December 2013: Videos are not ready yet, but link will be put here. Amsterdam, 20 June – Applied GPGPU-days in Amsterdam. Keep your agenda free for this event. What can you do with GPUs to speed up computations? This year we can see various examples where OpenCL and CUDA have been used. We hope to

Bored at work? Go start working for one of the anti-boring GPU-expert companies: StreamHPC (Netherlands, EU), Appilo (Israel) or AccelerEyes (Georgia, US). We all look for people who know how to code GPUs. Experience is key, so you need to have at least one year of experience in GPU-programming. Submit your CV now and don’t

The Tokyo Demo Fest 2013 is one of the many demo-parties around the globe. At such parties is where great programmers meet great artists and show off what came out of their collaborations. The winner of this year used OpenCL to compute real-time procedurally generated geometries. For the rest C++, OpenGL and Gamemonkey Script was

GPUVerify is a tool for formal analysis of GPU kernels written in OpenCL and CUDA. The tool can prove that kernels are free from certain types of defect, such as data races and bugs. This is quite useful feedback for any GPU-programmer. Below you find a online version of the tool (please don’t break it!).

From 21 to 23 August StreamHPC will give a 3-day training in OpenCL. Here you will learn how to develop OpenCL-programs. A separate ticket for only the first day can be bought, as then will be a crash-course into OpenCL. Module basics. The second and third day will all about parallel-algorithm design, optimisation and error-handling.

Knowing all errors by heart is good for quick programming, but not always the best option. Therefore I started to create a full list with extra info, taken from cl.h and the reference documentation. The problem with many error-codes is that they are sometimes context-dependent and then become quite useless in helping the programmer out.

StreamHPC supports the ERSA conference, 22-25 July in Las Vegas. At that conference there will be an award given to “Best Young Entrepreneur” and I’d like you to send in a proposal. The winner gets an NVIDIA Tesla K20! Young entrepreneurs and academics with a great product/project are invited to present their solution. As the

On the 20th of April 2013 there was an interesting discussion between Jan Gray and David Kanter. Jan is a specialist in C++ and FPGAs (twitter, homepage). David is a specialist in CPU and GPU architectures (twitter, homepage). Both know their ways well in the field of semiconductors. It is always a joy to follow their short

WebCL is a great technique to have compute-power in the browser. After WebGL which gives high-end graphics in the browser, this is a logical step on the road towards the browser-only operating system (like Chrome OS, but more will follow). Another way to look at technologies like WebCL, is that it makes it possible to
