[from Pawel] our new machines.

The most important things now are to figure out how to install the compatible operating system and cuda driver on cudak5, which gives us some problems right now, and how to build cudak4 (I'm getting more & more impatient waiting for asus to respond within warranty process).

Those of you who want to help, let's meet on Tuesday in UTSC (>10:30)
Maybe we'll try out the newest beta cuda driver 256.25

Everybody else, how are the exercises going? mathGL installed and working?

May is the time for cpu-based computing, June is for gpu-based computing.
I'm looking forward to seeing your cpu-based, working, programs and their descriptions here, in May.

You need to be ready to do cuda on cudak3 initially, later on cudak5 and hopefully cudak4 and cudak1 (I'm repairing it; it will not be on 24/7, but it's a great development platform, with cuda setup similar to cudak3).
To start with, you should reproduce some Dr. Dobbs exercises. Please report successes asap, I imagine by the end of this week.

Reminder - on June 23 we must to be ready with our cuda programs, and some brief desrciption of them will be placed in this blog.

I'd love to see a demo of real-time compressible 2d hydrodynamics (it's difficult but we'll try with Jeffrey), and more than one demos of tau>1 disk calculations, 2d or 3d, done with cuda, using 100 million particles (my guess).

so this is the plan. remember, cuda takes time to learn. help each other, team up if you want, ask me questions.
