NVIDIA's CUDA 5 Boasts Interesting New Features
Posted by Michael Larabel on October 15, 2012
NVIDIA released CUDA 5.0 on Monday morning and it boasts many new features for this popular GPGPU environment.
NVIDIA CUDA 5 presents dynamic parallelism by allowing for dynamically spawning new threads, a new CUDA BLAS library, and GPUDirect Technology for enabling direct communication between GPUs and other PCI Express devices.
There's also a new NVIDIA Nsight Eclipse Edition for generating CUDA code more easily through the Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) with CUDA support. There's also a new online CUDA resource center as part of the CUDA 5 debut.
CUDA 5 for all platforms is available from NVIDIA's Developer Center.
