NVIDIA CUDA SDK x64 - CUDA Advanced Topics

The CUDA Developer SDK provides examples with source code, utilities, and white papers to help you get started writing software with CUDA. The SDK includes dozens of code samples covering a wide range of applications including:

Simple techniques such as C++ code integration and efficient loading of custom datatypes
How-To examples covering CUDA BLAS and FFT libraries, texture fetching in CUDA, and CUDA interoperation with the OpenGL and Direct3D graphics APIS
Linear algebra primitives such as matrix transpose and matrix-matrix multiplication
Data-parallel algorithms such as parallel prefix sum of large arrays
Performance: profiling using timers and bandwidth tests
Advanced application examples such as image convolution, Black-Scholes options pricing and binomial options pricing
