This release is addressing several bugs pointed out by users; we're still working on the MATLAB refactoring for a future version. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to post in the comments, the GPULib mailing list, or contact us directly at support@txcorp.com.

Also, one note; during testing of this release, we found some problems with using it on Windows Vista. We're looking for solutions, but at the moment XP is the better choice for running GPULib.

Thanks for the bug reports and questions!

GPULib 1.0.0 is available!

Tech-X Corporation is pleased to announce that GPULib 1.0.0 has been released. This first major release contains full bindings for IDL and MATLAB, as well as header files for C. Python bindings are also included. GPULib is available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows -- the release includes pre-built DLLs for Windows users, as well as build files for all platforms. Full details are at

http://gpulib.txcorp.com/

GPULib is available for non-commercial use under AGPL, as well as commercial licensing from Tech-X.

We'd like to thank all of the beta testers who asked questions, provided suggestions, and pointed out bugs in the code. :-) We'll keep working on improving the software, so please continue to tell us how we can best make the code suit your needs. The GPULib User's List is a good place to contact us, as well as your fellow GPULib users. You can also email us at support@txcorp.com if you run into technical issues.

GPULib 0.5 is now available

We've just released a new version of GPULib.  Version 0.5 is available at

http://gpulib.txcorp.com

The interface continues to improve for both IDL and MATLAB.  We've also made the package much easier to build; once you have CUDA installed, you should be able to build the software with a much more familiar 

tar -xvzf gpulib-0.5.tar.gz

cd gpulib-0.5

./configure

make

Also, this version of GPULib should build easily on Mac OS X as well, with the same steps as above.  With Apple using CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics chips in its new MacBook and MacBook Pro releases, this should allow even more users to begin using the GPU for number crunching.

For both Linux and OS X, the configure script will do its best to find IDL and MATLAB automatically.  If you don't have IDL or MATLAB, you can disable building those bindings.  See the README file for full details.

Once you have the package built, running

make check

will run a series of demos for IDL, MATLAB, and C.  The latter is currently just a skeleton, but we'll be adding more C examples soon.

Finally, many users have been asking for better documentation.  We're still working on the User's Guide, but in the meantime both the IDL and MATLAB APIs have much better documentation than the previous release.  If you run

make html

GPULib will generate comprehensive documentation for the IDL bindings, contained in gpulib-0.5/IDL/docs.  MATLAB users can run

help gpuArray

and browse the API and related documentation directly in MATLAB.

As always, feel free to leave questions, comments, feature requests, etc. in the comments, or email us at support@txcorp.com.
