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 ...

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 ...

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

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 CPU and the GPU share access to some pages of memory. New Linux code helps the kernel keep track of memory holding data for the GPU. The management of video hardware has long been an area of ...

This course provides an introduction to Kernel programming for the Linux operating system, and the development of Linux kernel drivers for Embedded devices. The Yocto build system is introduced, which ...
