CUDA!
Really excited this semester! Although I had a great Christmas break, it's good to be back :)
Why am I so excited? CUDA! I'm enrolled in the GPU610 class this semester, which is an intro to parallel programming using CUDA, which is of course nVidia's platform for parallel computing using their GPUs.
The school's equipped GTX 480s, pretty bad ass few years back, still pretty bad ass for what we're doing. Unfortunately for me as excited as I am about CUDA, I didn't have the forethought to purchase a nVidia GPU early last year when I was in the market for GPUs. So I'll only be able to run my code on campus (for now). I'm thinking of grabbing a GTX 650 ti eventually; 768 cuda cores, not bad.
Anyway way, I'll be updating my progress in this course as the lectures go by, hopefully I'll find some interesting projects to work on.
