Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) were originally designed to perform the highly parallel computations required for graphics rendering. But over the last couple of years, they’ve proven to be powerful ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

Today marks the official launch of PeakStream, a software start-up that has been operating in stealth mode for over a year now while developing a new type of software platform aimed at making ...

NVIDIA has announced that it will transition all GPU-related kernel modules to open source. Cutting-edge modules such as NVIDIA Grace Hopper and NVIDIA Blackwell will be supported only as open source ...

Researchers from Stanford, Nvidia, and Together AI have developed a new technique that can discover new solutions to very complex problems. For example, they managed to optimize a critical GPU kernel ...

The optimisation of GPU kernels through performance tuning and auto-tuning approaches has become essential in maximising computational efficiency on modern heterogeneous architectures. Researchers ...

Intel is once again investing in Linux development. The company has recently posted several job openings aimed at strengthening its Linux graphics driver and GPU software teams, signaling continued ...

Project Babylon would extend the reach of Java to foreign programming models such as machine learning models, GPUs, SQL, and differential programming. Java would be extended to foreign programming ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. 1. GPUs are just for rendering video and processing images. As the name would imply, graphics processing units (GPUs) ...
