Release features a GPU debugger and profiler

I have joined the free Nvidia Partner program and downloaded the CUDA 2.2 beta for 64-bit Vista and 64-bit Ubuntu.

Publicly revealed features include a GPU profiler that now works on Vista, a GPU debugger that now works on 64-bit Linux, and a handful of new APIs introduced in response to developer feedback.

I’ll have more to say about it in a few weeks when the final version ships and the NDA lifts. For more information, or to join the Partner program and obtain the beta, view the CUDA 2.2 beta features announcement on the Nvidia CUDA Zone forums.

(Corrected. An earlier version of this posting attributed characteristics of the CUDA hardware to the CUDA SDK.)
