I presented a presentation containing introduction and motivation of GPU computing and a simple CUDA code walk-though. The presentation file is available here. We planned the weekend project for this coming weekend: a multi touch interface for our sand box. Please stay tuned!
On Friday, Jan. 29 we had the first meeting of the club, and the turnout was quite surprising. I did not count but there were over 20 students present. First, I gave an overview of the club’s goals and talked about the VGC sandbox. Then, Darin gave a brief overview of CUDA, both a little […]
For grads like me, who are running simulations everyday, one CPU is far from enough. How can we make the best of multiple cores in our machine? For those who are more familiar with Matlab, parallel computing toolbox provides an extremely simple solution. Here is a simple way to use multiple cores in Matlab: matlabpool(4) % […]
We launched the VGC club today @ ECE departmental Christmas Party. Professors and students showed up and played with our interactive demos. We had a great fun. A good start of VGC!
In preparation for the launch of the Video Geeks Club, I prepared a demo to demonstrate the power and flexibility of GPU programming using CUDA. I hacked a fluid simulation demo in CUDA SDK. It solves PDEs that model fluid dynamics in real time on a GPU (image on right). Then, I computed sparse optical […]
A club for video geeks, grad and undergrad students interested in fun and cool applications of image and video processing, computer graphics and computer vision, is being formed. Prof. Janusz Konrad is club’s mentor and Meng Wang, a PhD candidate in the ECE Department, is the club’s first member and adviser. A series of visual […]
