NVIDIA released CUDA 7 for all to use! Download here for Windows, Linux x86, Linux Power 8, and MacOSX:
Productivity and Performance Improvements
- C++11 support makes it easier for C++ developers to accelerate their applications
- Write less code with ‘auto’ and ‘lambda’, especially when using the Thrust template library.
- New cuSOLVER library of dense and sparse direct solvers
Significant acceleration for Computer Vision, CFD, Computational Chemistry, and Linear Optimization applications. - Key LAPACK dense solvers 3-6x faster than MKL.
Dense solvers include Cholesky, LU, SVD and QR
Sparse direct solvers 2-14x faster than CPU-only equivalents. - Sparse solvers include direct solvers and eigensolvers
Runtime Compilation enables highly optimized kernels to be generated at runtime. - Improve performance by removing conditional logic and only evaluating special cases when necessary.
