources, this implementation is able to solve arbitrarily large instances.
Accelerated protein structure comparison using TM-score-GPU
We have therefore implemented a very fast version of TM-score for Graphical Processing Units (TM-score-GPU), using a new and novel hybrid Kabsch/quaternion method for calculating the optimal superposition and RMSD that is designed for parallel applications.
PGCL: PGI OpenCL Compiler for ARM
PGCL is an OpenCL framework for compiling and running OpenCL 1.1 embedded profile applications on the ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 and follow-on platforms using a single ARM core as the OpenCL host and multiple ARM cores as an OpenCL computing device.
GPUmotif: An Ultra-Fast and Energy-Efficient Motif Analysis Program Using GPU
We have developed a novel algorithm called Hybrid Motif Sampler (HMS) that enables more scalable and accurate motif analysis. We proposed a “fragmentation” technique to hide data transfer time between memories.
Portable OpenCL 0.6 is released
Portable OpenCL (pocl) aims to be an efficient open source implementation of the OpenCL 1.2 standard. In addition to producing an easily portable open source OpenCL implementation, another major goal of the project is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with compiler optimizations, reducing the need for target-dependent manual optimizations.
Accelerating VASP electronic structure calculations using graphic processing units
We have provided a hybrid massively parallelized molecular dynamic VASP ab initio software for GPUs clusters. To avoid continuously transferring data from CPUs to GPUs, we have ported some functions in CUDA and achieved a balanced combination between CUFFT, CUBLAS, and CUDA.
CUDA 5 Release Candidate is Now Available
NVIDIA today announced availability of the NVIDIA CUDA 5 release candidate, the latest version of the industry’s leading parallel computing platform and programming model.
