CUDPP 1.0 alpha
CUDPP 1.0 is here! We’ve revamped the CUDPP public interface to improve usability, and we’ve added a bunch
of new features, with even more to come. Because this interface is quite new, we want to give people a chance
to try it out and send us feedback on any issues they discover. For this reason we’ve called this an alpha
release – we may yet tweak the interface. In addition, there are a couple of features that didn’t make this
release that we hope to add before 1.0 final is released. If you have feedback on the new interface, please
tell us on the CUDPP Google Group
CUDPP 1.0 New Features and Improvements
[*]New Plan Interface for configuring CUDPP algorithms. This is modeled after the FFTW and CUFFT libraries.
[*]Segmented Scan: an algorithm for performing multiple variable-length scans in parallel. Useful for algorithms such as parallel quicksort, parallel sparse matrix-vector multiplication, and more.
[*]Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (based on segmented scan)
[*]An improved scan algorithm, called “warp scan”, for higher performance and simpler code.
[*]Scans and segmented scans now support add, multiply, maximum, and minimum operators.
[*]Inclusive scans and segmented scans are now supported.
[*]Improved, more useful, cudppCompact() interface.
[*]Backward compact (reverse-and-compact) is now supported.
[*]CUDA 2.0 support
[*]Support for Mac OS X and Windows Vista
