NVIDIA Parallel Nsight Delivers GPU Computing For Microsoft Visual Studio
Today NVIDIA announced the release of NVIDIA Parallel Nsight software, the industry’s first development environment for GPU-accelerated applications that work with Microsoft Visual Studio. MSFT Visual Studio is one of the most widely used development environments in the world for Windows-based applications, and with this announcement NVIDIA has made GPU computing accessible to all those working in a Windows environment. Parallel Nsight is especially exciting for game developers. The software delivers the DirectX 11 tools required by graphics developers and makes leveraging and debugging GPUs easy and accessible. Also announced today, NVIDIA releases the CUDA Toolkit 3.1, an update to its CUDA software development kit.
“DirectX 11 delivers the technology for game developers to create immersive worlds, dynamic characters and more realistic gameplay,” said Anton Kaplanyan, lead researcher at Crytek. “Game developers are leveraging both the GPU and CPU to achieve these new levels of realism and Parallel Nsight is the first toolbox in the world that allows us to look under the hood of the GPU, and makes parallel debugging not only possible but pleasant, significantly accelerating DirectX 11 development.”
