NVIDIA today released a new version of its CUDA parallel computing platform, which will make it easier for researchers and engineers to advance their simulations and computational work by using GPUs. The new NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing platform features a re-designed Visual Profiler with automated performance analysis, a new compiler based on the LLVM open-source compiler infrastructure, delivering up to 10 percent speed up in application performance along with hundreds of new imaging and signal processing functions, doubling the size of the NVIDIA Performance Primitives (NPP) library.

The latest CUDA parallel computing platform release is available for free of charge on the NVIDIA developer web site at http://developer.nvidia.com/getcuda.
