Nvidia has gone one step further in making headways into high performance computing. Announced on the Beowulf mailing list, they have released a Rocks roll containing their CUDA GPU toolkit. The CUDA libraries, runtime and associated SDK allow scientific users to harness the computational power available in Nvidia graphics processing units [GPUs]. The CUDA libraries contain many common scientific routines, such as BLAS, FFTs, matrix manipulation and parallel sorting. The Rocks roll allows users utilizing the Rocks cluster toolkit to easily integrate the CUDA tools in their environment. So far the roll is only available for the x86_64 architecture.
