Beta Version of NVIDIA CUDAT Unleashes Power of GPU Computing

By DE Editors

A public beta of the NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) CUDAT Software Developer Kit (SDK) and C-compiler for computing on NVIDIA GPUs is available for download. GPU Computing with the CUDA SDK is a new approach where hundreds of on-chip processors simultaneously communicate to confront complex computing problems. 

“With the recent introduction of CUDA technology, the parallel computing power of the GPU is now accessible to virtually any developer through standard C programming language,” said Andy Keane, general manager of GPU Computing at NVIDIA. The CUDA technology is available in GeForce 8800 graphics and future NVIDIA Quadro Professional Graphics solutions. 

Developers can download the beta version of the CUDA SDK and C-compiler for Windows XP and Linux (RedHat Release 4 Update 3) by clicking here. GPU Computing Forums for news, discussion, and programming tips are also available by clicking here.
