We just published a blog post on shared memory between GPUs and CPUs working nicely  "Real shared memory is here. Just to be on the same page, I mean sharing a pointer of allocated memory between CPU and GPU without paying dearly for it. For the past few years all the major hardware vendors have created their own SOC (System on Chip) which means that all or most of the

A new version of MAPS is out, this time it adds the ability to easily write CUDA code for multiple GPUs, we presented this work at Super Computing. There is also a new site  to help explain how to use the library. Mind you this is an academic work, and as such is still incomplete. link to paper and slides an example: __constant__ float kConvKernel[9*9]; __global__ void Conv2

People like to use strong terms, but over use and miss use lessens the power of those words. Peace activists don't usually carry weapons and brutally attack other people that haven't done any thing to them (even if they are solders).  This whole thing is a political stunt and nothing more. As all the supplies were passed to Gaza as do tons of other supplies

Source control is great. But usually you only find out when its to late. It used to be a pain :) but now its a breeze and even in complex situation with multiple users working on the same files a good source control solution can save you tons of time and headache. I have used cvs, then svn both of which can be a pain if more then one person is working on the same file. For the past 4 years i have
