Scientists explore astrophysical problems with NVIDIA GPUs
At AstroGPU 2007, NVIDIA will offer a one-day tutorial course on CUDA, the company’s C-Compiler for GPU programming. The tutorial will provide attendees with a detailed introduction to CUDA as well as advanced optimization strategies and domain-specific examples useful to astronomers and astrophysicists. 
AstroGPU 2007 offers an opportunity for scientists to explore and discuss the applicability of GPUs to astrophysical problems. The two-day workshop brings together astrophysicists and colleagues from other science disciplines, with key industry representatives who will demonstrate, in tutorial sessions, GPU hardware, programming tools and techniques. The workshop will also offer roundtable discussions on high-performance computing, and the importance of GPUs as a computing platform for astrophysics.
