S0383 Speedup Derivatives and Structured Products<br />
Pricing, Reduce TCO Using <strong>GPU</strong>s<br />
Numerix will share its experience using <strong>GPU</strong> to significantly<br />
reduce its customers’ Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and<br />
accelerate forward Monte Carlo pricing methods and hybrid<br />
models of complex financial structured products and variable<br />
annuities. Numerix will describe how it combines complex<br />
financial and actuarial modeling with user scripting to drive <strong>GPU</strong><br />
execution from a script interpreted at run time. This architecture<br />
is well suited to financial services firms with portfolios of many<br />
different types of structured products where deals are<br />
represented independently from the models used to price them.<br />

S0420 NSight IDE for Linux and Mac<br />
NSight IDE for Linux and Mac is an all-in-one development<br />
environment that lets you develop, debug and optimize CUDA code in<br />
an integrated UI environment. If you were waiting for an IDE on Linux<br />
and Mac then this session is for you. This session provides a detail<br />
usage walk-through of a fully CUDA aware source editor, build<br />
integration of the CUDA toolchain, graphical debugger for both CPU<br />
and <strong>GPU</strong>, and graphical profiler to enable performance optimization.<br />
Speaker(s): David Goodwin (Software Engineer, NVIDIA), Eugene<br />

S0431 Evolving Use of <strong>GPU</strong> for Dassault Systems<br />
Simulation Products<br />
SIMULIA, the Dassault Systems brand for simuliation, has been<br />
working with NVIDIA GP<strong>GPU</strong> cards to accelerate the computation<br />
required in doing large-scale structural finite-element<br />
simulations with the widely used Abaqus product line. SIMULIA’s<br />
initial efforts with GP<strong>GPU</strong>’s have been focused on accelerating<br />
particularly costly parts of the code when running both on<br />
workstations and clusters. We will look at success in these areas<br />
with existing products. Futher SIMULIA is now looking at how<br />
evolving programming models like OpenACC open the door to<br />
using <strong>GPU</strong>’s as a compute platform more than acceleration for<br />
limited parts of an application.<br />
Speaker(s): Luis Crivelli (Dassault Systemes, SIMULIA)<br />

S0531 Exascaling Your Apps<br />
In the global exascale race, hardware often takes center stage.<br />
But the race might ultimately be won or lost based on how well<br />
the industry optimizes new and existing applications for extreme<br />
parallelism. Today’s apps will not just run on tomorrow’s systems,<br />
so we must think strategically and creatively about how to design<br />
applications that take maximum advantage of the first power-<br />
efficient, accelerator-driven exascale systems. This panel of HPC,<br />
software and computer science experts will discuss what we can,<br />
and should be doing, including a review of new scientific and<br />
commercial HPC requirements, programming model options and<br />
how to best align architecture and software design processes.<br />
Speaker(s): Mike Bernhardt (The Exascale Report), Olav Lindtjorn<br />
(Schlumberger), Satoshi Matsuoka (Titech), Steve Scott (CTO, Tesla<br />
Business, NVIDIA), Jeff Vetter (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) )<br />

S0805 CUDA Profiler Training on Windows<br />
Nsight offers a comprehensive set of performance analysis tools.<br />
From the ability to trace complete system multi-core CPU and<br />
multi <strong>GPU</strong> activities, to profile CUDA kernel with precise profiling<br />
experiments, developers can identify system level optimization<br />
opportunities as well as expensive and inefficient CUDA kernels<br />
requiring in-depth analysis with the CUDA profiler. Through a set<br />
of comprehensive exercises, the attendee will be able to utilize<br />
these features to become fully proficient at optimizing complex<br />
CUDA applications.<br />

S2000 Emerging Companies Summit Opening Address,<br />
Followed by CEO on Stage featuring Rocketick and Cortexica<br />
The Emerging Companies Summit is a unique forum for startup<br />
companies to showcase innovative applications that leverage the<br />
<strong>GPU</strong> to solve visual and compute-intensive problems. The opening<br />
address includes an overview of NVIDIA’s <strong>GPU</strong> ecosystem<br />
development activities. ECS is a great opportunity to discover new<br />
players in the <strong>GPU</strong> ecosystem, find great investments, explore<br />
partnership and customer/vendor opportunities, network/build<br />
relationships, and discuss the future of an industry that is<br />
reshaping computing. Immediately following the opening address is<br />
the ECS CEO on Stage session featuring two startups who will each<br />
have 15 minutes to introduce their companies and interact with a<br />
panel of leading venture capitalists, technology executives, and<br />
industry analysts.<br />

S0225 Speedup Altair RADIOSS Solvers Using NVIDIA <strong>GPU</strong><br />
Solvers are the heart of Altair’s HyperWorks computer aided<br />
engineering simulation software. In this session, you will learn how<br />
<strong>GPU</strong> can improve their performance. Direct solver is widely used in<br />
structural analysis and sensitivity calculations. By offloading the<br />
intensive matrix computation on the <strong>GPU</strong> and using heterogeneous<br />
computing, you will discover how its speed can be increased<br />
compared to multi-core approach. Iterative solver is particularly<br />
suited to solve large problems with millions of degrees of freedom.<br />
An innovative hybrid parallelization using multi <strong>GPU</strong>s and MPI<br />
allowing dramatic solution time reduction will be presented.<br />
