About Justin Foley (for Microway)

I'm a developer with a background in particle physics. My background is in Lattice Quantum ChromoDynamics (LQCD), which is a numerical treatment of the Strong nuclear interaction and a significant HPC application. I currently spend most of my time contributing to QUDA, a library for performing LQCD calculations on NVIDIA GPUs.

CUB in Action – some simple examples using the CUB template library

Posted on June 18, 2014 by Justin Foley (for Microway)

In my previous post, I presented a brief introduction to the CUB library of CUDA primitives written by Duane Merrill of NVIDIA. CUB provides a set of highly-configurable software components, which include warp- and block-level kernel components as well as … Continue reading →
