After many long weeks (months, really) spent applying for and searching for the right job, white smoke! (sorry, couldn’t resist) I will be joining Luke Olson, Bill Gropp, Mike Heath and everyone else in the Scientific Computing Group at the Computer Science Department of the University of Illinois at …

This October I had the honor of presenting my work on using Python with GPUs at PyData NYC 2012.

There was also a panel discussion on Python+Parallel that I was a part of—great fun.

Also be sure to check out all the videos of the other great talks …

Like last year, I had the honor of being invited to present PyCUDA and PyOpenCL along with a few examples of their use to a great crowd at Nvidia‘s inaugural GPU Technology Conference 2010.

At the recent PyCon Quattro, which took place in early May in the beautiful Tuscan city of Florence, Fabrizio Milo gave a talk on PyCUDA entitled

PyCuda: Come sfruttare la potenza delle schede video nelle applicazioni python (PyCUDA: How to make use of the power of graphics cards in Python …

Quite often, I hear complaints that coding for GPUs is difficult. In response to such comments, I believe that, for correct perspective, the discussion needs to be framed somewhat differently.

First of all, squeezing the last drop of performance out of modern CPUs is hard, too. Here’s a nice …

In my opinion, GPU computing is significant because I—as a grad student—can easily afford a machine that allows me to perform a simulation like the following in 40 minutes instead of a whole workday. That’s why.

If you’re curious, this shows the density of a vortex …

Nicolas Pinto, Yunsup Lee, Bryan Catanzaro, Paul Ivanov, Ahmed Fasih and I have recently submitted an article that explains how PyCUDA allows the user to do run-time code generation (“RTCG”), and how that is an enormous boon to implementation efforts of most high-performance codes. Among many other things, PyCUDA also …

This past week, I had the honor of presenting a talk on PyCUDA at Nvidia‘s inaugural GPU Technology Conference.
