CUDA 5.5

Megjelent az NVIDIA CUDA 5.5 Release Candidate, benne a következő újdonságokkal:

• Multi-process MPI debugging & profiling
• Single GPU debugging for Linux
• Step-by-step guided performance analysis
• Static CUDA runtime library
• RPM/DEB packaging & new NVIDIA repo
• Many documentation updates. For example, the Runtime and Driver APIs are now split into separate docs. Lots of NVVM details.
• CUDA MPS: "CUDA MPS is a feature that allows multiple CUDA processes to share a single GPU context."
• A new utility "nvdisasm". See CUDA Binary Utilities.
• CUDA-GDB can now be used to debug a CUDA application on the same GPU that is rendering the desktop GUI. This feature is available on Linux with devices of compute capability 3.5.
• Debugging of long-running or indefinite CUDA kernels that would otherwise encounter a launch timeout is now possible. This feature is available on Linux with devices of compute capability 3.5
• Multiple CUDA-GDB sessions can simultaneously debug CUDA applications on the same GPU. This feature is available on Linux with devices of compute capability 3.5
• Nsight Eclipse Edition now provides remote debugging of CUDA applications for Linux targets.
• The Nsight Eclipse Edition debugger now provides a memory viewer for both host and device memory.
• Nsight Eclipse Edition is updated to use Eclipse Platform 3.8.2 and Eclipse CDT 8.1.2
