Maximize your computing performance
Welcome to the supercomputing blog! This website will focus on how to develop extremely high performance computing applications using a variety of techniques. As time goes by and computers continue to get faster, there is always an insatiable hunger to have even higher performance in order to solve the most complex computing challenges available. Just a few years ago, computers with more than one processor core were rare. Today, most computers being sold have at least two processor cores, and many computers
CUDA is nVidia’s solution to extremely high performance parallel computing. The general idea of CUDA is to use the massive processing power available in modern nVidia graphics cards in order to do general purpose computations. Most applications that use CUDA have experienced a massive speedup of anywhere from 2x to 200x.
