The company Nvidia has introduced a new version of its toolkit CUDA Toolkit 3.0. Version 3.0 offers developers access to the features introduced in the modern architecture of Fermi. GPU architecture Fermi should appear on the market in the next few weeks, but developers can now start creating parallel applications with full support for 64-bit graphics processor. In addition, CUDA Toolkit 3.0 helps you to use such features of the architecture Fermi, as the creation and concurrent use of multiple copies of processing cores, the records of parity ECC, the simultaneous execution cores, optimized computational accuracy in the mode of "double precision", as well as support for libraries of linear algebra, including Blas and Lapack. An important innovation in the package CUDA Toolkit 3.0 has support for the language C + +: previous code for CUDA could only write in C. In addition, improved interaction between the mechanisms of graphics and tools to perform calculations for general purposes. Now libraries, Direct3D 9, 10 and 11, and OpenGL library can be used for data processing through the mechanism of CUDA, as well as for applications OpenCL (open standard computations using graphics processors). Included in the CUDA Toolkit 3.0 Special Library for the C language provides support for hardware emulation mode for debugging applications. Nevertheless, the company Nvidia has warned developers that it will focus on supporting the new debugging tools instead of the outdated emulators. The company Nvidia also announced the release of updated development tools for Linux, as well as for the new cluster computer system Tesla.
Miguel de Icaza, leader of the GNOME and Mono, published in his blog rebuttal information, indicating the fundamental change in his point of view and recognition of the dangers of using Mono and technologies Microsoft, said Linux.org.ru. Miguel recently criticized the policy of Microsoft's. NET. Miguel said that the journalist who published this information proved to be dishonest and tore his words out of context, presenting them under a completely different angle. As proof, Miguel is an excerpt of correspondence, in which figured a request to voice opinions opponents. For some strange coincidence, namely presentation of alternative points of view was published in the form of sensations, a statement of personal changes in attitudes Miguel.
The company Myriad Group, developer of mobile software, has released a tool for transforming mobile Java-based applications in the Android-program, said RealCoding. J2Android converts the compiled Java-midlets, including games, to launch them in an environment Dalvik, register-oriented virtual Java-machine, which is equipped with all the phones running Android. Besides converting, the resulting applications are scaled to full screen view. J2Android adds support for touchscreen control, if the original application is controlled by a digital keypad. The developers, handset manufacturers, operators and application stores opened a new source of income: J2Android can enrich Android-ecosystem, thereby increasing its popularity, a set of multiple mobile Java-based applications.
