Torben’s Corner – A GPU Computing Gem for Jacket Programmers!

John MelonakosBenchmarks Leave a Comment

In January, we introduced you to Torben’s Corner – a resource wiki created and maintained by Jacket programming guru, Torben Larsen at Aalborg University in Denmark.  Many Jacket programmers have gained valuable insights from Torben’s Corner, including GPU performance charts, coding guidelines, special tricks. Since January, many wonderful additions have been added to Torben’s Corner.  We think you will find value in not only this new information but the entire resource.  Here is a quick summary of the most recent additions with links to the information: Benchmarking Update Torben’s Corner maintains a long list of benchmarks specifically detailing speedups of Jacket relative to standard MATLAB. This became an enormous task due to the sheer number of functions supported by Jacket …

Torben’s Corner

We work very closely with our customers and really appreciate the feedback we receive and value the insight provided.  One Jacket programmer has started to post fantastic content on the Jacket Documentation Wiki under Torben’s Corner. This content is maintained by Torben Larsen‘s team at AAU focusing primarily on outlining performance observations between GPUs and CPUs.  This information is not only of great value to our technical team but also valuable to the entire Jacket community.  Thanks Torben for this great resource!

Welcome!

In an effort to keep people up-to-date with Jacket-related stuff, we are pleased to launch this new blog.  This blog will serve a few purposes: it is a place for things that don’t really belong in the documentation, but still need a good explanation it is a place for announcements and updates Other sources of information include: The Jacket User Guide – Official Jacket documentation The Jacket Wiki – Online Jacket documentation The Jacket Forums – Online forums where users can post questions, bugs, experiences, feature requests, etc. We look forward to the launch of this blog and working with they community to make GPU MATLAB computing a valuable addition to your projects.
